Simulation and design of solar photovoltaic systems
This section provide a list of free solar thermal softwares.
Userfriendly online solar Calculation and Simulation of solar thermal systems with Oventrop solar panels.
For domestic and commercial pre-sizing.
Results: Solar Yield, Solar Fraction, Efficiency, Collector Area,
Kalkener's online solar simulation software allows calculating solar thermal water heating systems:
the sizing of its main components according to the monthly, weekly and daily hot water consumption profiles,
the solar site survey, the shading, orientation and tilt losses, the optimal position of solar collectors located on sloped roofs,
the annual solar energy production (taking in account losses) and its key profitability indicators, (IRR and NPV).
Viessman ESOP Online for Viessman collectors and systems. Online Solar
Calculation and Simulation of Solar Thermal Systems.
Results: Solar Yield, Solar Fraction, Efficiency, Collector Area,
Storage Tank Volume.
Enerpool is a program that models the performance of a solar collector when used for a swimming pool. The program allows the user to enter many different specifications, including the type of pool cover used, which months the pool will actually be used, and whether the pool is public or private, indoors or outdoors. The program then predicts the pool temperature for the months that it will be used, as well as several other features, including money saved by using a solar heating system.
