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
Swiftly create site capacity layouts for large-scale utility projects of various sizes by utilizing a click-and-drag interface, allowing you to position tracker blocks at any desired angle throughout the project area. Conduct more precise site evaluations in a shorter timeframe by examining all piers and confirming that trackers can be installed according to specifications. Remove uncertainty from the equation and observe how changes to structural and electrical elements influence system design and performance predictions. Produce automatic pier plans that include pier placements, surface elevations, and top-of-pile reports tailored for leading tracker systems such as Nextracker and Array Technologies. Additionally, the software can automatically create a PVSyst shade scene (.SHD) file, as well as a project file (.PRJ) and a meteo file (.MET). Once these files are generated, they can be opened in PVSyst to simulate the energy yield while considering topographical impacts. This streamlined process not only simplifies the design export to PVSyst but also enhances the accuracy of bankable energy yield modeling, making it an essential tool for project developers. The ability to visualize and adjust designs dynamically contributes significantly to optimizing project outcomes.
