Sunwave

Sunwave is an mobile application designed to calculate the various aspects needed to install solar panels efficiently. This application provides a user-friendly interface and numerous features to simplify the planning process for solar panel installations. It is built using the Python Kivy library.

Features

• Annual Usage Calculation: Computes the average annual energy usage for your building using limited input data.
• Power Requirements Estimation: Determines the power needed to fulfill your energy usage based on the provided data.
• Solar Panel Requirements: Calculates the number of solar panels required and their power output based on the specifications of the solar panel you provide.
• Bearing Load Calculation: Automatically computes the bearing load to ensure the system is structurally sound.
• Inverter Suggestions: Provides options for inverters suitable for your setup.
• MPPT Count: Suggests the number of MPPTs (Maximum Power Point Trackers) to assist the engineer in determining the required number of strings.
• Circuit Breaker Selection: Calculates the current at which the circuit breaker should trip for safety and suggests suitable circuit breakers.
• Wire Cross Section Calculation: Computes the cross-section of the wire (for 2-core wires) based on the wiring details you provide.

Requirements
