It is a time conserving app and the parameters you input is very easy to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The generation of roads are my least favorite about RatedPower, it doesn't allow you to delete/edit road lengths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the company, we adopted RatedPower for the design and preliminary study of ground-mounted photovoltaic plants and immediately fell in love with it. Everyone appreciates the ease of use and the speed with which the plant can be sized in an intuitive and well-made graphical interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To make the tool perfect and usable even in the final design phase, it is necessary to have greater flexibility in the design of the plant layout and in the choice of structures and their respective strings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Evaluating the potential capacity of new PV sites is extremely quick and easy. The documentation packs for layout drawings, kmz files, BoQ, design and yield reports are easy to customize. Viewing the generated kmz files in Google Earth is very helpful and using the 3D shading scene in PVSyst increases confidence in yield assessments. Excellent integreation!
We use the software almost evry single day and the support team always responds very quickly and are always ready to help.
Implementing changes at any stage of the project is also quick and easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the grid/overhead line design specifications do not follow South African grid codes, so these required some additional work to be compliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. not a plug in to a different sofware or CAD platform/SW
2. multi-user licence
3. Local language training available
4. in person training available
.... it works and we don't have to work to fix the outcome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. expensive
2. not fully operation for HV designs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I liked the most is the reliability and accuracy of its results, the different proposals or scenarios as options for proposal analysis, the ability to connect with different platforms or meteorological databases specific to the site, the flexibility to use different equipment models and to add those proposed by our suppliers for the analysis of our design proposals, the inclusion and improvement of energy storage system analysis integrated into the solar plant, knowing that your suggestions are heard and addressed as well as applied in the continuous improvement of the software; something important in addition to the above is the constant support and advice received, the ease of use and application and implementation; as well as its easy integration with external databases like SolarGis and PvSyst and other platforms related to this type of systems, these are some of the many benefits of having used RatedPower (pvDesign).

The only drawback, but not limiting, is having to limit the analysis to projects larger than 1MW, as we have had to use a second tool for projects with a smaller capacity than this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software’s automation saves significant time, quickly generating accurate designs with multiple configurations to support informed decision-making. Its cloud-based setup enhances team collaboration, making it easy to share updates seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software could benefit from more integration options with other tools, as well as additional customization features to meet specific project needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All the useful things are at the right place. It allows a workflow speed-up in comparison to other similar SW. The support team has been very effective during calls and demos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some parts of BESS stand-alone would be improved or fixed, but we know they're working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The value that RatedPower offers is the ability to do the layout development as well as the layout within one software. RatedPower allows user to undertake EYA for a land with a more complex terrain, also allows for integration with another software such as ArcGIS.
It ia also user-friendly, especially for beginners who are just starting modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The limitations in modelling losses to the level that PVSyst offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
