Compare PVsyst vs. RatedPower

«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.»

«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.»

«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.»

“At the last steps, just before financial investment decision, I was still able with RatedPower and the approach that we were using to improve the IRR for the project by 0.2 to 0.5%”

«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.»

«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.»

«We cut down engineering time on individual project with quite high certainty on the layout and yield, probably by 30 to 40%.»

«Today, we have layouts, financial analysis, and generation forecasts—under different exceedance probability scenarios—all in the same tool, just as banks are demanding today.»

«Each simulation gives us detailed energy and financial insights, helping us make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.»

«RatedPower really helped us eliminate our bottlenecks. It goes beyond other tools because it helps us design not just the low voltage or medium voltage, but also the connection point to the grid.»

«RatedPower's energy yields of our PV systems are pretty similar to what we use to have with legacy tools. It also has an excellent ability to launch new features.»

«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%»

«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»

«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.»

«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 allows us to have the capacity to do more strategic front-end early contractor involvement, helping us build projects faster and reducing schedule overrun risk.»

«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.»

«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.»

«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.»

«We needed software that was easy to handle, fast, and detailed. Now, with RatedPower, our developers can design in half an hour. Using AutoCAD or other tools would take one or two days.»

«It takes just a few days to figure out how much land do we need for a solar project. It used to take two or three months.»

«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.» 

«RatedPower produces a set of documentation to deal with most of the environmental agencies' requirements and for application of grid connection authorization processes.»

There is only a team of three of us doing the design work with RatedPower. We just need some hours —instead of weeks. It's amazing!

Deployment was fast and easy to use for the development team. We've reduced assessment time from one week to hours.

«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.»

«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.»

«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.»

«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»

«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.»

«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.»
