The sophisticated cloud detection algorithm and the horizon determination tool are particularly interesting features for photovoltaic evaluation applications. Those features are included in the standard MS-Windows controll software. The Sky Camera is not only usefull as an analytic instrument but it also enables the surveillance of PV installations.
