    We are looking to buy a house which has a north facing garden and wondered if a shadow analysis would help us to understand how much sunlight the garden would get during the Summer months. Or, is a shadow analysis ott? Don’t mind not getting sun at other times of the year but I do think if we didn’t get any in the Summer months I’d be disappointed.

    At a guess, it would be easier to get a series of photos on a clear day of where the shadows fall, then use SunCalc (or something similar) to estimate how they shorten during summer.

    I’ve spent so much time trying to get my head around that app but can not grasp it!
