About SolCalc - Solar Calculator
SolCalc is a solar calculator that helps giving information about sun and moon.
This includes information about sunrise, sunset together with data of the blue hour, golden hour and twilight times (civil, nautical and astronomical). Furthermore you can calculate information about moonrise, moonset and moon phases (calculated data are approximations of +/- 1 day accuracy).
You also can calculate and visualize the shadow length that an object will create.
In this app you can view data for multiple locations. These can be defined manually or automatically by getting your GPS location. Additionally you have the opportunity to manually set timezones of the locations, which can be helpful if you are planning trips to locations with another timezone than the one, where you currently are in.
Core features at a glance
☀️ Calculation of sunrise, sunset and solar noon
🌗 Calculation of moonrise and moonset + moonphase
🌠 Calculation of civil blue hour
🌌 Calculation of twilight times (civil, nautical and astronomical)
🌅 Calculation of golden hour
💫 Visualization of the azimuth-data of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset
💫 Visualization of the azimuth-data of sun and moon for specific time
💫 Calculation and visualization of the an object shadow (e.g. helpful for planning photovoltaics/pv alignment)
📊 Visualization of sun heigth over a day (zenith)
❖ definition of multiple locations, including current position (based on GPS)
❖ forecast
Pro features
❖ no limit in selecting a date for calculation (max. +-7 days in free version)
❖ full monthly forecast
