# SunSleuth

> SunSleuth is a free phone web app (no download) that maps the shade around a spot by having you sweep your phone's camera across the sky. It then estimates sun hours for a garden bed, or kilowatt-hours for a solar panel, at that exact spot through the year, and helps size panels and batteries. Pro is $1.99/month.

## Who it's for
- Gardeners deciding where a bed or plant will get enough sun.
- People checking whether trees or buildings will shade a solar panel spot, and sizing a small panel + battery setup for a load.

## How it works
- Guided sky scan: you sweep the sky with your phone and the app builds a map of what blocks the sky (trees, buildings).
- Sun position is calculated for your location across the year and combined with the scanned obstructions to estimate direct-sun hours or panel energy (kWh).
- Results are estimates; the app shows its assumptions.

## Pricing
- Free to use in the phone browser.
- Pro Monthly: $1.99/month (Stripe). These are the only plans.
