SolarPlus Version 5 - Introduction
SolarPlus Version 5 - Off-Grid
PVsyst Alternative for Solar Design Software
SolarPlus vs PVsyst
PVsyst is a software tool commonly used in the field of photovoltaics (PV) for the simulation, analysis, and optimization of solar energy systems. It allows users to model and assess the performance of photovoltaic systems by simulating various factors such as solar irradiance, shading effects, system design parameters, and financial metrics.
With the introduction of SolarPlus Version 5, the SolarPlus Software becomes a viabile alternative to PVsyst for architects and engineers who require the power and accuracy demanded from complex Commercial and Industrial projects.
Compare PVsyst and SolarPlus features
Designing for complex solar and storage systems for commercial and industrial sized projects requires software that is powerful, accurate, fast and contains all the features that you require.
SolarPlus Version 5 introduces a performance boost that has resulted in massive speed improvement for module-level modelling and in the generation of detailed energy and financial reporting.
This means the platform now supports commercial and solar farm system design up to 20 megawatt or more (with capable computers for map processing). Even laptops can be used for C&I solar & storage designs up to 3MW with performance modelling run in around 15 seconds.
When this improved performance is combined with the other features of SolarPlus including a built in CRM, complete battery system design, built-in compliance guidelines, flexible high-res mapping options, 3D visualisations and proposal templates that are 100% customisable, it’s clear that SolarPlus is now the first choice for designers of commercial solar and battery systems.
