Web-based PV design software. Quickly design solar systems, simulate their efficiency.
Find answers to your questions about HelioScope, the web-based solar design software. Learn how to use its features and optimize your projects.
This will give you a good overview of how designs flow through HelioScope. We've broken them up based on the type of design application (residential vs. commercial) and we've included a full training video if you want to dive into a more detailed training.
Racking: set to Flush Mount to design a tilted residential roof. Azimuth: right-click the midpoint on the top or bottom edge of the roof to set it automatically to align with the edge of the roof. Tilt: Enter the tilt of the roof. Setbacks: Use linear Keepouts for ridgeline setbacks.
HelioScope makes it easy for non-experts to generate high-quality layouts for commercial PV arrays. For designers new to commercial system design, we have prepared guidelines for designing commercial solar arrays based on typical design approaches:
The approach described in this guide is the exact math used in HelioScope. The Modeling 101 Guide describes the high-level relationships between the drivers of system performance modeling. For a more quantitative view of the exact equations, see the Mathematical Formulation available in HelioScope.
Oct 15, 2016 · We've just added 3D design capabilities to HelioScope, making it easy to visualize designs and understand how objects in your array will interact. Additionally, the 3D mode is actually a redesign of our designer, meaning that it will operate faster than the traditional 2D mode.
To create a Project: 1. After logging in to HelioScope click New Project. 2. Enter the Project name. 3. Enter the Project address...
HelioScope assigns 180 degrees for South facing Azimuth, while PVsyst is 0 deg. The model outputs are not guaranteed to always be aligned, so there are troubleshooting steps that can be taken to align the outputs:
