Onyx Solar just
released a free app for your smartphone (android or iPhone). This cool new app allows you to calculate the energy produced by a photovoltaic installation, the
hours of light generated, CO2 emissions avoided and even the distance traveled by
an electric car with the energy generated by the PV installation.
Sure this app is fun
for those of us with PV panels installed- we can budget, estimate, show off our
energy production and money savings. But one of the best things about this cool new tool, is
that you don't need an installed system to use the app. You plug in the chosen
technology, and details about the area you have in mind, and it will calculate
the potential energy production.
This app can be used
to compare products, estimate savings, and illustrate in numbers exactly how
much energy you can produce with renewable energy. Everyone from consumers, to producers to advocates and educators could use this app to add to discussions of renewable energy production.
