APEM Energie: precision at the service of solar energy thanks to the archelios range
Design office
360° photovoltaic expertise
Since its creation in 2008, APEM Énergie has established itself as a leading player in photovoltaics in France. As an independent design office, the company supports individuals, companies and local authorities at every stage of their solar project: from feasibility to commissioning, including technical design and administrative procedures.
With more than 75,000 cases handled since its creation, APEM Énergie has a global vision of the market and solid experience in the field. The company operates throughout France, both in project management assistance and in technical services: production studies, sizing, single-line diagrams, calculation notes, and site monitoring.
ISO 9001 and OPQIBI certified, the company has made the quality and reliability of its studies a real guarantee of confidence with its customers and partners.
archelios PRO and archelios CALC: an essential duo for designing and making studies more reliable
At the heart of APEM Énergie’s work, softwares of the archelios range play a central role. Teams use archelios PRO from the earliest stages of a project to assess the solar potential and simulate the future behavior of the installation.
” We use archelios PRO from the preliminary project, in particular to estimate the rate of self-consumption and measure the solar potential of a roof. This is our basis for the rest of the study. »
The tool makes it possible to combine load curves and production curves, offering a detailed view of the energy behaviour of the future installation. This data is used to support financial studies, facilitating decision-making and dialogue with the end customer.
In the execution phase, APEM Énergie completes its approach with archelios CALC, the electrical calculation and compliance software. ” We come back to this when we draw up the file for the works that have been carried out,” says Eva Ravier. This allows us to update the plans and calculations according to the actual conditions of implementation on the site.»
This seamless sequence between archelios PRO and CALC ensures total continuity of the project, from the initial simulation to regulatory validation. This allows engineers to guarantee their customers an optimized design that complies with current standards and is perfectly adapted to the terrain.
Concrete projects, mastered technical challenges
This complementarity between archelios PRO and CALC is verified on concrete, often complex projects, where precision and flexibility make the difference.
Optimize the storage capacity of a battery
In a recent project, a customer wanted to determine the optimal capacity of their battery to maximize their self-consumption rate. Thanks to archelios PRO, APEM Énergie was able to finely model the load and production profiles, simulating the different usage scenarios.
This approach has resulted in more precise sizing, optimized investments and a return on experience that can be used for future projects.
Anticipating the constraints of collective self-consumption
Another example: a project for collective self-consumption on a canopy. APEM Énergie had to manage a dozen different delivery points, with various consumption profiles.
” archelios PRO was particularly useful for retrieving and cross-referencing all the consumption curves,” says Eva Ravier. We were able to quickly provide the producer with an initial reliable self-consumption rate, while identifying areas for optimisation. »
These cases perfectly illustrate the operational value of the archelios range: a decision-making tool for design offices, which secures technical choices and facilitates communication with project owners.
Simplicity, precision and support: the keys to trust
If APEM Énergie has trusted the archelios range since 2009, it is also for the quality of user experience it offers on a daily basis.
“ It’s intuitive and quick to learn. The direct integration with SketchUp saves us a lot of time when 3D modeling roofs. »
Engineers also appreciate the flexibility of data exploitation : the possibility of easily taking over existing customer files, simulating batteries, or superimposing load and production curves for a clear reading of the self-consumption rate.
But beyond the software performance, Eva Ravier highlights the quality of Trace Software support. “The online help is very comprehensive, with clear and relevant answers. And when we need to talk in person, the team is always available and responsive. »
Regular exchanges between APEM Energie and the development teams promote continuous improvement of the tools.
This proximity creates a real relationship of trust: a technical and human partnership, in the service of a common objective: to make photovoltaics more efficient, more accessible and more sustainable.
Towards ever more integrated solar engineering
For APEM Energie, the future of photovoltaics is based on the synergy between human expertise and digital tools. In a context of increasingly complex projects (collective self-consumption, storage/production coupling, reinforced regulatory requirements), the archelios range appears to be an essential ally for reconciling speed, rigour and reliability.
” Thanks to archelios PRO and CALC, we can work with precision while maintaining a high level of responsiveness,” says Eva Ravier. This allows us to provide our customers with concrete, well-argued answers adapted to their needs. »
By relying on these proven tools, APEM Energie continues to strengthen its position as a trusted expert in the French solar landscape, faithful to its mission: to support each project towards smarter and more responsible energy production.
