This is a very attractive site presenting general information on PV and solar water heating systems, and details of PV system suppliers. It is aimed primarily at potential system purchasers, but will also be of real interest to suppliers worldwide who stand to have their product details posted online. One great feature of MySolar is the ‘5 step wizard’. This enables the user to input information about their location and system configuration (grid-connected or stand-alone), the proposed orientation of the system, and power requirement, budget or space restrictions. The site then calculates appropriate system sizes and returns a list of potentially suitable suppliers, from which the user can chose to see a more detailed description of the products on offer.

The main downfall of the site at this moment is that, because it is reliant upon suppliers registering their products and services, for customers in many countries the list that is generated is rather limited. Given time though, this could be a very useful PV sales resource.
