Data accuracy & disclaimer
Analysis uses hourly solar radiation data from Open-Meteo (free tier, ERA5/CAMS). Sun position calculated using the NOAA Solar Position Algorithm — pure mathematics, no external service. Terrain elevation from Open-Elevation SRTM 90m with Open-Meteo fallback.

GTI (Global Tilted Irradiance) is recalculated client-side using beam/diffuse decomposition and your panel angle — not interpolated. Results are intended for initial feasibility planning only and should not replace on-site pyranometer measurement.

Data accuracy & disclaimer
Solar data: Open-Meteo free tier (ERA5/CAMS reanalysis). Terrain: Open-Elevation SRTM 90m with Open-Meteo fallback. Sun position: NOAA Solar Position Algorithm (pure math). GTI calculated client-side using beam/diffuse decomposition — real physics, not interpolation. Temp derating: 0.4%/°C above 25°C. Elevation bonus: standard atmosphere model. Tracker gains: industry standard ±28–40%.
