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
Nearly all solar professionals, at 98%, perform technical onsite assessments prior to construction, and more than half of them do this before finalizing a sale. Despite these efforts, solar companies often invest hours using ladders and manual measurements on rooftops, which can slow down project timelines, compromise precision, and elevate safety hazards. By leveraging drone technology and advanced 3D modeling, Scanifly’s solar design software significantly reduces the need for roof climbs, cutting onsite time by as much as 90%, and enhances design precision to prevent costly redesigns, change orders, or delays during installation. Traditional tools like ladders, tape measures, and handwritten notes can result in inaccuracies and errors due to guesswork. In contrast, the integration of drones and 3D modeling tools optimizes the workflow, boosting efficiency, safety, and design accuracy. Capture images using your drone (JPEG format) to digitize various aspects of the project. Furthermore, this innovative technology automatically generates scaled 3D models of the proposed sites, providing a comprehensive overview for solar planning.
