The design and simulation software for photovoltaic systems – with 3D visualization and detailed shading analysis.
With PV*SOL premium, the industry standard for photovoltaic design software, you can design and simulate all types of modern PV systems. From small rooftop systems with to medium-sized systems on commercial roofs to solar parks - PV*SOL premium supports you with numerous tools for design and simulation.
The unique 3D visualization is the highlight of PV*SOL premium. You can visualize all common types of systems in 3D, whether roof-integrated or roof-mounted, whether on small angled roofs, large industrial halls or open spaces - with up to 7,500 mounted modules or up to 10,000 roof-parallel modules - and calculate the shading based on 3D objects. With the realistic shading from surrounding objects, you can achieve the highest reliability for your yield forecast.
All other design types from PV*SOL are of course also available in PV*SOL premium. Whether calculating self-consumption, designing battery storage or integrating electric vehicles - with PV*SOL premium you can implement all customer wishes in no time at all.
Our extensive product database includes over 26,000 PV modules, 7,500 inverters, 5,500 battery systems and many other products such as electric vehicles and performance optimizers. It is updated regularly by the product manufacturers themselves, so you can always work with the latest data.
You can generate high-quality project reports for your customers that can be edited as required. Circuit diagrams with the necessary safety devices can also be created, e.g. for submission to the relevant authorities.
The current feed-in tariffs are available in our database for the calculation of economic efficiency. By adding the information to the system costs, you will receive a detailed economic analysis of the system over 20 years. This allows you to create an initial offer in just a few minutes.
PV*SOL premium is available in German 🇩🇪, English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸, French 🇫🇷, Italian 🇮🇹, Polish 🇵🇱, Czech 🇨🇿, Portuguese 🇵🇹 and Turkish 🇹🇷. And with project reports available in 23 languages, language barriers are a thing of the past.
Our technical support team and our help pages offer you assistance with your questions. In our forum you can address more complex questions to our team and other PV*SOL premium users.
The following new features and changes are included:
When using the planning feature with the Google Solar API, there is now greater coverage in Latin America.
If no power clipping is set at the feed-in point, it is no longer displayed in the results table.
Improved import of *.pan files regarding the incident angle modifier and low-light behavior.
When using an electric vehicle, discharging to cover consumption can be disabled.
Revised arrangement of the elements in the schematic legend.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Battery discharge from DC storage systems into the grid during nighttime hours is now correctly displayed on the results page.
When combining a heat pump and an inverter with or without DC-coupled battery systems, grid feed-in was sometimes too high.
The program crashed when switching to the page Financial Analysis if multiple consumption tariffs were present and the system was then switched to full grid feed-in.
If the directory for the ConsumptionDB did not exist when the program was started, the program would not launch. The program now attempts to create the directory. If this fails, an error message appears and the program does not start.
Exporting the parts list did not work.
Results per module area: PV generator energy, system efficiency, and specific annual yield were sometimes zero after loading a project file.
Circuit symbol templates could no longer be sorted by “Name.”
Changing the options of the circuit diagram was not possible.
Partially crashes when a project with existing results was loaded, the number of tariffs was changed, and the results page was opened.
Electric Vehicles database dialog: Discharge power was in the wrong place.
Not all information was displayed in the circuit diagram in the project report.
The page orientation of the circuit diagram was not saved.
