SunEye™ Home
The SunEye™ (patent pending) is a hand held electronic device that assesses total solar energy available given the shading of a particular site. Save cost and time by identifying shading patterns early in the design process, making sure you locate systems in the best place.
Fast estimates lead to quick sales and designs. Installers who use SunEye™ give customers confidence and demonstrate professionalism.
The SunEye™ provides easy measurements and instant feedback. Data is automatically stored for later review.
Use the SunEye™ for:
- Solar panel system design and installation
- Passive solar design and green architecture
- On site data collection and analysis
- Solar access reports
Solar Panel System Design and Installation
The SunEye™ is the most important tool for the professional solar installer, saving time and money and helping to design the highest performance systems. It's equally useful for PV, passive hot water, roof mount or ground mount systems.
Optimize new systems for maximum production. Analyze existing installations to solve problems of under production. Identify specific shade-causing obstructions such as trees or structures and know instantly how much additional energy would be produced if the obstruction were removed.
Passive Solar House Design and Green Architecture
When you need accurate site-specific solar access data for a new building or a renovation, the Solmetric SunEye™ is the right tool for the job.
On-Site Data Collection and Analysis
- Fish-eye lens and digital camera
- Sophisticated measurement software
- Simulates removal or addition of shading objects or structures
- Accommodates all panel orientations (tilt and azimuth)
- Accounts for panel tilt and orientation
- Multi-skyline averaging
"The SunEye™ helps us streamline the whole design process, and is a joy to use. I wouldn't live without it!"

Solar Access Reports and Data Files
The SunEye™ interfaces to the USB port of your PC, and data is transferred from the device to the SunEye™ Desktop software. A Solar Access and Shading Report summarizes the data from each session.
The SunEye™ also outputs various data files for use in simulation and design programs including PV*SOL, T*SOL, PVSYST, PVOptimsize and OnGrid.
When data is taken using the GPS option, all Skylines are geo-tagged, and the locations and data can be output to Google Earth™.
