February 2015Trace Software International, electrical installation CAD and calculation software editor, reinforces its presence in photovoltaics sector with its announcement of the acquisition of Archelios software from the company Cythelia. Archelios is sizing software that enables the production forecast of solar installations.

This acquisition comes after a partnership with Cythelia started in early 2014, which led to the establishment of a link between Archelios and Solar Calc, the calculation and electrical design of a PV system software from Trace Software.

Trace Software is now able to offer the market a unique solution for working with an entire photovoltaic project from the feasibility study to the generating plant’s calculation notes and documentation necessary for its construction. The Archelios Suite deals with photovoltaic installations of all types: grid connected, self-consumption and remote sites.

For engineering offices, developers and installers, this is an important step: firstly, enabling significant productivity gains and secondly, working on common data from the technical and economic feasibility studies; required for the implementation of various steps of project engineering.

Trace Software, committed to new design software for the renewable energy and smart grids, plans to deploy its solar solutions in the international market through its subsidiaries and distributors, particularly in China, Middle East and America.

The Archelios ™ software allows for complete on-line simulation of a photovoltaic system, from solar radiation to the energy yield. The integration of 3D modeling in SketchUp allows an assistance for the layout plan and a precise calculation of close masks. This is the most accurate software in the world for the producible forecast (according to the well-known review PHOTON and the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering).

Solar Calc ™ software (Archelios Calc) is the French leader in electrical design of photovoltaic installations connected to the grid according to the UTE C15-712-1 guide. It covers the organization of the modules, the calculation of cable sections depending on the installation methods with predetermined cable lengths, the choice of inverters, the definition and selection of arresters, and choice of protections and the parameters to take into consideration for PV installation’s connection to the distribution network.

About Cythelia:
Cythelia is an engineering office and research center created in 1994 by Alain Ricaud, specializing in smart energies, from renewable energy to energy efficiency, through the smart grid development. Cythelia develops and markets Archelios since 2006 and Abatia, the thermal building software since 2012. Cythelia is a leading player in the world of photovoltaics and renewable energies.
