Description

The PV-DesignPro suite is a dedicated tool for designing and analyzing standalone photovoltaic systems, incorporating hourly simulations that leverage climate data from 239 locations across the U.S. Developed in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories, this enhanced software builds on the original PV-DesignPro-S model. Version 6.0 is compatible with various Windows operating systems, including Windows 95, 98, NT, Win2000, and Vista, and allows users to simulate the operation of photovoltaic energy systems over the course of a year, adapting to selected climate conditions and system specifications. The Solar Design Studio CD-ROM features three distinct versions of PV-DesignPro: "PV-DesignPro-S" for systems with battery storage, "PV-DesignPro-G" for grid-connected systems without storage, and "PV-DesignPro-P" for water pumping applications. Each version is designed to provide precise and comprehensive insights into expected system power output, ensuring that users can effectively plan their photovoltaic installations. Moreover, the software serves as an essential resource for engineers and designers aiming to optimize the efficiency and performance of solar energy 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.
