What is PV Designer?

PV Designer software stands out as an ideal solution for residential and smaller commercial energy systems, enabling users to easily outline roofs, configure set-back and keep-out zones, and incorporate SunEye shading data accurately on rooftops. Its intuitive features allow for simple dragging and dropping of modules, string sizing, inverter capacity checks, and AC energy output calculations, greatly enhancing the design workflow. The application comes with extensive global databases that include information on modules, inverters, and historical weather trends, positioning it as a flexible resource. Users can test different design scenarios and compare their AC kW-hr outputs side by side, facilitating the identification of the most effective design. While particularly designed for systems around 15 kW, it is also capable of handling larger projects up to 100 kW. The software's intuitive interface makes it accessible for beginners in solar design, while still offering the detailed analysis typically found in more advanced engineering applications. This fusion of ease of use and powerful capabilities establishes PV Designer as a remarkable asset in the field of solar design, appealing to both novices and experienced professionals alike. Furthermore, the ability to simulate real-world conditions enhances the decision-making process, making it an invaluable tool for optimizing solar energy systems.
