Why people use Solar Orientation Analyzer
Solar Orientation Analyzer for Architectural Solar Analysis
With this Connector, you just tell your AI client which way a wall faces and what the location is. It pulls the math and gives you the angles and duration in seconds. You get a clear design path instead of a messy spreadsheet.
What Vinkius changes
You get accurate solar data and design strategies without doing any manual math.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Solar Orientation Analyzer.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Solar Orientation Analyzer MCP help with building heat gain?
Yes, it analyzes solar exposure and suggests specific strategies like shading or glazing to help manage heat.
Does the Solar Orientation Analyzer MCP work for any latitude?
Yes, you just provide the latitude and the Connector handles all the math for that specific location.
Can I use the Solar Orientation Analyzer MCP to choose between different shading types?
Yes, it provides architectural recommendations like brise-soleil or reflective glazing based on your building's data.
How does the Solar Orientation Analyzer MCP handle different seasons?
It provides specific data for summer, winter, and the equinox so you can plan for variable weather patterns.
Can I use the Solar Orientation Analyzer MCP for commercial office designs?
Yes, it is great for determining light duration on facades to ensure office spaces get enough natural light.
Does the Solar Orientation Analyzer MCP provide 3D models?
No, it provides data, angles, and architectural recommendations rather than 3D files or CAD models.
What inputs are required for the capabilities?
You need to provide the facade orientation (in degrees or cardinal points like 'North') and a Brazilian capital city name to retrieve the necessary latitude.
How does it calculate solar incidence?
The calculate_solar_incidence capability uses the latitude of the provided city to estimate the sun's angle relative to your facade during summer, winter, and equinox seasons.
Can I get architectural recommendations?
Yes, the generate_protection_strategy capability analyzes exposure levels to suggest mitigation techniques like louvers or shading devices.
