What is SolarDesignTool?

Start by developing a preliminary design that outlines the module and inverter configuration along with the general layout. Progress this into a permit-ready design by following a simplified four-step wizard. You can define the installation site by utilizing aerial imagery or by importing a 3D model from platforms like EagleView or RoofOrders. Leveraging SolarDesignTool, you can swiftly create a photovoltaic system design and assemble a solar permit package in just 15 minutes. This permit package will include a variety of critical documents, such as a project overview, site layout, single-line diagram, PV safety labels, plans for attachments, details for support racking systems, a fire safety strategy, equipment specifications, and pertinent certifications. After finalizing the PV system design, generating the solar permit package becomes a straightforward task with the push of a button, facilitating a smooth transition to the required documentation. For a standard residential sloped rooftop using a commonly accepted racking system, the permit package will provide all necessary documents, ensuring compliance and readiness for the installation process. This efficient approach not only saves time but also enhances accuracy in the documentation, paving the way for a hassle-free installation experience.

What is RatedPower?

RatedPower, a part of Enverus, is an end-to-end software solution for the development of large-scale solar PV, BESS, and hybrid renewable projects. Designed for energy professionals, it automates and optimizes the entire workflow—from land scouting and layout design to documentation and final engineering—saving time while improving accuracy. Its geospatial tools help users evaluate buildable sites by layering data like infrastructure, energy pricing, interconnection queues, and land ownership. RatedPower streamlines early-stage decision-making with precise site selection and access to locational marginal pricing insights. In the design phase, users can import topographic data to perform terrain analysis, simulate cut-and-fill volumes, and determine optimal layout configurations. The platform generates preliminary system designs with reliable energy yield estimates, SLDs, and Gen-Tie reports compliant with international engineering standards—essential for securing permits and financing. RatedPower also supports both standalone and hybrid battery storage projects, with features for capacity optimization and feasibility assessment. During detailed design, users can run batch simulations, manually tweak parameters like pitch or DC/AC ratio, and compare results using key performance and cost metrics. Finally, the software makes collaboration easy by exporting editable drawings, reports, and 3D models that integrate with tools like PVsyst, ensuring smooth transitions across project stages. RatedPower is the comprehensive digital partner for accelerating and scaling up renewable energy development.
