Solar roof simulation:

Independent planning and design

The user interface with a complete CAD (HottCAD) guides the user step by step through the programme. The customer can select simplified and quick design calculations or carry out complete roof planning in 3D based on a digital model. Shading calculations of the building and Meteonorm climate data are already included.

An extensive product database, updated monthly, also allows the user to make his own entries and enables a large number of interconnection combinations. For each selected combination of module and inverter, the programme determines the wiring options and presents the user with a comparison of the variants. Battery storage can be taken into account and simulated in the same system model. In addition to the profit calculation with payback period, a risk analysis with various financing and loans can be factored into the financial plan. In order to prepare an estimate, it is possible to import parts lists in common formats. (mfo)
