Design and analysis tools
Upon registration, we offer free access to comprehensive project design tools to analyse the viability of solar panels for your school. Costs, savings and energy production are automatically estimated based on your input. Besides the initial project assessment, our tools are ideal to be used as teaching materials, too.
Once the solar panels are installed, students and project managers can monitor the solar panels here on our website as well. Energy production, consumption, export, etc. are displayed on easy to use graphs.
