Core Capabilities

1. Detailed System Simulation

   • Performs minute-by-minute, full-year simulations using integrated meteorological data to model energy production with high precision.

   • Supports a vast range of PV systems: rooftop, ground-mounted, carports, and complex bifacial installations.

2. Comprehensive Component Databases

   • Includes up-to-date libraries for PV modules, inverters, batteries, and mounting systems from global manufacturers.

   • Allows detailed modeling of hybrid systems with storage, electric vehicle charging, and heat pumps.

3. Advanced 3D Visualization & Shading Analysis

   • Features a powerful 3D environment for creating detailed site models, including complex roof shapes, neighboring buildings, and vegetation.

   • Conducts accurate, dynamic shading calculations (hourly simulation of shading objects) critical for reliable yield predictions.

4. Professional Financial & Report Generation

   • Calculates detailed financial metrics (LCOE, IRR, NPV, payback period) based on customizable financing and electricity cost models.

   • Generates comprehensive, client-ready project reports, data sheets, and visualizations.

Primary Applications

• Designing and optimizing commercial & industrial (C&I) and large-scale residential PV systems.

• Planning PV systems with storage and sector-coupled energy systems.

• Conducting feasibility studies and creating bankable energy yield reports.

• Analyzing complex shading scenarios and comparing different system configurations.
