BlueSol is a software product that allows you to create the design of
the following types of photovoltaic systems:
Systems connected to the grid with or without energy storage on
batteries in DC area or in a AC area.
Systems standalone with energy storage on batteries in DC area or in
a AC area.
This program helps the designer in all phases of project development,
from the simulation of energy production to the production of
documentation. Allows you to simulate the energy production of a PV
system, and perform the economic analysis on the return on
investment. Also checks the compatibility of connections
string-inverter and generates the documentation of the project. In
addition it incorporates a 2D/3D CAD engine that allows the insertion
of system layout and generation of the electrical scheme. It also
allows the dimensioning of the electrical components and cables.
BlueSol handles the following aspects of design:
Locations and irradiations:
Defines the location and the irradiations, read from the database or
specified by the user. It estimates the losses for far shadings being
able detect the horizon line also from digital photos, and for near
shadings recognized in Layout by the
presence of obstacles next to the system.
System: Represents the scheme of the PV
system and simulates its behavior by calculating the energy produced.
In addition, the program sizes the grid of photovoltaic field
checking the compatibility of the coupling between strings and inverters.
Layout: Allows you to enter the planimetry
and the components that make up the system, to do this you are
working on a map accessed directly from Internet. The modules and
other PV system components are included in the planimetry in assisted
mode using the program's tools and can then be modified and exported
in DWG format.
In addition, the layout can be displayed in a 3D view that presents
the arrangement of all elements of the system. In this 3D view are
also displayed the shadows of obstacles close to the system and the
distribution of irradiations on the areas of the PV system.
Electrical scheme: The
single-line scheme is generated automatically based on the layout of
the system and the electrical components. The design obtained can
then be modified using the CAD functionality and exported in DWG format.
Electrical components:
specifies the electrical components used in the electric panels DC
and AC system. The program performs the electrical verification of
all components and manages the storage in the archive of the models
used most frequently.
Economic analysis: Provides the
tools to analyze the convenience of the realization of the
photovoltaic system, evaluating costs of realization and management
and simulating the profitability during the period of observation.
The program then produces graphs and summary tables exportable in xls format.
Energy consumption: Evaluates
consumption and self-consumption of the user connected to the PV
system. The program provides the tools to define the power
consumption of individual electrical devices with which to create a
database of reusable information. The combination of the consumption
of the devices realizes a consumption profile that identifies the
energy consumption of a user.
Print documentation:
Creates and prints the project documentation, the program provides
the templates for the technical and economic report. But also
provides to user all the tools to create new custom reports.
