Soleili, the sunny freeware
The sun, it's light and heat ! It's such a pity to see that some buildings with great possibilities of sunniness are bad exposed, most of the time by disinterest or just ignorance at the construction time. Financially it's a loss, ecologically it's a disaster, and it's also very regrettable for our health. Then, use Soleili to optimize the house aspect, to put effective solar panels or to proceed to some bright fittings.
Soleili is a calculating software which runs on Windows. The program computes the sun position, looks at the impact of the different shadows and informs about the sunniness in a graphical and numerical way.
The users, private persons or architects, appreciate the adaptability and the efficiency of Soleili. Its carefully prepared ergonomics comes up to the expectations of the most professional of them. Moreover, this software is free !

The first step consists in drawing the building to be studied by arranging plane faces in the space, according to a 3D coordinates system. Afterwards, the program computes the sun position for geographical and time conditions specified by the user. Then, regarding that each face is an obstacle for the suns rays, the program returns graphically and numerically the sunniness of the selected faces. Of course, numerous tools and options are available for all these processes.
Among numerous cases of use, Soleili can help to choose for example : the house aspect, the rooms arrangement, the windows location, the canopy overhang, the solar panels inclination, the distance between the garden trees, the urban development etc.
Only few geometrical knowledge is necessary to take up Soleili. Private persons, architects or engineers get satisfaction with this software which also allows them very sophisticated developments.
Soleili is free. Soleili wishes for the best use of the solar energy, in order to efficiently protect our environment and our health.
Soleili is not a software with exclusively graphic results, like it can be found everywhere. Thanks to a technology different from the usual ray-tracing, this program can return numerical results, essential to answer energy questions in concrete terms.
On the Soleili site, it's possible to contact the author, to find some information about the solar energy and to calculate the abacuses of sun position.
Here's a free software and several services to answer the crucial question of the sunniness, which is set by all the people who decide to build. With Soleili, let the sunhine in !
