Benn, I have used the asset for the past year or so, and it is a great panoramic digital site tool, it takes a while to setup a tripod and snap the picture sets of 7,9,14, or 18 photos compared to say the Suneye 210 which you can hold in the palm of your hand. The asset software configures the kWh output based on pvwatts ver 1 and outputs it to a spreadsheet. Also the panoramic (asset) and fisheye (suneye 110 & 210) shading calculations seem to be within 1% of each other when compared side by side. The asset camera is also handy for jobsite photos, although you may need a memory card, nothing like getting an out of memory error while up on the roof!
