Tiny Solar Designer
I wrote a solar power system designer for small-scale solar projects. It started as a PC Parts Picker for solar panels, but I added a simulator and a few other features focused on solar power.
Would love to know what you think about it!

Looks good! Put in a similar requirements as I have on my sailboat and the system it spit out was pretty close to what I have working for me.
So happy to hear it! Are there any tools you'd like to see added?

Good idea, thanks!
Looks like an icon from a fossify project :D
Awesome!
Very cool!
This is pretty cool, thanks!
Just looks like a dark grey background for me.
Hmmm. What browser / device are you using?
Firefox
Sounds interesting, but you're missing a link.
Thanks for letting me know, I was confused by the new article form. Here is the link: http://tiny-solar.space/
Some takeaways I had playing with it quickly:
I think "Time of Day" numeric value display in the simulator is using "Day of Year" as the refresh requirement (remains static through progressing time, but will update if you manually change time or date).
The physical space display at the top of the simulator is cool, but difficult to see everything on mobile.
I like the power line diagram in the builder. Makes it very easy to understand how things would hook together.
Edit: spelling and some word changes for clarity.
Thank you! I will look at the Time of day bug. I will think about the mobile simulator.
