PV String Sizing Calculator
Check a string design against the inverter before you quote it.
Checks every MPPT input for maximum voltage, MPPT window, start-up voltage and current, at the site's coldest and hottest temperatures.
Shows every string length that fits, with a clear pass or fail on each check.
Save the modules and inverters you use most, ready for the next job.
Solar design tool
Roof Panel Fit Planner
How many panels fit on each roof face, with a scaled drawing for the quote.
Rectangle, trapezoid and triangle (hip end) roof faces, up to eight per job.
Tries portrait and landscape, picks the layout that fits more, and works around vents and skylights.
Click panels off for shading or access, then download the drawing as a PNG or SVG.

Voltage Drop and Cable Size Helper
Check every cable run in a solar and battery system.
PV strings, battery cables and the inverter's AC connection: DC, single-phase or three-phase.
Gives the drop in volts and percent, the power lost, the longest run that meets your target, and the smallest cable that would.
Adds up runs in series to check the total voltage rise to the point of supply.
Commercial solar tool
Commercial Solar Savings from Interval Data
See what solar would have done for a business, using its own meter data.
Load the site's NEM12 file from the distributor or retailer, and compare up to ten system sizes.
Works out self-consumption, export, demand charge savings, STCs and payback for each size.
Handles peak, shoulder and off-peak tariffs, demand charges and export limits.
These tools are design aids for qualified designers and installers. You remain responsible for checking each design against the current Australian standards, the manufacturers' instructions and network requirements. Each licence covers use within one business.
