Hi I'm Marty, from Photonik — your professional solar design tool. Photonik is simple enough that homeowners can see their potential savings in a couple of minutes, and powerful enough that over 2,000 installers have used it to run full proposals. Our users have created over 50,000 designs, in 190 countries. That's basically every country in the world!
Jason and I started with Clean Energy Reviews in 2014. Back then, a lot of the products on the market had serious quality issues, and no-one — homeowner or installer — had a good way to tell which ones were actually worth buying. Ten years on, we've helped millions of people choose quality solar systems. Photonik is built on everything we've learned in the process.
So, try it out. It's free. Let me know what you think.
