[RE-wrenches] Successor to SunEye 210?

[Dan Fink]

Hi Peter;
My understanding is that the only thing left of Solmetric at Vivint is the
PV Analyzer, and though they stated a year ago that they were going to
"streamline" the PV sales process so that the site survey could be
accomplished on the same day as the sale, I've seen nothing else from them.
Very happy that I've kept the heavily-modded Solar Pathfinder that I bought
in 1994, with a real tripod adaptor.
For quicky site surveys and semi-interested customers, I use an Android
smartphone app, which is pretty accurate IF you build a tripod adaptor for
the phone.
I'm surprised someone hasn't leapt in to claim this market share. Not all
of us are big-city no-battery PV installers who can use the new Google tool
that  estimates tree heights. My class experiments with this were a
bust....it only sorta kinda works.
Ground truth is the only thing I trust. Maybe I should just start building
and marketing my Pathfinder and smartphone tripod adaptors.
