What is System Advisor Model (SAM)?

Photovoltaic systems exhibit a broad range, from compact setups on home rooftops to large-scale utility projects that span vast areas. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems serve the purpose of electricity generation and come in different configurations, including parabolic troughs, power towers, and linear Fresnel systems. Many of these projects are supported by power purchase agreements (PPAs), which link the energy systems to the electrical grid at specified interconnection points, enabling the monetization of electricity through sales. The ownership structure of such projects can vary, with options for individual ownership or collaborative partnerships that might involve flip or leaseback agreements. In some cases, a third-party ownership model is adopted, where the solar installation is located on a customer's property, yet the ownership remains with an external developer who pays the property owner for the generated electricity, usually through a PPA or lease. This approach not only encourages the wider adoption of solar technology but also creates financial benefits for property owners willing to engage in sustainable energy practices. As a result, these diverse ownership models contribute to the overall growth and accessibility of renewable energy across different sectors.

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.
