Description

Begin by crafting an initial design that details the module and inverter setup alongside the overall layout. Transition this to a permit-ready design by utilizing a streamlined 4-step wizard. Define the installation area through the use of aerial images or by importing a 3D model from services such as EagleView or RoofOrders. With the aid of SolarDesignTool, you can efficiently develop a photovoltaic system design and produce a solar permit package in merely 15 minutes. This permit package will encompass various essential documents, including a project summary, site plan, single-line diagram, PV safety labels, plan(s) for attachments, specifics for support racking systems, a fire safety plan, equipment specifications, and relevant certifications. Once the PV system design is finalized, generating the solar permit package can be accomplished with just a click of a button, allowing for a seamless transition to the necessary documentation process. For a standard residential sloped rooftop employing a widely-used racking system, the permit package will contain all the aforementioned documents, ensuring compliance and readiness for installation.

Description

An accurate assessment of solar energy potential is essential during the pre-feasibility stage of a project. In addition to needing reliable results, it is also important for the pre-feasibility analysis to be conducted efficiently. Tools like Solargis's iMaps and pvPlanner enable quick access to dependable solar yield estimates. The latest Prospect tool enhances the precision of these estimates and facilitates smoother collaboration during the solar project development process. Among the various solar databases, Solargis data is recognized for its superior accuracy and reliability, as supported by multiple independent studies. This data has been validated across more than 1000 locations worldwide, with validation statistics for over 180 non-confidential sites available on the validation map. While popular simulation software such as PVsyst offers sophisticated functionalities for system design and energy modeling, it is important to note that the default weather data provided in these tools may lack reliability. Therefore, utilizing validated solar data is key to optimizing project outcomes.
