Solar Spotter shows you exactly where to point your panels for maximum power output — wherever you pull up. No signal needed.
How it works
Three steps to getting the most from your solar setup at any campsite, anywhere in Australia.

A real-time compass shows you the exact direction and optimal tilt angle to point your panels for maximum output right now.
Track your estimated daily output, see sun path charts, and get the best charging window for the day — all in one screen.
