Description

GeoT*SOL enables precise minute-by-minute simulation of heat pump systems, allowing for the assessment of annual performance indicators such as the coefficient of performance (COP) and the financial margins associated with their use. Additionally, these systems can be integrated with various heat generators, including gas condensing boilers and solar energy installations. Users can choose from several operational modes, including monovalent, monoenergetic, and bivalent configurations. The annual performance factor as per VDI 4650 serves as a crucial benchmark for evaluating the efficiency of different plants. This measurement is essential for many financial support programs and regulatory approvals. Furthermore, GeoT*SOL computes the system's profitability in line with the guidelines set forth by the Federal Association of the Solar Industry (BSW), comparing costs of the heat pump system against alternative systems; it also evaluates the capital value and production costs, including the heat price, along with the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) that accounts for profit as well as reinvestment opportunities. Ultimately, the tool provides a comprehensive analysis that aids users in making informed decisions regarding their heating systems.

Description

For solar designers seeking the utmost in precision and accuracy, PVCAD offers unmatched efficiency, allowing for quicker finalization of designs and job quotes. By utilizing the design criteria from PVCAD’s extensive integrated databases, users can save precious time while minimizing the risk of expensive errors and omissions. Our continuously expanding database includes thousands of inverters, modules, and racking partners, and users can conveniently add their own equipment via the database button located in the PVCAD ribbon. Are you interested in having your equipment included in our growing database? PVCAD leverages production modeling from PVWATTS, a tool developed by NREL, to provide accurate 8760 data that details hour-by-hour production throughout the entire year. With the most current weather data sourced globally from Meteonorm, designers can trust the reliability of their models. Additionally, the capability to model in AutoCAD ensures that users achieve the most precise system measurements available in any drafting software. With such valuable resources readily accessible, designers are empowered to produce expert-quality results, elevating their projects to new heights. This comprehensive approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters confidence in the final outcomes.
