A bankable alternative to PVsyst

You can mitigate risks from PV projects with an accurate and trustable energy yield. Having an embedded design and engineering software within your EY tool helps you observe how changes in the PV layout affects production, CAPEX, OPEX or LCOE.

We turned to market-leading engineering firm 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.

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.»

Questions? We've got you covered

RatedPower covers all the design phases of solar PV projects. On one hand, it carries out the whole engineering process, covering up to the interconnection facility design. On the other hand, RatedPower team has developed a comprehensive energy yield model algorithm to carry out energy production simulations. While other tools focus solely on one part of the design process of PV plants, RatedPower's platform provides not only an optimized layout solution, cable sizing and detailed energy yield results, but multiple engineering documentation including an accurate and complete BoQ showcasing the CAPEX.

Since RatedPower is a cloud-based software, it can be accessed from any web browser with no geographical restriction. Within the same company account, all users can access the platform simultaneously and work collaboratively, without having to install any program on their computer. There is also no need for any upgrades of the software, all new features and improvements will become automatically available to you.

RatedPower improves team communication and cooperation. Users can access every project within the company license, and also work together by cloning and optimizing other company users’ simulations.

Having a technical background is not a must for our clients. Our UI/UX team works hard to provide a user-friendly and intuitive interface and all requested inputs have a project-based default value.

In essence, RatedPower is a collaborative and comprehensive tool that allows an automated, iterative and extremely fast alternative to the traditional PV plant design process.

Our business development team will arrange with you a call to fully understand your needs and customize an in-depth demo. After green light on contract, your team will be fully onboarded on the second week.

The resource investment from your side pays off. RatedPower will save tons of hours to your team quoting new PV projects and creating the engineering documentation you need for tendering.

Are you thinking about increasing project pipeline? RatedPower allows you to double prospecting and quoting capability, without hiring new headcount.

Additionally, unlikely traditional engineering workflows or desktop software, each PV plant design comes with 400+ pages of technical documentation ready for your off-taker.
