Some of you may have noticed that since June, we’ve been running an experiment: offering all sunniness analyses for free while trying to support our service through ads alone. Thanks to your interest and support, we learned a lot during this period, including:

🔎 Lots of Interest: Many of you took advantage of our free analyses, showing us that they can be valuable.

🔎 Ads Aren’t Enough: Sadly, ad revenue alone wasn’t sufficient to cover our operating costs.

What’s Next? To continue offering our specialized sunniness analyses, we've had to return to a paid model. Your contributions directly support the servers and services that make Suncurves possible.

The upside? No more ads! This means a cleaner, faster experience for everyone. 🚀

🙌 Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We’re committed to improving and growing our services because you’ve shown us they matter.

We asked ChatGPT-4 to generate an image that encapsulates what we do at Suncurves. The prompt that is self-generated and then submitted to DALL-E was:

A breathtaking landscape at dawn or dusk, showcasing the sun just visible over the rugged peaks of a mountain range. The scene captures the unique angles of sunlight, emphasizing the dramatic shadows and the glowing horizon. The landscape includes elements like a serene lake in the foreground reflecting the early morning or late evening sky, and a few scattered trees. The image should evoke a sense of peace and the beauty of nature, illustrating the precise moment of sunrise or sunset as calculated for specific terrain.

We think the result is pretty cool. What do you think?

Exciting Update from Suncurves! 🌄📈

We are pleased to announce an important change to how our services are delivered. Now, instead of purchasing packages of credits, each sunrise and sunset analysis can be ordered directly and individually. Just provide your location and the date, and in about five seconds, receive a detailed interactive report showing the precise times the sun rises and sets over any terrain like mountains or hills 🏞️.

For our existing customers: If you have previously purchased credits, rest assured that you can still use them to order analyses.

As Suncurves continues to grow, we're proud to share that we now have over 15,000 registered users who benefit from discounts on their purchases. To date, we've analyzed more than 42,000 locations worldwide, helping everyone from photographers to travelers, and especially those considering new homes, to find the perfect light for their needs.

Thank you for your continued support as we strive to bring clarity to your sunrise and sunset experiences. Visit us at suncurves.com

Big changes are coming to Suncurves in 2023. We get many requests to access our data to calculate solar power potential throughout the year. The first thing we're going to do is to make our data available to other applications through an API (interface). We also plan to introduce subscriptions, so that you don't have to pay for each analysis. Useful if you're looking for a new house and would like to check the sunlight conditions of several candidates. We'd love to hear from you if you'd like more information.

En klassisk problemstilling som lett kan unngås. Det er smart for både selger og kjøper å sjekke solforholdene på en objektiv måte. Tre sekunder tar det på vår nettside, for enhver adresse i Norge.

Huseier fikk 60.000 kroner i prisavslag på boligen etter å ha sjekket solforholdene på terrassen med en app. Det viste et avvik på 2,5 timer fra det som var oppgitt i prospektet.

Færre boliger til salgs og mer krav til selger. Kanskje vil det hjelpe å dokumentere gode solforhold? Det er enkelt med en objektiv rapport fra Suncurves. Se en demo her: https://bit.ly/suncurvesdemo

Nye regler for boligsalg har ført til unormalt lavt tilbud av boliger til salgs, og rekordsterk prisvekst etter nyttår. Geir Bø på Nesøya i Asker hadde takstmann på besøk i tre dager før boligen ble lagt ut for salg.

Our favorite part of running Suncurves is to hear about how people use it. We have heard from photographers who chase the perfect sunset, farmers who assess the amount of sunlight a parcel of potential agricultural land gets, and a lot of people who are considering to buy a new house and are curious about when the sun rises and sets through the year. If you share your story with us right here, in a private message, or by email, we'd be happy to give you a bunch of free sunlight analyses on https://www.suncurves.com

Suncurves was born out of landscapes like this. In Norway, where the sun is low and the mountains are high. Two scientific coders, Erik Kolstad and Paul Skeie decided to calculate exact sunrise and sunset times near tall mountains all over the world and launch it for everybody to use.
