Built on a bus, used off the grid

Know what your panels will actually make.

SunPlanner forecasts your solar, up to 16 days out, and tunes itself to your real setup, so you can plan your power instead of guessing at it.

The three things that matter

A forecast that's actually about your rig.

01

Forecast.
Your real number, not a guess.

Panel angle, orientation, shading, battery bank: SunPlanner runs the math for your specific setup, not a national average pulled off a weather icon.

02

Find.
Plan ahead, know before you park.

See your production up to 16 days out so you can pick a site, time a laundromat run, or skip the generator, knowing the fridge stays cold.

03

Calibrate.
Built by someone who lives it.

Log a real reading and the forecast tightens around your rig. The longer you run it, the sharper it gets, no lab conditions required.

The app in action

This is what your dashboard actually looks like.

Real screens, real forecast data, dark enough to read at 6 a.m. before the sun's even up over the ridge.

Under the hood

The details that make it hold up outside.

Wind awareness

Gusts change what a panel can take before you do. SunPlanner watches wind speed at your site so surprises stay outside the rig.

Real weather data

Pulled from real forecast models and checked against cloud cover and haze, not just a sunny-cloudy icon guessing on your behalf.

Calibration that learns

Every reading you log makes tomorrow's number sharper. It's your rig it's learning, not a generic panel spec sheet.

Smart notifications

A heads-up before a low-production stretch, timed so you can plan the day around it instead of finding out at dusk.

If you make your own power, this is for you

Why this exists

Built on a school bus, not in a boardroom.

I live full-time in a bus, off-grid. I actually bought a solar app once, then had to switch to a backup iPhone for a while, and my purchase wouldn't come with me. I went looking for another worth paying for and came up empty, so I built my own. It was the first web app I ever finished, Skoolie Solar. I used it a good while before I noticed something: the numbers, mine and everyone else's, just weren't that accurate. So I dug in, and found the reason none of them nail it: they don't calibrate to your own real production. So I built the one that does. That's SunPlanner.
