RATEDPOWER FOR DEVELOPERS

PV plant prospecting at the speed of light

Does it frustrate you—or your manager—that your time is terribly wasted on manually optimizing PV plants designs and calculating energy yields? How many apps do you use for gathering PV plant project's documents to apply for permits? How many engineering hours do you need to prospect a site?

TIGHT SOLAR LCOE BY MAXIMISING ENERGY PRODUCTION

Craft is for pottery

Lack of highly specialised software leads your engineering team to work across a variety of non-integrated apps. Such as CAD software and its plethora of not-so-updated plugins, legacy software or your favourite spreadsheet app.

Imagine your engineering team scouting plots of land at 2X higher velocity. There is a better way to keep LCOE low by maximizing energy production in your designs. There is a better way to grow your project pipeline through software.

Head-to-toe

Head-to-toe

Start with a land file and get a comprehensive engineering docs pack without jumping up and down between apps. From layout or electrical reports to energy yield and LCOE. Ready to your off-taker.

Substation engineering

Substation engineering

Automatically design the basic engineering of the step-up substation of your PV plant. Get a complete SLD and a fully detailed report based on your inputs.

DIY

DIY

Empower your engineering teams to carry out feasibility analysis and plant designs. Avoid outsourcing these tasks and save money.

Sharing is caring

Sharing is caring

Stop emailing project files with colleagues and mess it up with document versions. Access, clone, iterate, and compare site projects across the entire organization. All plans include unlimited seats.

Lives in the cloud

Lives in the cloud

Say bye to manually updating your plugins. Our development team deploys new features twice a week. And you get them in no time. Just logging in your favourite browser.

Tailored for solar PV

Tailored for solar PV

By gathering accurate irradiance data, the LCOE for your ground-mounted PV project is solid.

From a kml file to your PV plant technical docs pack in 8 easy steps

The design interface guides you through the steps to get your plant proposal documents. Rely on algorithmic calculations or fine-tune their results to get your desired outcome.

Optimize land use

Optimize land use

Find the best civil configuration to make the most of your acreage. Define your site and upload your topography —including cut-and-fill. Optimize your project by either maximizing or setting a specific capacity. Iterate your layout by adjusting the pitch distance or AC/DC ratio and setting power station location and setbacks.
Prospect sites efficiently

Prospect sites efficiently

Easily clone your PV plant designs and add, remove, or edit parcels within the project. Change any equipment—such as modules, inverters, or racking systems. Analyse prices, LCOE, energy production, and more. Prepare the project documentation ready for later stages.
Quote projects with accurate BoM, CAPEX, and LCOE

Quote projects with accurate BoM, CAPEX, and LCOE

Define the year of your project simulation to calculate output according to standard deviation. Upload horizon and albedo and set advanced parameters for losses. Use the built-in CAPEX templates or upload templates used by your company’s financial team. Create a BoM, and a comprehensive financial analysis of your plant ready to hand over to your off-taker.
Find the optimal layout with GCR, tilt and DC/AC ratio iterations

Find the optimal layout with GCR, tilt and DC/AC ratio iterations

Easily edit those parameters for each design iteration of your plant. Use the powerful batch design to create up to ten simulations simultaneously with slight variations in GCR or DC/AC ratios. Compare them to find your optimal project layout.
Simplify your interconnection process

Simplify your interconnection process

Design your substation or switching and breaking station by picking your preferred electrical standard using a range of available parameters. Manually choose the type or size of the power transformer, the whole gen tie layout and set losses at substation transformer level.
Determine project capacity and energy yield

Determine project capacity and energy yield

Each tweak in your plant design will be reflected in the rated power, peak power, DC/AC ratio, or BESS-related results. Analyze the energy production estimates over time. Get energy yield results, design reports, and losses. Iterate your design based on the results of these data points until your project is optimized.

Build a stronger project pipeline. Speed up your prospecting efforts.

  • PVGIS 5, NASA Power and SSE sources included.

  • Input PV module and PV plant losses and understand how it impact energy yield.

  • Choose your preferred IAM loss model for PV modules.

The first paperwork you'll love

Download a whole pack of engineering documentation for your project. Including BoQ, design drawings, list of cables or electrical diagrams. Ready to cast to your off-taker or EPCist.



  • Design, energy yield and interconnection facility reports.

  • Project sheet, bill of quantities, listing of cables in spreadsheet format.

  • SLDs and 3D facility layout ready to import to PVsyst or your CAD software.
