Lightning fast layout
Get a new design from scratch in minutes —including required earthworks. Or clone an existing one and compare them in a matter of three clics.
- pvDesign calculates the volume of earthworks required to install a structure
- It works along with the topography analysis to achieve better compliance with the terrain.
- Get accurate energy yielding and cost estimates.
Long-range energy yield
Get up to 50 years of energy yield of your plant design using your meteorological, horizon and albedo data. Or use our out-of-the-box data sources.
- 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.
PV CAPEX at a glance
Use the default cost templates or customise them to get a CAPEX and LCOE analysis of your PV project in seconds. Just input the unit price. The hassle of finding the number of required equipment is on us.
- Adapt costs categories to fit your clients requests.
- Input OPEX and effortlessly get CAPEX in your currency.
- Download your custom CAPEX analysis in an editable spreadsheet.
