SolWise AI - Solar Advisor

SolWise AI is a clean energy simulation and diagnostic utility designed to help homeowners evaluate rooftop solar investments, optimize system parameters, and track monthly electricity savings.

Key features:

• ROI & Payback Calculator: Input your average monthly electricity bill and available roof space to project setup costs, annual yield, CO2 reduction, and estimated payback periods. The simulator supports both local EVN progressive tier rates and flat fixed tariffs.

• AI Sizing Advisor: Get system configuration recommendations. The app estimates the recommended solar panel quantity, necessary roof active area, optimal tilt, and inverter capacity matching your home's monthly energy demands.

• OCR Utility Bill Scanner: Take a photo of your paper electricity bill. The integrated camera scanning utility automatically extracts utility payments and monthly consumption figures to quick-start simulation inputs.

• Solar Hardware Diagnostics: Snap photos of solar PV panel surfaces or inverter screens. The diagnostic system helps identify issues like soil accumulation, shading, or hardware fault codes, estimating efficiency losses and offering technical remediation tips.

• Output Logger & Savings Tracker: Maintain a monthly log of energy production and total consumption to track self-consumption ratios and cumulative utility bill savings.

• Policy & Contractor Guides: Read guides explaining local grid connection rules, bi-directional meter applications, and technical checklists to interview contractors before purchasing.

SolWise AI processes simulations locally and uses secure cloud endpoints to generate hardware recommendation insights. Your location information is processed solely in the foreground to detect local solar radiation coefficients and is never shared with third parties.
