Hi Dan,

Curious which Android app you are using.

My circa 2000 pathfinder came with the (flimsy but lightweight) tripod option 
and it is needing some work to repair it, so wondering about your real tripod 
adapter as well - that would make it a lot more robust. The number of times the 
clients Dog knocked over the pathfinder has beaten it up a bit more than I'd 
like.

Hi Peter;
My understanding is that the only thing left of Solmetric at Vivint is the PV 
Analyzer, and though they stated a year ago that they were going to 
"streamline" the PV sales process so that the site survey could be accomplished 
on the same day as the sale, I've seen nothing else from them.
Very happy that I've kept the heavily-modded Solar Pathfinder that I bought in 
1994, with a real tripod adaptor.
For quicky site surveys and semi-interested customers, I use an Android 
smartphone app, which is pretty accurate IF you build a tripod adaptor for the 
phone.
I'm surprised someone hasn't leapt in to claim this market share. Not all of us 
are big-city no-battery PV installers who can use the new Google tool that  
estimates tree heights. My class experiments with this were a bust....it only 
sorta kinda works.
Ground truth is the only thing I trust. Maybe I should just start building and 
marketing my Pathfinder and smartphone tripod adaptors.

Can’t seem to find a SunEye product on the Solmetric website. Is it tucked away 
on the Vivent site or somewhere else hard-to-find?
