About

For solar designers who want the highest standard of precision and accuracy. PVCAD delivers unparalleled efficiency so you can finalize designs and quote jobs faster. Selecting design criteria from PVCAD’s integrated databases not only saves time but reduces the risk of costly errors and omissions. We are constantly growing our database of thousands of different inverters, modules, and racking partners. Users can also add their own equipment using the database button in the PVCAD ribbon. Would you like to have your equipment added to our database? PVCAD uses production modeling powered by PVWATTS created by NREL. Accurate 8760 data gives hour-by-hour production data over the course of the entire year. We use the most up-to-date weather data available with global coverage provided by Meteonorm. Lastly, modeling in AutoCAD allows for the most precise system measurements available with any drafting software. With valuable resources at arm’s reach, designers can achieve expert results.

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.
