Review: Awesome products - Must have for any solar contractor, we recommend that you also purchase the PV studio software, it will save you hours on your design. Tech Support is,the best, supper quick response even after hours. Review: Good. Expensive. Version mix up. - This worked well to assess shading & solar exposure for building sites. I was able to take pictures of it and compare sites later. I had trouble tracing the shading using the supplied white marker under the dome because the space to work under the dome is tight. This might take practice. The case is quite nice and everything fits, including the tripod. It works best under an overcast sky or just after sunset or before sunrise. Beats the heck out of guesswork or spending a year collecting data! It comes with 4 or 5 of each of the most common latitude charts and a couple of angle measurement charts. I can't vouch for accuracy, but my guess is that it is adequate. For the price ($299) it should be brushed aluminum instead of plastic, have a nice oil-damped level, a better compass, a nice soft cloth bag for the key component - the reflective dome, and a standard tripod mount. But, it is a unique, useful and clever product, possibly patented. I know of nothing else comparable for the job. If the company is making a killing on it - great. That's capitalism. I ordered the version with the tripod for $40 extra. You need this or something comparable (a beanbag?) to take photos. I received one without the tripod. I don't know who mixed up the order: desertcart or the seller, 9G Health Foods. desertcart offered no option except to return it to them, so I called 9G Health Foods and they shipped me the tripod at no charge with 2-day delivery same as desertcart prime. Excellent service on their part. If I were ordering today, I might order it direct from the manufacturer's web site, (same price when I looked), pay for shipping, and maybe avoided the mix up. But, thanks to free shipping from desertcart prime and good service from the seller, it worked out better this way even with the mix up. ## Features - Easy set-up to measure the suns path throughout the year - Tripod included - marking pencils and chart papers for specific latititudes - lightweight and portable - smartphone friendly technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 13 Reviews | ## Images ![Solar Pathfinder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91b3GqHoGfL.jpg) ![Solar Pathfinder - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91tLy8PQ9iL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi, Which are the charts included with this instrument? north?south? or whch latitude range?** A: I received 5x 25-31 deg N, 5x 31-37 deg N, 5x 37-43 deg N, 5x 43-49 deg N and 2 angle estimators.
