Use it on-site while standing under the roof area you want to check. Fill in the roof details first, then note shade patterns at each time of day and season. Add a quick sketch to mark where shade falls and where obstacles sit. This gives you a clear record to compare roof sections and support early solar planning.
Good for
- Record roof details before solar quotes
