From the photovoltaic installation to the charging station, design and size your entire electrical project in a single environment.
From the photovoltaic installation to the charging station, design and size your entire electrical project in a single environment.
A unified approach to photovoltaic sizing
The design of a photovoltaic installation involves dimensioning both the DC module chains, the inverter and its integration into the electrical installation. These steps are still often carried out with separate tools, generating re-entry, inconsistencies and waste of time.
elec calc SOLAR offers a unified approach: the photovoltaic system is integrated directly into the electrical installation, within a single environment. Developed from the elec calc range, the software ensures continuity from DC sizing to alternating current uses, in accordance with the international standards BS, NEN, NIBT, AREI, VDE, REBT, NF and IEC 60364-7-712.
elec calc SOLAR thus makes it possible to design photovoltaics within the same project as a complete and seamless electrical installation.
Depending on the needs of the project, the study can also be extended to the HV network, offering a global vision of the electrical dimensioning, thanks to the SOLAR module :

Already a user of elec calc?
If you are already using elec calc, you can simply add the SOLAR module to integrate the sizing of photovoltaic installations into your projects.
By combining the SOLAR module with elec calc (HV/LV, BIM or GRID), you can extend the sizing of your photovoltaic power plants up to HVA.
Thus, model and size all HV substations in accordance with IEC 61936-1 and IEC 60909.
Standards
elec calc SOLAR enables complete DC-side design with automatic compliance checks according to IEC 60364-7-712, then continues the study on the AC side through to the connection point (low voltage network, medium voltage connection or HV/LV substation) in compliance with IEC 60364.
