Product Description

When talking about utility-scale PV plant engineering, design time matters. It’s hard to keep the LCOE low, the ROI high, and win solar projects in a fiercely competitive market. pvDesign is the a cloud-based software which automates the study, analysis, design and engineering of PV plants. Customers report a 5% decrease in LCOE.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

We work day by day to bring the maximum value to developers, EPCists, engineers, IPPs, contractors, investors, and manufacturers, and to help them make better decisions. Our collaborative tool allows any kind of user to generate and explore a multitude of plant proposals and unravel the best ones, while providing detailed analysis for each of them.

RatedPower covers all the design phases of a PV plant, we have our own energy production model backed up by a third-party independent engineering consulting firm, and we generate hundreds of pages of tailor-made engineering documentation. All of it in less than 2 minutes.

Since RatedPower’s foundation, our product has been solidly growing and is now the leading software to speed up time to design and maximize the profitability and value of solar PV plants as it reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

What do you like best about RatedPower?

Rated power is a very efficient software for the preliminary and non-preliminary design of photovoltaic systems. It can analyze all the various design processes from simple layout to cost analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

What I don't like about rated power is the fact that you can't optimize the layout personally, this means that it's not possible to customize the project according to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RatedPower solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rated power gives a user an advantage on basic design, performance analysis and preliminary cost analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RatedPower?

One of the good thing about RatedPower is its very easy. Not engineering based person and not frequent user but it's very user freindly IX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

Cannot blame Ratedpower but for generation data, I don't know why we are supposed to use other company's data(PVxxxt). I hope we could utilize Ratedpower for generation data so we would be integration for all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RatedPower solving and how is that benefiting you?

It can simply identify how much capacity that I can expect from preliminary phase to final phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RatedPower?

What I love most about RatedPower is its ease of use and seamless imple-

mentation. The platform allows you to design quickly, saving a lot of valuable time. Additionally, the customer support team is always available and highly supportive, making the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

While RatedPower is continuously building new features, I feel they could focus more on enhancing the core PV

design and implementation within the

EPC context. Prioritizing this would make the platform even more comprehensive and valuable for users like me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RatedPower solving and how is that benefiting you?

RatedPower addresses the challenge of time-consuming preliminary solar designs, especially in the early stages of development and pre-development.

Typically, creating accurate designs requires considerable effort and time.

However, RatedPower streamlines this process by providing tools that automate and optimize layout configurati-ons, shading analysis, and energy yield estimates. This efficiency significantly reduces the time spent on preliminary designs, enabling faster project iterations and more informed decision-making early in the development phase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

A few integrations that need to be made to customize design and they are already rolling this out in parts. Which is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RatedPower?

Rated Power is approachable for all developers, not just those with engineering backgrounds. We use it often for feasibility assessments when sites are a little outside the realm of a traditional site and it is great for those that aren't quite cookie cutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

I wish it was a little less picky about shape geometry and the restricted areas/available areas and that it was easier to edit vertices in the shapes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RatedPower solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us assess risks on-site and get an estimate of how we should proceed in land acquisition to maximize design efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emilio García Sánchez of RatedPower

Thank you for sharing your experience with RatedPower. We're pleased to hear that it's beneficial for assessing risks on-site and maximizing design efficiency. We'll definitely take your feedback about shape geometry and editing vertices into account for future enhancements.

What do you like best about RatedPower?

I had the opportunity to use pvDesign in several PV projects (between 1MWp and 100 MWp). It is a very flexible and dynamic tool helping me to carry out our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

The tool is flexible but needs improvement in terms of topography, and the possibility of integration into the roofs of buildings (administrative, industrial and private) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RatedPower solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy to use, dynamic, flexible, ergonomic, and professional, a decision support tool with detailed reports and comprehensive output files. It deserves to be used by qualified engineers or technicians Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emilio García Sánchez of RatedPower

Hi Hachem!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review our software.

In case you're interested in terms of topography, we run a session talking about it. You can find the signup page in the link below.

Our tool is built for utility-scale solar project design and engineering (+1MW ground-mounted PV systems) —C&I or residential is something we don't provide support yet. I'll pass your feedback to the product team.

Thanks a lot, Hachem!
