"This iPad and iPhone app is a comprehensive tool intended to help solar professionals calculate basically all aspects of a photovoltaic array. This includes weather information like clear sky days, hourly angle of the sun throughout the year and more.

It doesn’t stop there, though. The app generates information on the size of system you’ll need and how many panels would be in it. It also calculates what the size a battery backup would have to be for a proposed system. The app also includes a guide and a glossary where users can get more information.

Basically, it’s like having a solar engineer at your fingertips." --cleanenergyauthority.com

This is an application for professionals of the photovoltaic/solar panel industry. PV Master is essential to any person in the field who needs relevant information always available.
Weather you’re a construction company/panel installer or serious DIY enthusiast this app will satisfy all your needs and requirements when it comes to setting up a green energy system. The sun is the future and with this app you can make it happen yourself.

The application is divided into 5 sections:
Data
Here you have all the indeces you will ever need * explicitly for your current coordinates * (such as number of clear sky days, insolation incident, hourly solar angle relative to horizon, battery sizing and deficits, frequency of near-overcast skies, frost days average, average wind direction and speed, average monthly precipitation and pressure and much much more).

Guide
If you’re a DIY look for home improvement or simply “getting started” in this field, here you will find a general guide with the necessary steps and considerations to be made when setting up a photovoltaic panel system.

Pannel Calc
The most frequently asked questions we face when looking into the feasability of sun as energy is “how many panels will I need?”. Thanks to this app the big question is easily answered. Gather the data from the first section and your current electricity bills, input the values and you’re done. Then it’s up to you to decide weather you wish to do it or not...

Battery Calc
If you’re serious about going green then you definitely have to account for everything. The sun is always there but we all know there are many variables that might disrupt our “fuel”. For this reason we need to also account for batteries and surplus storage to evoid wasting potential energy and also not be “stuck” when during the colder season. Again, just gather data, insert it in the easy fields and you’re down. You know everything about kind, capacity and quantity of batteries you need.

Glossary
This is another great section essential for any starter (although even experts will surely learn something form it). A collection of A-Z terms related to this this topic. You can jump to a certain letter if you wish to find something out otherwise just scrolling through it to educate yourself is a great way of spending time.

Additional Info
On startup, the app requests your location and fetches the specific data for the entire first section. This is on actual coordinates, not just state or city...pinpoint!
Every successful data fetch gets stored locally (no need to worry about privacy) so that if the next time you open the app there is no internet connection (perhaps you’re “on-site”) you will still have the everything available.

Manuel en français ?

Payé 9,90 est pas moyen d avoir l appli en français ! ?

manual

Id like to get a manual of this program explaining how to use and the source of the datas.

Crashware

This app tanks on every one of my iDevices (all iOS 8) already at startup. Such crashware should not be permitted in the AppStore. It is not even worth a single star. I want my money back!

PV Master Pro

I want to revise my review of this app as I/we discovered that the iphone hardware was not working properly. We found fault with the GPS and electronic compass and have since sent the hardware back to Apple. We installed the app on a second identical iphone and had no issues whatsoever with the app. It seems to work as intended. Giacomo Balli not only responded to our issues he assisted in trouble-shooting. Good support Maczoid

App has serious bugs

Spent the $12 and downloaded this app. Was the most expensive app yet have purchased. Waste of money. PV Master would not open either on my iPhone 4s or iPad gen 4, with latest updates installed. Tried everything to get apps working. Called apple support and ran thru all techs ideas to no avail, deleted and reinstalled on both devices again. Still didnt work. App will only flash up onscreen for 1 second then disappear. Save your money on this one folks.

E-mail

Succesful but you cant send datas as e-mail or another format. I hope this problem will be update.

Do not buy this app!!

It is a fraud! I have paid for the film version but it does not have any battery calculator and other extras as detailed. It is the same app as the lite version simply hoax!
