Solar Pathfinder

REAL PEOPLE NOT "BUY IT" BUTTONS - 888-826-0939

 

The Solar Pathfinder provides fast, accurate solar site analysis.  In just minutes, the Solar Pathfinder determines and records year-round, site-specific solar data, with precision and ease you won't find in any other product.

All Solar Pathfinders come with manual, solar radiation data, 20 sun path diagrams, angle estimator, and 2 white wax marking pens with extra leads.

Please Note: Using the proper sun path diagram is critical for obtaining accurate site information.  You will need to know the latitude of the sites you plan on assessing using the Solar Pathfinder.

The monthly sun path diagrams contain 12 horizontal arcs, one for each month; as well as vertical lines for solar time.  Each arc shows the mean sun's path across the sky for that month.  The sun path arc for December is the farthest from the center of the Pathfinder, showing the lowest winter sun path through the sky.  The arc for June is closest to the center, showing the highest summer sun path (Opposite in the southern hemisphere). 

A solid white radial line shows each half-hour division.  Solar time is approximately standard time at the center of each time zone.  Time zones are political boundaries marked to show the progress of the sun across the sky.  Generally, the farther you are from the center of your time zone, the greater the difference will be between solar time as shown on the Solar Pathfinder and the time shown on your wristwatch. See Converting Solar Time to Standard Time in the manual for more information.

The small white numbers inside of the half-hour divisions are values that have been calculated to account for the relative energy in each half-hour.   This is necessary because a half-hour near noon can provide a lot more energy than a half-hour early or late in the day.   The numbers along each sun path arc add up to one hundred percent.
