Project Introduction:
A Polish company has developed software that is an innovative way to design cost and energy efficient solar installations, and a tool for manufacturers and installers to sell. It provides intuitive applications for non-professionals to make instant online installation designs and energy production estimates.
The innovation is based on the use of sensors and AR (augmented reality) in s-martphones to reduce the burden of users entering technical data. The aim is to reduce the time needed to design and estimate the energy output of solar equipment.
The software has the following benefits:
1. Complete the accurate design of standard installation within one minute;
2. Accurate design for effective installation within one minute;
3. No professional is needed;
4. It can be measured without going up on the roof;
5. Consider trees, shadows in the form of chimneys, adjacent buildings and greenery;
6. Design more complex architectures in five minutes;
7. Use personalized passwords for instant online reporting.
The software generates PV panel positioning parameters by processing a number of variables, such as:
1. The solar energy reaching the solar module between obstacles (trees, adjacent buildings, etc.) is carried out on a daily/monthly basis, in the unit of hours, throughout the year;
2. Direct and diffuse solar energy according to Rizhao satellite data;
3. On-site obstacles that cause shading (such as surrounding green plants, other property, etc.);
4. Terrain (installed on slopes, valleys);
5. Local weather statistics and cloud coverage;
6. The quality of the building (geometry of the roof surface, building elements that cause shading, areas of the building surface with strong sunlight, parts of the shading;
7. Efficiency and optical characteristics of the solar modules used.
The software generates effective PV installation designs and detailed analysis of energy production, including:
1. Easy to understand energy production chart and performance evaluation of the entire unit.
2. Comprehensive parameters: the azimuth and inclination Angle of the photovoltaic panel considering the terrain, surrounding environment, shadow area and weather conditions.
Cooperation mode:
We plan to seek partners who are interested in this technology to jointly promote cooperation in various forms such as distribution agency and technical cooperation.
