KSTAR: securing photovoltaic projects with reliable studies with archelios PRO
Manufacturer
When the precision of studies becomes a lever of confidence for solar projects
In a fast-growing photovoltaic market, the quality of technical studies plays a decisive role in the success of projects. Installers, developers and design offices must be able to rely on reliable, understandable and quickly usable simulations to support their customers in their investment decisions.
As a recognized manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters and storage solutions, KSTAR has made this requirement for reliability a central element of its field support. To structure its technical proposals and support its partners, the company has been relying for several years on archelios PRO, the photovoltaic sizing solution developed by Trace Software.
A collaboration that now makes it possible to secure projects, accelerate sales cycles and strengthen the credibility of the solutions offered on the market.
KSTAR: historical expertise at the service of energy performance
As a long-standing player in power electronics, KSTAR has more than thirty years of experience in the development of energy technologies. The company has gradually established itself as a major manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters, now recognized as a Tier One manufacturer, capable of meeting the needs of developers, installers and distributors in the solar sector.
Over the years, KSTAR has expanded its offering to support the market’s shift towards increasingly integrated energy systems. Thanks to its partnership with CATL, the world leader in lithium batteries, KSTAR now offers a complete range of photovoltaic inverters and storage solutions, suitable for all types of projects, from residential to tertiary and industrial.
In this context, the ability to demonstrate the real performance of the solutions offered becomes a key factor in supporting market players and securing investment decisions.
The technical study: a decisive moment in the construction of a solar project
In the early stages of a photovoltaic project, installers and developers often have to answer several questions: optimal sizing of the installation, production potential, impact on the energy bill or the relevance of integrating a storage solution.
To meet these challenges, KSTAR relies on archelios PRO, a solution recognized in France for the sizing of photovoltaic power plants.
The choice of this tool was a natural one for the company.
Realistic simulations to build solid proposals
At KSTAR, archelios PRO is used from the very first stages of a project. The objective is not only to size an installation, but to start from the real uses of the site to build a coherent, concrete and immediately usable proposal.
This approach makes it possible to move quickly from an intention to a structured study, anchored in the energy reality of the building.
Baptiste PIERI explains: “From the PDL number transmitted by the customer, we can access their actual consumption profile via Enedis data and carry out a personalised simulation. This allows us to offer a study that is faithful to reality, integrating photovoltaic production and storage when relevant. »
The richness of the equipment library integrated into archelios PRO also plays a key role. Photovoltaic panels, inverters and batteries are referenced in the tool, with regularly updated technical data.
KSTAR references are thus directly accessible there, allowing users to design projects integrating the manufacturer’s solutions in a coherent technical environment.
This precision helps to strengthen the readability of the studies presented to customers and to secure technical choices.
Making projects understandable to speed up the decision
Beyond the purely technical dimension, the simulations carried out with archelios PRO are also a pedagogical and decision-making tool.
“The simulation results allow customers to visualize the real impact of the solutions on reducing their energy bills and to accurately assess the profitability of the project,” explains Baptiste PIERI.
For installers and developers, these elements become a real support for dialogue with end customers.
This ability to make projects more readable reinforces confidence in the proposed solutions and facilitates decision-making.
In a market where decision times can sometimes slow down projects, having a clear, well-argued and easily understandable study is a real competitive advantage.
For KSTAR and its partners, this approach directly contributes to accelerating sales cycles and differentiating itself from the competition.
Reliable product data thanks to integration via ONFAB
Thanks to this integration, installers and design offices have direct access to the latest product references marketed in France.
The simulations carried out in archelios PRO are therefore based on up-to-date manufacturer data, which reinforces the reliability of the studies and limits the risk of errors during the design of projects.
Enhanced credibility with installers and design offices
Being directly integrated into design tools such as archelios PRO, used by design offices and installers, allows KSTAR to simplify the integration of its solutions into projects, while guaranteeing a high level of reliability of technical data.
A presence that reinforces both the consistency of the studies and the visibility of the brand from the design phases.
As Baptiste PIERI points out: “Integration via ONFAB allows us to ensure a very precise follow-up of manufacturer data and to quickly update references. The simulations are therefore based on reliable and up-to-date data. »
For users, it also means being able to design their projects with confidence, with the assurance that the equipment selected corresponds to the latest technical specifications available.
This is an essential element to secure studies and guarantee the coherence of projects in the field.
A collaboration built over time
Beyond the use of the tool, the collaboration between KSTAR and Trace Software is based on regular exchanges and a common desire to improve the user experience.
Interactions between teams make it possible to develop product libraries, integrate new references and guarantee the quality of the technical data available in archelios PRO.
These interactions also continue at professional events such as Energaïa, where the two companies share their vision of the evolution of the photovoltaic market and the tools needed to support its growth.
Towards ever more reliable and efficient solar projects
As the energy transition accelerates the deployment of photovoltaic installations, the quality of technical studies is becoming a determining factor in securing investments and guaranteeing project performance.
By relying on archelios PRO to support its partners, KSTAR reinforces the reliability of the studies carried out, facilitates the understanding of the projects by end customers and contributes to accelerating the implementation of the installations.
The direct integration of its product references via ONFAB guarantees the accuracy of the data used in simulations and offers installers and design offices immediate access to the manufacturer’s latest innovations.
This approach illustrates the importance of close collaboration between manufacturers of energy solutions and specialized software publishers to support the growth of photovoltaics and structure the projects of tomorrow.
