Create an assessment without a horizon survey

Complete the site survey later creates an assessment without capturing horizon points. Use it to prepare a project before a site visit, or when the site has no shading and a horizon survey is unnecessary.

Create the assessment

Sign in to your account, then start a project from the home screen.
Select the site location on the map and check the marker.
Tap Complete the site survey later. This requires a selected location and the relevant access permissions; read the displayed explanation if the action is unavailable.
Enter the system settings, then run the available analyses.

Understand the no-shading assumption

The assessment is calculated without surveyed horizon obstacles. No shading identifies this state in the results. It does not mean the app has automatically checked for trees, buildings or terrain at the site.

The site has no shading: keep this configuration and continue without a survey.
You are preparing for a site visit: results are provisional and do not yet account for possible obstacles. Carry out the survey on site to include them.

Having no horizon profile does not mean all system losses are zero. System losses and other calculation assumptions still apply.

Add a survey later

Open the project on mobile, then Project settings → Horizon profile and shading → Repeat survey. For this assessment without a measured profile, the confirmation offers to start a survey.

Confirming replaces the declared absence of shading and deletes the associated photos and results before the new capture begins. Keep any deliverables you need or duplicate the project to retain the no-shading baseline. Complete the survey, then check the new results before sharing a report.
