Applications

What you can do with SunSolve Power

With SunSolve Power you can build a highly accurate model of your solar cells and modules. You can then use this model to conduct virtual experiments.

Replace Physical Experiments

When you combine experimental data with SunSolve Power you can build a digital twin of your solar cell or module. This allows you to conduct virtual experiments and understand the impact of different parameters on performance.

Reduce Time to Market

SunSolve Power allows you to accelerate your research and development process. You can quickly understand the impact of different materials and designs on performance and make informed decisions.

Loss Analysis

The comprehensive outputs from SunSolve Power allow you to understand the impact of different losses on the performance of your solar cell or module. This can help you identify areas for improvement.

Explore Product Roadmap

The freedom provided by the SunSolve virtual experimentation platform lets you explore hypothetical cells and modules before manufacturing technology is available. This can help identify the most promising technologies to invest in.

Emerging Technology Research

SunSolve Power is used by leading research institutes and manufacturers to experiment with next generation designs and materials including tandems and perovskites.

Optimise designs for yield

SunSolve Power works hand in hand with SunSolve Yield to model the entire system from the solar cells to the system yield. You can take any design built in SunSolve Power and see how it will perform under realistic installation conditions.

Features

Quick and easy to use

SunSolve comes with templates for common cell and module designs. You can also configure your own custom designs using the intuitive interface. SunSolve is designed to be easy to use and reduce the time it takes to get started.

Extreme performance

The SunSolve engine is built for speed. It can simulate a cell in seconds and iterate through hundreds of design variations in minutes. This allows you to explore the performance of your cell or module in a fraction of the time it would take to do experiments.

Validated by hundreds of papers

SunSolve is used by leading cell and module manufacturers and is referenced in over 100 academic papers. It's simulations have been used to develop world record solar cells and modules.
