SolarPlanner: Innovative solutions for optimum results

What is the SolarPlanner?

SolarPlanner is a holistic optimization tool that combines the entire engineering process with technical and economic considerations in a single software package.

The SolarPlanner enables efficient and accelerated planning of ground-mounted systems:

• Automated creation of CAD drawings and detailed site plans.

• Comparison of different marketing strategies including arbitrage – the targeted exploitation of price differences – on the electricity exchange or through PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements), which can also include the latest battery storage systems.

• An extensive database with technical and economic variables.

• Detailed simulation options: Allows simulation of numerous design options and their economic viability, as well as simulation of electricity production based on real weather data.

• Optimized decision-making: Graphical representation of solution spectra to support well-founded decisions.

• Time and cost savings: The planning effort is drastically reduced, which saves time and cuts costs.

Cooperation with Fraunhofer ITWM

Thanks to the close cooperation with the Fraunhofer ITWM, the latest scientific findings are incorporated into the development process. This enables realistic scenario planning and the integration of innovations such as agri-PV and battery storage solutions.
