Assistant Software PV (Software version 5.0)

Solar Pathfinder
Pathfinder Assistant Software
Version 5.0

Solar Pathfinder Assistant Software (Version 5.0) used in conjunction with a Solar Pathfinder unit generates monthly sunpaths for each specific site latitude (instead of relying on the stock latitude band diagrams as in previous versions). Includes weather data for North America (Canada & USA), Central America, Europe, Southwest Pacific. All other sites will receive % of solar radiation only.

Create professional looking and accurate site reports easily with the Solar Pathfinder Assistant!

NOTE: Each copy of the software will come with a serial number. The serial number is then input into the software to unlock the full functionality. Lost serial numbers can be found at www.solarpathfinder.com/lost_serial_no.
