Utility-scale solar design at lightning speed
Smart energy flow
Here’s how we can help you
80% of the PV projects that make it into the queue for planning never make it to commercial operations. Ensuring fast and reliable results is the only way to mitigate risks and achieve success in today’s fiercely competitive solar market.
x160 faster layouts
Increase layout creation by more than 160 times compared to traditional manual methods. Double your portfolio size in no time.
5% less LCOE
Make confident and insight-driven decisions and reduce LCOE from site planning to construction.
20% more asset profits
Iterate your layout configuration to find the best option in seconds and reduce human errors. Get bankable results your off-taker can trust.
Unlocking ROI with solar software
We teamed up with Enverus to run a comprehensive analysis of where utility-scale developers, IPPs, and EPCs might be losing ROI during the PV design and engineering stage.

The best-in-class solar players choose to work with us
Enhancing Hodson Energy’s streamlined project qualification and PV design
«With Enverus PRISM, we quickly filter opportunities and gain a holistic view of viable projects. Enverus RatedPower automates our design process, turning weeks into minutes»
Kickstarting efficient project pipelines
«Although every single engineering aspect and decision is reassessed upon further stages of development, having a pre-made set of rules and standards to start from really helps simplify the development process.»
RatedPower's speed helps us boost our competitive advantage
«Now we can turn around design documents within hours and minutes to stakeholders, landowners, partners or engineers, to get through our regulatory process. This has allowed us to move projects forward faster.»
Expanding solar projects beyond local borders
«We can now run simulations hundreds of times to find the most optimal solution for our customers, considering everything from modules, inverters, and pitch distance, to the financial assessment of all these different configurations.»
Accelerating solar design from 5GW to 30GW per year
«Before RatedPower, there was a high level of variability, simple land layout to more irregular layouts. Now, we can quickly filter down sites from what is possible to what is realistic.»
Optimizing PV projects and overcoming the limitations of legacy software
«We have received a highly professional response when we needed support or training from the team. RatedPower helps us optimize our projects and provides us with a significant advantage over our competitors.»
Empowering solar PV design customization through faster iterations
«In one or two weeks, I became very familiar with the software. I was able to do more iterations on our solar layouts, and we could fill the interconnection requests in no time.»
Enhancing land assessment efficiency for PV developers
«RatedPower produces a set of documentation to deal with most of the environmental agencies' requirements and for application of grid connection authorization processes.»
Doubling PV project development bandwidth with RatedPower
«Thanks to the new developments created by RatedPower that adapt to our needs, we could double our capacity. The time we used to spend on designing and reviewing designs is now focused on doing more projects.»
Centralizing solar development in one app
«We used to use a mix of tools like AutoCAD, spreadsheets and PVsyst. Now with RatedPower, our team can be innovative and explore more possibilities without wasting time, as each design only takes minutes to run.»
Aligning stakeholders from development to procurement
«The solar industry is becoming more volatile and complex. In today’s world, developers, contractors, and buyers need flexible, scalable and configurable cost estimation tools linked to design for running different scenarios.»
Driving efficiency and optimizing resources for more than 50 projects
«RatedPower offers highly personalized customer support. The team has been efficient in solving our doubts and helping us learn how to make the most out of the tool based on our unique needs.»
EPCists expediting PV design and deliverables with solar software
«We looked for a tool that was quick for performing basic design and optimization, automatically producing deliverables. RatedPower increased the number of bids we could prepare and submit by around 50%.»
Competitive positioning in large-scale overseas PV plant bidding
«RatedPower has a solid customer base and good reputation abroad. It delivers required documents in multiple languages for our global bids while adopting international design standards»
Harnessing RatedPower to carry out invaluable PV equipment analysis
«RatedPower provides us with simplicity and flexibility in our solar projects while requiring fewer resources. Other software options typically demand more resources on our end to complete these calculations.»
A three-in-one software that saves PNE time and resources
«It's easy to use, even for non-technical users. Now, anyone in our offices can efficiently create their own designs, and our German engineers can manipulate anything in our projects remotely since RatedPower's platform is cloud-based.»
