SOLAR-POWER-SIMULATION

• A computer simulation of the sun's path in order to increase any solar-power system's efficiency,
   
• which gives background know-how for architects, solar-consultants, supporters and critics of solar-power.
   
• A   'Time machine's solar flight - from the Equator to the pole'   shows amazing connections. This special journey will not only asks questions but also give the answer.
   
• Solar-Power-Simulation shows energy efficiency for a given generator position - all over the world - and calculates possible optimization.
   
• Power output of solar generators or collectors will increase up to more than 20% - compared with some non-optimized standard directions - even if there is no tracking device (please click for examles).
   
• The simulation gives a prognosis of a system's true power under all weather conditions
   
• and optimizes its output by minimizing the time that the sun is hidden by various sky-lines.
   
• A large number of individual sky-lines can be recorded in a special Horizon-Database.
   
• In addition the simulation's shade analysis will give important input for architects in order to optimize the layout of sun-terraces or sun-blinds.
   
• Do not hesitate to do your own experiments.
  Experience the pleasure of a midsummer's night on screen, take a trip to the North-pole or the Equator - under all weather conditions and in every season.
   
• Solar-Power-Simulation requires Microsoft Excel, version 97;
  however you do not need any knowledge of Excel as the program is controlled by a menu surface witch will give you every assistance.
   
• If Excel is not available for you, you do not have to miss out on the simulation and optimization: SolarWare will do this service for you based on your particular solar data.
