I've used the Pathfinder for decades, so I'm partial to them. Great for on-site discussions of shading issues with the customer, as multiple people can see the shading at the same time on the spot. I've also used their Assistant software, and it works pretty well. You take a photo of the actual pathfinder from above, and then download the photo into their software. You can then calculate total annual impact of any shading in Kwh, or percentage of annual production. I've been quite happy with the system, and the price for a Pathfinder, and the software is much less than the Suneye, I believe.
