Photovoltaic panel installation animation simulation

What types of solar systems can PV*SOL simulate?

With PV*SOL you can deisgn and simulate all types of modern PV systems. From the small rooftop system with a few modules to medium-sized systems on commercial roofs to solar parks with up to 100,000 modules - PV*SOL supports you with numerous tools for design and simulation. Choose the type of design that best suits you and your PV project!

Why should you use simulation software for a solar system?

Simulation software is the ideal design tool, making accurate predictions easy. Give customers the best return on their investment by visualising systems and creating professional reports. PV*SOL is the 2D solar software design tool for simulating photovoltaic system performance.

How does Solarius PV 3D work?

With the Solarius PV 3D objects: detail your PV system design by using objects available for free in the extensive online collection of 3D Models, import SketchUp ®, OBJ, 3DS, etc. file formats. The 3D modelling process allows you to identify installation surfaces for your photovoltaic modules with a simple click.

Can I import a mix of PV & solar thermal images?

Mixtures of PV and solar thermal images can be imported, combined with Velux roof windows and multiple roof tile forms and colours. PV*SOL comes with Meteosyn climate data software. This comes pre-loaded with thousands of global climate data locations and allows you to add custom climate data into your database as required.

How does a solar irradiance simulation work?

Run the simulation and observe the resulting signals on the various scopes. (1) At 0.25s, with a solar irradiance of 1000 W/m2 on all PV modules, steady state is reached. The solar system generates 2400 Watts and the DC link is maintained at 400 volts with a small 120-Hz ripple due to the single-phase power extracted from the PV string.

How can the SolarCity simulator assess the economic feasibility of rooftop solar PV?

For instance, by inputting values for subsidies or income tax credits, the SolarCity simulator can assess the economic feasibility of rooftop solar PV systems. This assessment is based on a simplified model that assumes a solar programme aiming at full utilisation of all suitable rooftop spaces.
