Solar site survey/analysis of shadows using elevation/azimuth

Find where shadows will be year round shading your solar/photovoltaic panels, solar array, solar air heater, solar pool heater, permanent solar cooker or other solar system. This video demonstrates a DIY/homemade tool that measures azimuth and elevation which you can then plot on a sun chart.

For another shade finder I made that is faster to use, but takes longer to build, watch "Shadow wars/solar site survey Shade Finder tool":

Photos of the photovoltaic system and the solar domestic hot water system are of systems I helped install while working for Ottawa Solar Power (http://ottawasolarpower.com).
