Why choose RatedPower instead of PVsyst?
Thousands of professionals choose to work with our solar software
Ekhi: From feasibility checks to confident designs in record time
«One of the most common challenges we face is space constraints. We need to play around with different tilts and pitch, and this used to be quite a long process with several tools. The great thing about RatedPower is that we can simulate many scenarios, varying all these parameters, and have it done in no time. With the Layout Editor, we now see a huge improvement when fine-tuning our plant layouts.»
Res Group: Enhancing project delivery by connecting RatedPower with AutoCAD and PVsyst©
«When manually doing a preliminary site layout in AutoCAD, it can take considerable time and resources. Depending on the size of the site, it can easily take one or two days just for one single scenario. RatedPower’s ability to export layouts as DWG files ensures smooth integration into AutoCAD, helping reduce this workload and speed up design iterations.»
Recurrent Energy: Turning multi-tool workflows into a unified PV+BESS platform
«We have reduced our overall engineering workflow by about 50%, thanks to the platform combining CAPEX estimation, AutoCAD designs, and battery storage simulations. We’ve been able to design several megawatts of storage and it has helped us improve our grid connection applications for stationary BESS projects throughout Europe.»
Akuo Energy: Making smarter use of land with Layout Editor
«The new Layout Editor gives us more flexibility to optimize land use, with the option to remove or add structures and align them with parcel borders. It helps us make better use of the total available area of our plant.»
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.»
Hidrosolar: Unlocking 30% more efficiency in solar design with RatedPower
«We were able to be up to 30% more efficient when making estimates for new projects by having a clearer idea for future developments. So, in terms of time, we could save around 20% to 30%»
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.»
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%.»
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.»
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.»
Empowering Recurrent Energy from PV design to financial feasibility
«Of all the solutions we evaluated, RatedPower proved to be the most comprehensive, allowing us to generate layouts, one-line diagrams, reports, energy yield forecasts, and CAPEX & LCOE estimates—all in one platform.»
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.»
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.»
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.»

An energy yield +0.24% different to PVsyst
Energy yield modeling is a mix of hard data and thorough scientific-led methodology. Specific yield or annual degradation are common results in any energy yielding software, such as PVsyst or their alternatives.
We turned to Black & Veatch to compare RatedPower's energy yield module to PVsyst output in four real-life cases. Deltas range between +0.24% and +1.08%. Related detailed yielding documentation is available in both tools.
