Description

GeoT*SOL enables precise minute-by-minute simulation of heat pump systems, allowing for the assessment of annual performance indicators such as the coefficient of performance (COP) and the financial margins associated with their use. Additionally, these systems can be integrated with various heat generators, including gas condensing boilers and solar energy installations. Users can choose from several operational modes, including monovalent, monoenergetic, and bivalent configurations. The annual performance factor as per VDI 4650 serves as a crucial benchmark for evaluating the efficiency of different plants. This measurement is essential for many financial support programs and regulatory approvals. Furthermore, GeoT*SOL computes the system's profitability in line with the guidelines set forth by the Federal Association of the Solar Industry (BSW), comparing costs of the heat pump system against alternative systems; it also evaluates the capital value and production costs, including the heat price, along with the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) that accounts for profit as well as reinvestment opportunities. Ultimately, the tool provides a comprehensive analysis that aids users in making informed decisions regarding their heating systems.

Description

PV Designer software is an excellent choice for residential and small commercial energy systems, allowing users to effortlessly create roof outlines, set parameters for set-backs and keep-out zones, and integrate SunEye shading data at precise roof locations. With features that facilitate dragging and dropping modules, sizing strings, checking inverter capacities, and computing the AC energy output, it streamlines the design process significantly. The program is equipped with comprehensive global databases for modules, inverters, and historical weather patterns, making it a versatile tool. Users can experiment with various design options and analyze their AC kW-hr outputs side-by-side, helping to pinpoint the most efficient design. Although PV Designer is particularly suited for systems of around 15 kW, it can accommodate larger designs of up to 100 kW as well. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even those new to solar design can navigate it with ease, while still providing the in-depth analysis typically reserved for more complex engineering software. This combination of accessibility and robust functionality makes PV Designer a standout tool in the solar design landscape.
