02/06/2014 – Trace Software, software publisher of Solar Calc™ and Cythelia, software publisher of Archelios™, announce their collaboration in the domain of design and calculation of photovoltaic installations for the international market.

The new match, issuing from the two companies; offers to the market a unique solution that enables working on an entire photovoltaic project. For engineering service providers, project developers and installers, it is an important step forward in improving productivity.

The software Archelios™ helps handle the complete simulation of a photovoltaic installation, from the solar irradiation to the generation capacity calculations. The 3D integration in SketchUp helps in solar panel layout plans and takes precisely into account the non-shadowing pitch. This software has the most accurate forecast of the solar power generation capacity (according to a survey by PHOTON international magazine and International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering ). Archelios evolves into an online version which will be commercialised in the 2nd quarter of 2014.

Solar Calc™ is the French market leader in electrical sizing of photovoltaic installations connected to the public power supply grid according to the UTE C15-712-1 standard. It covers the organisation of solar panels, cable section and length calculations taking into account the environmental characteristics and the cable laying method, the choice of inverters, the choice of surge arresters, as well as the protection sizing and the connection to the distribution network.

The first step of the collaboration, is a module that will make it possible, to open an Archelios project in Solar Calc, wherein avoiding costly re-entering of installation data and optimal streamlining of the design work process. The two software publishers work together from now on an integrated solution that fits the demands of the international market for the grid-connected and isolated installations.

Alain Ricaud« When we wanted to integrate the electrical design according to the norms, in ARCHELIOS, we were faced with the high complexity of task ahead. The collaboration with Trace Software soon became inevitable. », indicates Alain Ricaud, CEO of Cythelia.

 

 

Etienne Mullie« To develop our Solar Calc product profile, our clients asked us to integrate the simulation of solar panel layouts to calculate the production capacity. The synergy with Cythelia, with its strong and well-known expertise, seemed to us the most pertinent and rapid solution », specifies Etienne Mullie, CEO of Trace Software.
