The design and simulation software for photovoltaic systems
Grade: D — Score: 35/100
PV*SOL is a design and simulation program for photovoltaic systems that supports small rooftop systems, commercial roofs, and solar parks with up to 100,000 modules. It includes tools for self-consumption calculation, battery storage design, electric vehicle integration, bifacial module calculation, and detailed performance simulation.
The workflow includes access to an extensive product database with over 21,000 PV modules, 5,100 inverters, 1,900 battery systems, and other products. Users can create high-quality project reports, circuit diagrams with safety devices, and detailed economic analyses, and can also use PhotoPlan or a graphic 2D planning tool for system design.
No specific risks are stated on the page. The page does note system requirements, a trial version, and support resources, but it does not provide any stated limitations beyond the named user license and the need to check whether the program runs on the user's computer.
