PV*SOL premium enables users to model complex scenarios involving high-precision shading, battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicle charging, and detailed economic evaluations, ensuring that solar projects are technically sound, optimized for maximum return, and presented professionally to clients.

(H2) Core Functional Capabilities of PV*SOL premium 2026 R3

• High-Precision 3D Shading & Yield Simulation
  Accurately model the impact of shading from buildings, trees, and terrain. The software's advanced 3D visualization and ray-tracing algorithms calculate minute-by-minute irradiation on every module in an array, providing highly accurate energy yield predictions that account for partial shading and module-level performance (using mismatch calculations).

• Comprehensive System Component Modeling
  Design complex system architectures. Model a vast array of components: modules from major manufacturers, inverters (including string, micro, and hybrid), diverse battery technologies (lithium-ion, lead-acid), charge controllers, and backup generators for off-grid systems.

• Detailed Electrical Circuit Design & Loss Analysis
  Simulate the entire electrical system. Design the DC and AC wiring, specify cable lengths and cross-sections, and automatically calculate all system losses (cabling, inverters, soiling, etc.). This ensures the electrical design is safe, compliant, and efficient.

• Advanced Financial Analysis & Reporting
  Create compelling business cases for your clients. Perform detailed investment calculations, including cash flow analysis, payback period, net present value (NPV), and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Generate comprehensive, customizable reports with 3D visuals, graphs, and financial summaries.
