About

Standalone Photovoltaic system design and analysis tool. Hourly simulation, uses hourly climate files (239 U.S. locations included). Sandia Labs PV Model. Enhanced version of PV-DesignPro-S developed in cooperation with Sandia National Labs Photovoltaic Systems Department. PV-DesignPro v6.0 is a suite of Windows 95, 98, NT, Win2000, and Vista compatible software designed to simulate photovoltaic energy system operation on an hourly basis for one year, based on a user-selected climate and system design. Three versions of the PV-DesignPro program are included on the Solar Design Studio CD-ROM: "PV-DesignPro-S" for standalone systems with battery storage, "PV-DesignPro-G" for grid-connected systems with no battery storage, and "PV-DesignPro-P" for water pumping systems. Below is a screenshot of the "S" version of PV-DesignPro. The purpose of the programs are to aid in photovoltaic system design by providing accurate and in-depth information on likely system power output.

About

Accurate estimation of solar energy potential is crucial in the pre-feasibility phase. Besides accurate results, it is also desired that the pre-feasibility study is done efficiently. Solargis prospecting tools, iMaps and pvPlanner, provide fast access to reliable solar yield estimates. The new Prospect tool further increases the accuracy of estimates and makes it easier to collaborate efficiently on the development of solar projects. Solargis data has the best accuracy and reliability amongst available solar databases. This has been confirmed by several independent studies. Solargis data has been validated at 1000+ locations globally. Validation statistics for 180+ non-confidential sites can be seen on our validation map. Popular simulation software such as PVsyst has advanced capabilities for system design and energy modeling. However, the default weather data in such tools is not the most reliable.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It gives real-time data and is easy to do simulation. Solargis is the perfect online simulation software which I could recommend.

Cons

  • It is not easy at first but with a help of a webinar, it would make it much easier. I would recommend more training and simulation to be made available for self-teaching.
