PV-Planer
PV Planner is a versatile tool for the rapid and precise design of photovoltaic systems. It allows both simple yield estimation and comprehensive economic analysis. Planning is carried out with the integrated HottCAD directly on the 3D building model, including roof measurements, module layout, and wiring plan. An integrated shading simulation aids in optimal module placement, while electric mobility can also be included in the planning. PV Planner provides an editable database for modules, inverters, and battery storage, including a filter function. Economic calculations are performed according to VDI 2076, including risk analysis and flexible financing options. Load profiles can be imported via CSV files. Based on location-specific weather data, PV yield is simulated on an hourly basis. Yield calculation according to DIN V 18599-9 provides a solid foundation for technical and economic decisions.
