      Sort of. I made a solar cell testing station that allows solar cells to be tested (to see how good or bad they are) in an automated way. I connected several machines together and they are controlled on a program on my PC that I wrote. I included a lot of specialised testing options. This then became popular in my solar group and an industry partner as it could accurately produce results really easily. Outside of the solar group, it’s not very popular but I’m very proud of it.

      Nothing that’s become really popular, but I did develop an energy management software tool in my previous job that was bought to be developed further by a larger company. We also just developed a new app for a tablet that we hope will become popular!

      No, not yet. Its on the “to do” list.
      I’ve issued reports that people buy for lots of money, but I wouldn’t say they’re popular, just expensive.
