Programming / My Solar App Has Been Launched On Google Play Store by Charpell(m): 10:42am On Jul 16, 2016 |
About IQSolar After food, shelter and clothing, the next basic need of human is electricity. Electricity is the bane of a nation’s economy and the search for readily available energy leads man to discover other cheaper source of alternative energy. In African, solar energy is the most favored source of electrical energy because of the abundance sunlight in the region. However the cost of acquiring a solar energy system is a major challenge, not because the components itself are expensive but because people cannot logically estimate the required number of component required to setup a solar energy system based on their energy needs and budget. If people can perform energy audit by themselves, they can be able to know the recommended Inverter and number of Batteries they need. Secondly, sunlight intensity differ in many regions of the world, so if people know the amount of sunlight they have in an average day, they can estimate the number of panels and charge controllers they need based on their region. Thus higher the intensity, the lower the number of panels to buy. IQSolar is a solar app that lets users perform basic solar calculations, to determine the types and number of Solar Panels, Batteries, Inverter and Charge Controller required to build a solar energy system based on the user’s Energy needs and Budget. In addition, once the user has determined the type and number of component required to setup a solar energy system, IQSolar automatically creates a quotation for the user. There are 3 types of Solar Installation 1 Backup Installation 2 Stand Alone Installation 3 Hybrid Installations 4 major Component of Solar Setup 1 Inverter 2 Batteries 3 Solar Panels 4 Solar Charge Controller FEAUTURES 1 Energy Audit Energy Auditing is the first step a user takes when trying to install a solar energy system. The total wattage of your appliance plays a major role in your budget. Once the app has recognized the user’s total watt consumption, it will recommend the best inverter size, battery type, number of battery and battery duration to the user. 2 Backup Calculations A backup installation consists of Inverter and a large number of batteries for operation. Here the user relies on the energy from the power grid or diesel generator to charge the batteries effectively. There is no solar panel required, hence the user has to make up enough batteries should incase the power grid fails to fully charge the battery. If the user wants 24hrs supply, the number of battery is determined by the total wattage of the user’s appliance and number of hours available for charging from the power grid. 3 Stand Alone Calculation The user is completely independent from the power grid and only the power from the sun is enough to charge the batteries. Thus it is considered the most expensive form of installation. If the user wants 24hours supply, the number of panels is determined by the number of batteries, number of available sunlight and the type of charge controller used. 4 Hybrid Calculations Hybrid combines different source of electricity (power grid, diesel generator, sunlight) to charge the battery to its full capacity. It is recommended for users that wants to upgrade from backup to using panels or users who can’t afford the cost of solar installation. The number of panels required in hybrid is determined from the number of batteries, type of controller and the hours required for charging; from the grid, diesel generator and sunlight. 5 Series & Parallel Calculation Solar Engineers/ Installers sometimes make mistake in arranging batteries and Solar panels into series and parallel configuration especially when handling a lot of components. This feature can help classify any number of panels into 12v, 24v, 36v and 48v system. 6 Budgets Quotation are inbuilt in every calculation listed above, IQSolar automatically creates a quotation for the user. Highlight • It can calculate the total wattage of your appliance. • It recommends the best Inverter Size based on the wattage of your total appliance. • It recommends the number of batteries based on the wattage of your appliance and the number of hours the users wants for a day. • It recommends the number of solar panels based on the number of batteries, sunlight intensity and charge controller type. • It recommends a solar charge controller based on the size of panels. • Series & Parallel connection configuration for Batteries and Panels. • It automatically creates you a quotation after calculation. • Access to current price list worldwide. • It is flexible; allows you to make changes that suit your budget.

Technology Market / Solar Apps for Your iPhone by Charpell(m): 4:42pm On Jul 13, 2016 |
The iPhone seems like the perfect accessory for a solar power enthusiast. Right now, you have to navigate a maze of websites such as PV Watts to calculate how much energy you can expect to produce and how many years a solar array will take to pay itself off. The iPhone could cut to the chase. It even looks like a miniature solar panel. And indeed the App Store is filled with solar apps. What a shame that none of them quite measures up. I downloaded and tried out 20 solar-related iOS apps—all I could find as of July 15th, apart from those that were restricted to customers of certain utilities, were geared toward professional solar installers, or were merely reference books without any ability to calculate. I don’t have an Android or WM7 phone and would love to hear by Twitter or email from users who have tried out solar apps for those devices. The coolest apps make use of the iPhone's GPS, compass, and tiltometer. You climb up to your roof and position the iPhone where you want your solar panel to be and these apps calculate how much power it'll generate. None uses the iPhone’s camera or ambient light sensor to measure the intensity of sunlight directly; rather, they calculate it from your latitude, panel geometry, and, in a couple of cases, time of day. For my panels, the tilt measurements ranged from 10 to 18 degrees and the azimuths from 144 to 186 degrees. For comparison, the N.J. state inspector who certified our array estimated a tilt of 10 degrees and an azimuth of 202 degrees—so the apps are close enough. By and large, they accurately predicted how much energy my array generates in a year. Two of the best apps, Solar Checker and Photovoltaic, recalculate the annual energy output in real time as you move the phone, making it easy to experiment with different possible configurations. Their readings suggested that the optimal tilt for my location would be 33 degrees, which is close to the 38 degrees estimated by the industry-standard Solar Pathfinder software and the 34 degrees estimated by MACS Labs, a California-based energy consultancy. Some of the apps include a rudimentary financial calculator. You enter the cost of your system and your utility's electricity rate in order to calculate how long it'll take to break even. I found that these estimates varied hugely. None of the apps can handle all the data that would go into a proper financial analysis. By the way, if you play with this feature, the electricity rate you enter should be the actual rate plus the value of any government incentive. For instance, those of us in N.J. get credits worth about $0.60 per kilowatt-hour. For reasons known only to the developers, some of the apps work only in Europe. Because the sun doesn't shine elsewhere, I guess. Try to use them in the U.S. and you get an error message. How hard could it be to make an app that works anywhere? The mathematical formulas are universal and free online databases provide solar yield for anyplace in the world. |

Programming / I Need Beta Testers For My App Before Its Official Release by Charpell(m): 9:10am On Jul 11, 2016 |
Hello everyone As we all know the current situation of electricity in the country, solar energy seems to be the better alternative for the country. However due to the high cost and technical knowledge of setting up the system, i decided to make things easy by developing a program that can configure any energy system used by individuals and solar energy installers So i developed IQSolar an app that can help people perform complex calculation. I have published the pre-release version of the app on google play ahead of its official release. I want the app tested for bugs and grammatical error. As a tester you can't rate or give review yet on play store, if you want to give feedback send me an email or better still, drop your feedback here. If you want to have access to the app on your play store, drop your email address in the comment section or send me a mail to be added. Once i have added your email address to the list of beta testers, you can now install IQSolar on play store. The official release date should be on or before 20th July 2016. Thanks 3 Likes
