Control Fotovoltaico

Photovoltaic Control is the working tool for teams installing photovoltaic solar systems in rural areas. It serves to document the completed work: each photo is recorded with its date, coordinates, and the corresponding beneficiary.

IMPORTANT: This is a corporate-use application. Registration is not open. To access it, you need a username and password provided by the organization responsible for the project. If you are not part of one of these teams, this app will not be useful to you.

DESIGNED TO WORK WITHOUT SIGNAL

There is no coverage in rural areas, and that is the starting point of the design, not a rare occurrence:

• Photos are taken and saved on the phone even without any network connection.

• The upload queue survives even if you close the app and restart your phone.

• When the signal returns, Android wakes the app and uploads the pending photos in the background, with a progress notification.

• The beneficiary list is downloaded: it can be viewed in airplane mode.

• The municipality and department of each photo are automatically determined using a table of the country's 1,122 municipalities stored within the app, without consulting anyone.

WHAT IT DOES

• Configurable photo spaces per project: each type of evidence has its designated place, ensuring nothing is missing.

• Watermark on the photo with date, time, coordinates, municipality, technician, and project.

• Notification when a photo's coordinates are too far from the registered address.

• Site layout module: the pre-installation visit, with its own checklist and approval process.

• Daily progress monitoring by crew, with installation and energization statuses.

• Beneficiary map and exportable progress reports.

• Paper document scanner: crops and straightens the document using only the phone's processor.

• Verification code printed on the photo to later verify that the image is the original.

EACH ACCOUNT, IN ITS OWN PROJECT

An account only sees the projects assigned to it. Roles (technician, crew, supervisor, inspector, administrator) define what each user can see and do.

PERMISSIONS AND WHY

• Camera: Take photos as evidence. It only opens when you tap a photo slot.

• Location while using the app: Record the coordinates of each photo. Location is not tracked in the background.

• Notifications: Show upload progress. If you deny them, the upload will still work.

• Background sync: Finish uploading pending files when the power is restored, even if the app is closed.
