Our solar panel layout tool and PV design software make it easy for you to plan and optimize your solar panel installation. With advanced features and a user-friendly interface, you can confidently design a system that meets your energy
Our very own calculator for working out roof layouts, solar panel numbers and system sizing. Low tech, but hopefully useful, quick and worthy of being on the list. This calculator will help you to quickly work out how many large (60 cell)
ProfiCAD supports the drawing of photovoltaic circuit diagrams. In addition to the common electrical engineering symbols, the library includes symbols such as solar cells, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, inverters, etc. Should you need more symbols, you can create them in the symbol editor. Some sample drawings (click for full size):
A photovoltaic system design and installation requires good coordination between various stakeholders (client, designer, installer, etc.) and it is of fundamental importance. In fact, designers, technical experts and suppliers must be aligned while communicating and cooperating in an effective manner.
Provide an architectural drawing and riser diagram for the homeowner showing the planned location for future photovoltaic and solar hot water system components. Space requirements and layout for photovoltaic and solar water heating system components should be taken into account early in the design process.
You can define different installation surfaces on the 3D BIM model (roof, canopy, flat roof, ground, etc.) where to install more photovoltaic fields. Simply click on the object surface where to place modules and automatically data of the areas where to design the photovoltaic field will be defined.
Placing 2D polygons together with height dimensions will result into an extruded 3D model. Experienced CAD designers or 3rd party design studios can use these generated 3D models in your project as well. Generate optimized 3D module layouts to maximize the number of solar panels in your projects.
The solar pv software solution is the first of this kind that will allow users to interact with the BIM management workflow in terms of import and export of a model in IFC format. With Solarius PV the photovoltaic system design meets the proccess of BIM modelling. In fact, this new software version is a proper BIM tool that allows you:
