Review summary

OpenSolar is a robust and free solar design app praised for its extensive features, user-friendly interface, and responsive support team. Users appreciate the ability to create proposals, use mainstream equipment brands, and access helpful training. However, common issues include unreliable notifications, repeated login requirements, limited resources outside Australia, and occasional slow performance. The app's mapping and satellite imagery sometimes lack sufficient detail, affecting complex designs, and some users reported difficulties creating accounts or finding addresses in specific countries.

Pros

Comprehensive features for solar design including multiple equipment brands and proposal creation
Free to use with excellent support and quick response from the team
User-friendly interface allowing easy operation and multiple user creation
Valuable for solar projects with design, estimation, payment, and documentation features
Regular training events and active helpdesk support

Cons

App notifications and login saving functionality are not working properly leading to repeated login requirement
Limited region-specific resources and mapping data, particularly outside Australia (e.g., India, USA, South Africa)
Performance issues with slow and jerky movements on both desktop and phone versions
Inability to find addresses or create accounts in certain regions such as the USA
Satellite imagery sometimes lacks 3D views, complicating design of complex roofs

2023-02-26	Al*****	Brilliant tool to have to design solar arrays. Includes all the mainstream brands of equipment you'd like to find. My only bad point would be the satellite images it uses, some are not 3D so it can become a little more difficult to create the building, epically complication roof structures. Other than that one small point, which I'm sure will be eventually solved, it's fantastic. They are quick to help you when you raise a ticket, have training events often. And its FREE!!!
