Running your first simulation in SunSolve Yield
This video walks you through the steps to create and run your first yield simulation
Optimising System Structure
With SunSolve you can compare different mounting options in detail to maximise annual yield or find the perfect balance between cost and performance.
Comparing system structures
You can use SunSolve to help in cost-benefit analysis of various mounting structures. Some examples of possible optimisations include:Optimising tilt for fixed systems
Comparing tracking algorithms
Reducing mismatch losses
Comparing system orientations
Optimising rear illumination
Minimising shading
Supports a wide variety of system types
1P and 2P trackers including drive systems and other structure
Fixed systems in landscape and portrait
Complex mounting structures with different materials
East-west tented systems
Vertical systems
Floating systems
Arbitrary through CAD import
Arbitrary through API (eg. vehicle integrated)
SunSolve
The only simulation environment that models the physics from solar cell right through to annual yield.
