But the consensus was that the "replacement" is the digital Google SunRoof Project, using overhead imaging for X-Y axis data combined with Streetview for Z axis data to estimate obstruction heights, and it only works in a limited number of urban areas, leaving us remote off-grid installers with just the old Pathfinder and SunEyes with shot batteries (I have one of the old ones that has the iPaq PDA attached to the unit and bluetooth GPS, if anyone remembers those).<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Week after next I will be tasking my college PV installer class with comparing data from the Pathfinder, old Suneye and the Solar Shading app from Comoving Magnetics on an Android phone with a panning tripod adaptor.
