Internally illuminated, photovoltaic devices have been used today in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, some of these devices have been misapplied to locations where there is not enough sunlight to adequately meet their output needs. In order to prevent such misapplications, a tool, named the Solar Calculator, was developed. The spreadsheet-based Solar Calculator program determines whether or not a particular internally illuminated, photovoltaic device, programmed for night application is likely to possess the power management needs of a given location. The Solar Calculator synthesizes weather and sunlight patterns for any given location, determines how well a particular device will perform under the simulated weather conditions, and displays the results in interactive figures. When used in coordination with a GIS, device performance can be displayed over a region, allowing the user to determine exactly where the particular device should and should not be applied.
