Photovoltaic System

Renewable energy is getting cheaper every day, but a solar PV power system still requires a considerable investment, which is why it is important to ensure you know exactly how many funds are necessary and when you can expect to see any profit.

Photovoltaic System is a useful program that enables you to perform all of the necessary calculations and assess your system’s amortization over thirty years.

This application is a standalone version of the Photovoltaic System simulation model found in Startup Product Manager, a software solution for those who need a more versatile startup product calculator.

Because Photovoltaic System’s interface and functionality are largely unchanged, you can consult the online documentation available for Startup Product Manager if you run into any issues.

The application enables you to assess the costs of setting up a photovoltaic system based on the number of panels, their capacity, angle and slope, panel price, sunshine hours and network electricity.

Using these input values, Photovoltaic System calculates the installed capacity, effective capacity, installation price, network buy-in cost and feed-in profit, total cost over time, own consumption rate, Autarky grade and relative amortization over a period of thirty years.

As was mentioned previously, extensive documentation is available online, but you can also take advantage of the in-app tooltips if you need some quick explanations.

The user interface features a fairly straightforward layout, and the data input panels can be hidden at any time. An alternative light color theme is also available, but, on the whole, the application looks somewhat outdated.

In conclusion, Photovoltaic System is a reliable prediction tool for users who are interested in solar power and wish to calculate the potential costs of setting up such a system. It is not at all difficult to use, and it comes with comprehensive documentation.
