I have found a great app on android play store called SolarAnalyzer pro I paid £15 for the pro edition it even gives you real time data I have a Fronius inverter with a data-card linked to the solor-log 200 wifi. Its works with a wide range of inverters and more than 1 at the same time. I view it on my cheap nexus 7 tablet
Not sure which apps will run on the Ipad, my iPhone now indespensible with the following apps:
Electrical Safety Council (safe Isolation Plus Best Practice Guides)
Inclinometer (U-Clinometer)
Compass
Camera (duuuh!)
ExifWizard (details of the photos)
Theodolite
Windmeter (we use a lot of cherry pickers for industrial site surveys)
Torch
NavFree (Free SatNav)
LightMeter (for lighting replacement projects)
SolarTrack
Sun Seeker Lite
SMA Sunny Dots
SMA Sunny Portal
SolarEdge (monitoring)
SolarEdge Site Designer
MetOffice Weather
Screwfix Catalogue
Screwfix Toolbox
LateRooms
oh and - McDsFinder
Just now need a couple of apps for the commissioning documents (use Notes at the moment) and could almost do away with paper!
Plus others for personal use
Heres what some other installers are using:
"SolarTrack is good and free. It overlays the track of the sun onto the camera view so you can see which objects would cause shadow and when"
"I use Solar Payback (UK) on the iPad. Very neat for PV payback spreadsheet and presentations."
"Sun Seeker Lite (free) or full
Altimeter (free) - useful for wind calcs.
Solmetric iPV - It looks expensive but I find it hugely useful for horizons and shading objects. If you live in a hilly area, you would be surprised at the difference horizon can make when properly input into PVsol."
on my phone I have an ap that gives me the ability to call people, an ap that lets me store their phone numbers, and an ap that lets me send little text messages to people and an ap that tells me the time and wakes me up in the morning.
I can thoroughly recommend all these aps to solar installers.
