I refer to this:
In SU7, when you geo-locate with "Use current view" you obtain an image perpendicular to green Y axes. (True North and Green axes are the same).
But in SU8 the image is not perpendicular to Y. (Is rotated near a grade).
Why isn't Green Axes set to True North like in SU7?
Why does in Sketchup 8 when I geo-located a model with "add more imagery" green axes never fit to solar north? In Sketchup 7 always were the same.
Skelion, plugin to insert solar photovoltaics and thermal components
Skelion plugin gives Sketchup the possibility to insert solar panels very fast and make fast renewable solar energy studies.
A new free and commercial version have been released. Skelion 5.1.9 (Oct. 2015).

Automatic Shadows projections:
Insert components in non planar surafaces
It can be used to curved sheds and ground mount systems:
Curved surface
Solar modules inserted in curved surface
3D mesh
Adaptation of Ground mount system to a 3D mesh, all solar components with same orientation.
You can download the plugin at the web page:
