More and more homeowners are planning a larger solar installation. This is because they want to charge the solar power into the batteries of their electric vehicles.
Installers and project developers can now plan large ground-mounted systems more easily than before. Even PV plants with an output of up to one megawatt can be visualized including all parameters and in 3D.
The Spanish solar software provider Rated Power has introduced the tool pvDesign 3.0. With the cloud-based solution, ground-mounted solar power plants can be automatically planned, designed and optimised within a few minutes.
The new planning guide for installers from SMA explains what needs to be considered for older installations. It supports installers in planning systems older than 20 years.
SMA and its partners are investigating the potential of machine learning and artificial intelligence to further increase efficiency and reliability of PV and storage systems as part of the Digital Twin Solar research project.
