Within the newly-presented edition of the IBC solar power calculator, rooftops are able to be selected via satellite map view for the first time, and further planning can be continued based on the rooftop surface data. This way, users are able to interact with the rooftop surface, as the surface will be highlighted in a user-friendly way and modules will be able to be selected or – for example in the case of windows – deselected.
Furthermore, the alignment of the surface in a precise angle can also be included in the performance calculation. Due to the more detailed calculation options, data regarding the performance and saving potentials of the systems are also becoming significantly more precise. The illustration of data has been improved, too, with data being presented in graphs with a detailed history.
IBC Solar also presents its solar power calculator in a white label edition especially for public utilities. This way, they have the opportunity to offer their own versions of the power calculator, and integrate them within their own platforms in their chosen colours and logos.
The planning of a photovoltaic system is crucial for successful implementation and for final installation. It is essential to consider the characteristics of each rooftop from the beginning, in order to be able to correctly evaluate the efficiency and saving potentials of the system. The IBC solar power calculator supports these calculations with a simple interface. Feed-in tariffs, the development of electricity costs and calculations of self-consumption are all in put into consideration during the planning process.
The new edition is available at https://powercalculator.ibc-solar.com/ and has also been optimized for browsing on mobile devices.
