Description
PV Designer software is an excellent choice for residential and small commercial energy systems, allowing users to effortlessly create roof outlines, set parameters for set-backs and keep-out zones, and integrate SunEye shading data at precise roof locations. With features that facilitate dragging and dropping modules, sizing strings, checking inverter capacities, and computing the AC energy output, it streamlines the design process significantly. The program is equipped with comprehensive global databases for modules, inverters, and historical weather patterns, making it a versatile tool. Users can experiment with various design options and analyze their AC kW-hr outputs side-by-side, helping to pinpoint the most efficient design. Although PV Designer is particularly suited for systems of around 15 kW, it can accommodate larger designs of up to 100 kW as well. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even those new to solar design can navigate it with ease, while still providing the in-depth analysis typically reserved for more complex engineering software. This combination of accessibility and robust functionality makes PV Designer a standout tool in the solar design landscape.
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.
