RatedPower for Project Development

You're deciding on the one scenario you had time for
4.5+200 reviews in G2

A proper site assessment takes one to two weeks by hand, so most go/no-go calls rest on a single design nobody had time to test alternatives against. RatedPower gets you to the same decision on compared scenarios, in minutes.

The assessment queue decides your pipeline, and it shouldn't

Here is the loop. A site comes in. Getting a defensible view of it means a layout, a yield estimate, an interconnection assumption and a cost model, which by hand is one to two weeks of somebody's attention. You have more sites than weeks. So you triage on instinct, and the sites that get properly assessed are the ones that were already interesting.

The consequence is quiet and expensive. Good sites sit unassessed because they didn't look promising on a map. Bad sites absorb months because nobody tested the assumption that killed them until land and grid money had already gone out. And the go/no-go itself rests on one design, because there was never budget for a second.

None of this is a judgement problem. It's a throughput problem wearing a judgement problem's clothes.

What stops happening

Icon

Deciding on a single guess

Compare scenarios instead of defending one. Batch up to ten simulations and read them side by side on yield, LCOE and CAPEX. The go/no-go rests on a spread you can show, not a design you have to justify.

Icon

Triage by instinct

When a site costs minutes, every parcel gets the same treatment. The pipeline sorts on evidence rather than on which sites happened to catch someone's eye.

Icon

Finding the killer assumption late

Interconnection, terrain, land use and cost all enter the assessment at the start. The thing that would have killed the project in month four shows up in the first pass.

Icon

Rebuilding the winners

A site that clears screening carries forward into the same design: layout refinement, electrical, full costing, more than 400 editable documents, and a route to pre-construction-ready through the Layout Editor and a CAD round-trip.

A fast no is worth as much as a fast yes

Development conversations are usually about the sites that work. The expensive ones are the sites that don't, and that you find out about late.

Icon

What a late no actually costs

A site that fails on yield, on land use or on interconnection cost was always going to fail. What changes is what you spent getting there: option payments, land agent time, a grid study, and the weeks your team gave it instead of giving them to something live.

Icon

Test the sites you're unsure about

When a full assessment costs minutes, you can afford to run the parcels you don't have a view on yet, not just the ones you're already committed to. Compare them on yield, LCOE and CAPEX before you commit anything.

Icon

A shortlist you actually filtered

The pipeline that reaches your investment committee stops being the sites that happened to get attention. It becomes the ones that survived the same test.

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.»

SolarFarm Feasibility: Building a feasibility business on rapid design iteration with RatedPower

«Using traditional methods, I often found that it would take a lot of time, and a simple change could ripple and really take time and resources away. I built my business on the ability to give people the chance to look at a lot of different versions very quickly and really find the best solution for that site.»

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%»

We've got you covered

As early as a parcel boundary. You get a first-pass layout, yield and cost estimate before you've committed to land or grid work, which is when the assessment is worth the most.

Parcel geometry and exclusion areas to start. RatedPower brings its own irradiance and terrain data, and you can bring your own cost assumptions from the beginning so the economics are yours rather than defaults.

Yes: terrain-following layouts, slope constraints, exclusion areas and cut-and-fill analysis, with earthworks cost carried into CAPEX.

You design the substation and gen-tie, generate the single-line diagram and see the loss breakdown, so the interconnection cost is in the comparison rather than added later.

Standalone BESS and both DC-coupled and AC-coupled hybrids, including layout, sizing, SLD, simulations and techno-economics with arbitrage dispatch and degradation. Advanced merchant and ancillary-service strategies aren't fully automated yet.

No. Screen and decide in RatedPower, reconcile the winner in PVsyst for the bankable numbers.
