About

Quickly complete site capacity layouts for utility-scale projects of any size using click-and-drag control and place tracker blocks at any angle within the project site. Perform more accurate site assessments in less time by analyzing all piers, verifying that trackers can be deployed to specification. Eliminate guesswork and see how modifying structural and electrical components affect system design and performance estimates. Generate automatic pier plans with pier locations, corresponding surface altitude, and top-of-pile reports for leading tracker systems, including Nextracker and Array Technologies. Automatically generate a PVSyst shade scene (.SHD) file. Also generates a project file (.PRJ) and meteo file (.MET). Open the files in PVSyst to model the energy yield including topography effects. Easily export your design to PVSyst for bankable energy yield modelling.

About

Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftops to large utility-scale systems. Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel. Power purchase agreement (PPA) projects where the system is connected to the grid at an interconnection point, and the project earns revenue through power sales. The project may be owned and operated by a single owner or by a partnership involving a flip or leaseback arrangement. Third-party ownership is where the system is installed on the customer's (host) property and owned by a separate entity (developer), and the host is compensated for power generated by the system through either a PPA or lease agreement.
