Kilowattsol : Solar Resource Expert


Calculate the potential photovoltaix from any point on the planet, particularly of course from a roof is the performance of the system developed by Kilowattsol, a start up crated by Xavier Daval in Lyon - France.The system integrates in a box apparatus to acquire data which are then exploited when loading via the Internet using a system of calculation. The box, placed on a roof, calculates the greatest slope, records the GPS, took a photo to 360 degrees in the horizontal direction, and 180 degrees in the vertical direction. It records masks the effect of which will then be calculated by simulating the course of the sun. " In summary, the system records that the roof "sees (and receives) and not what the artisan, the client, the architect who remain on the ground calculate. 
The data are used to distance after loading onto a site. A simulation software can calculate, with a margin of error of 5%, the amount of solar energy received by a roof or roof several elements in the case of complex architecture.
