The first and simplest solar PV sizing calculator!
PVme - My Solar Energy Calculator transforms your iPhone into a trusty solar power calculator that estimates the solar PV system wattage size needed to eliminate your electricity bill based on monthly Kilowatt-Hours and location.
Once your initial estimate profile is saved, you can calculate the number of solar panels needed by selecting your project in "Past Configurations" at the home screen.
There you can also email yourself your system configuration as a reference if you think going solar is for you!
Great tool for solar power beginners, enthusiasts or professionals! Beginners and enthusiasts can ballpark rough system sizing relative to the local dollar per watt cost.
Solar Energy professionals can use it for the same purpose to quickly give interested clients estimates on the spot!
Enjoy!

Latest reviews of PVme - My Solar Energy Calculator app for iPhone and iPad
The app only includes options for locations in the USA. If it had Canadian data it might actually be of value to me.
I reccomend this app to people who want to keep records of kwh usage, and how many daily hours of maximum insolation your area gets. The app could be better as far the UI goes, but overall its a nice app.
a simple solar tool to calculate the size of your solar PV system needed to zero out your electricity bill. great way to estimate costs before you further explore going solar - fun stuff!
Simple and easy to use, this gives a quick estimate using your average number of hours of sunlight per day.
