Description

ScanTheSun is an application for solar PV-panels and collectors adjustment to get maximum operational efficiency.
The ENERGY GLOBE NATIONAL AWARD winner 2016.
Member of THE WORLD ALLIANCE FOR EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS 2020

ScanTheSun enables you:
1) Minimization of energy loss due to wrong orientation of the panels as well as due to inappropriate placement with respect to surrounding trees/buildings.
2) Reliable planning of the panels mounting. You will choose the best fragment of the roof and decide on usage of additional stands.
3) Acquiring an information on hours of electric energy production or water warming by your panels.
4) Create a detailed solar energy yield online report within a minute.

The Application takes into account buildings or trees around your panels and enables panels adjustment even in complicated urban surroundings. You can use ScanTheSun for adjusting of panels
1) on detached houses
2) on houses in urban areas
3) in PV-panels operated devices in cities or parks (like bicycle docking stations etc.)
4) in traffic solar devices

Features:
a) Elliptic shape of the Earths orbit is taken into account by calculation of the Sun position on the sky. Thanks to that, the Sun position is computed with 0,1 degree precision. This precision will hold for calculations up to the year 2055.
b) Atmospheric refraction of the light going through the thickness of atmosphere depending on the incidence angle is taken into consideration.
c) To get higher precision of the crossing points of the contoured horizon and the paths of the Sun, the barycentric coordinates in a triangle geometry have been applied.
d) Vector openGL graphics together with quaternions and matrix algebra has been used to get faster rendering.
e) Advanced stereometry and matrix algebra enable sensor calibration and camera view-angle measurement.
f) Differential calculus is used to calculate the energy stream picked up by the panel taking into account its orientation, sun trajectory, atmospheric refraction and shade cast by trees/buildings.
g) Multithread architecture of the application consists even of four processes working in parallel. Multithreading ensures smooth work of the application. Thanks to schedulers, the application works well even on old, singlecore devices.
h) ScanTheSun is multilanguage. Presently it supports English, German, Italian and Polish.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★Not being able to use any feature unless purchasing a license is absolutely unacceptable for an app that announces itself as free.
5 ★Ok
1 ★No instructions. What are you supposed to do in step 2? All it does is open a camera.
4 ★This app is really clever and very useful, and appears to give representative calculations in Perth, Western Australia. It takes a couple tries to get used to how to work it. Getting full email reports or reviewing online is easy. 'Saving projects' seems to not work for me but does not seem necessary anyway. I'd recommend giving it a try.
5 ★Well Done!! Would love actual panel output too.
1 ★Went through all the trouble of marking the site and horizon etc. before realizing the app is useless without an activation code
2 ★WILL NOT SAVE STEPS, CONSTANTLY NEED TO REDO ALL STEPS, HOW TO SAVE??!!
5 ★This is the best android app for analyzing the best placement and tilt of solar panels, taking into account shadi g throughout the year. Not very intuition though. Search YouTube for the app and watch their instructions before attempting.
1 ★I'm not able to reach Scanthesun expert... its not even available on play store and the link shared by you isn't working
4 ★It did what I wanted it to do: It showed me the levels of efficiency in changing variables like the angle, placement, time-of-year, and direction my panels were facing.
