Solmetric SunEye™ 210
The Solmetric SunEye™ Model 210 (patent pending) is a hand held electronic device that allows users to
assess total potential solar energy given the shading of a particular site. Identifying the shading pattern early in the process reduces the expense of system and home design and improves the efficiency of the final system or house.
Key Features
- Electronic inclinometer
- Electronic compass
- Single-handed operation
- Rugged, comfortable design
- 2-year warranty worldwide
- Integrated GPS (optional)
- Live Survey Mode - View annual sunpaths live as you scan the site
- Digital camera with fish-eye lens
- "What if" editing of sunpath obstructions with new scenario storage
Solar Panel System Design and Installation
The Solmetric SunEye™ is the most important tool for the professional solar installer, saving time and money and helping to design the highest performance systems. Like its predecessor the SunEye 110, it is equally useful for PV, passive hot water, roof mount or ground mount systems. Its electronic compass and level makes the evaluation process more convenient and efficient.

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
That means:
- Easy measurements and instant feedback
- Fast estimates lead to quick sales and designs
- Data is automatically stored for later review
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. Click here to see a sample report.
