GnuAE - Summary

This software is part of the GNU Project.

GnuAE is looking for a co-maintainer.
If you're interested, please take a look at this general information about GNU
packages and being a GNU maintainer, and then email
-email is unavailable- with a bit about your background and particular
interest in this package.  Thanks.

GnuAE is a GNOME/GTK compliant GUI for designing photovoltaic and
wind powered houses with compliance to the National Electrical
Code. As GnuAE has a database of components and current average
prices, it can help you judge the total cost of a system by
experimenting with different options like using a propane or DV
fridge, or more or less reserve days or hours of sun.

GnuAE is also designed to make it much easier to wire for NEC code
compliance without studying all 800 some pages of the NEC
specification. Even for an electrician, the interdependencies between
calculations is daunting. While DC wiring is much simpler than AC
wiring, most off-grid household systems are both. There is even a
built in NEC calculator for people that have a good feel for what they
are doing, but want to also experiment with differing conduit sizes,
parallel wire runs, and voltage drop.
