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

PVsyst caters to architects, engineers, and researchers, and serves as an excellent educational resource as well. It boasts an extensive contextual Help menu that clarifies the various procedures and models employed, ensuring a user-friendly experience while guiding users through project development. Additionally, PVsyst can import meteorological data and personal data from various sources, enhancing its versatility. Regarding inverter sizing, the second graph illustrates the annual distribution of array power alongside the nominal power of both the array and inverter. Moreover, managing storage within a grid system presents a multifaceted challenge, as different objectives can necessitate various strategies and configurations of PV systems. This adaptability makes PVsyst an invaluable tool for anyone engaged in the solar energy field.
