The diagram itself is therefore calibrated to give solar insolation data for all the hours of the day and all the days of the year. The rays of the diagram depict solar time. This diagram is latitude specific and shows the sun’s average path for each month. The sunpath diagram can be seen through the transparent dome at the same time. All the trees, buildings or other obstacles to the sun are plainly visible as reflections on the surface of the dome. The Solar Pathfinder™ uses a highly polished, transparent, convex plastic dome to give a panoramic view of the entire site. When properly cared for, the unit will give the user years of accurate site analysis. One simple tracing does the job and becomes the permanent record for the solar data. Simple and straight-forward in its engineering, it requires no special skills or technical know-how. This insolation data, on an hourly and monthly basis can then be applied to architectural, engineering, solar, and ecological applications. Gross errors in structure orientation, solar system sizing, collector placement, component specification, and scientific studies can result when designers/engineers fail to accurately assess shading patterns t proposed building/ecological sites.īy combining the site-specific shading data of the Solar Pathfinder™ with the published solar radiation figures (by NREL for USA), an accurate solar site analysis can be made.
