An extensive product database, updated monthly, also allows the user to make his own entries and enables a large number of interconnection combinations. For each selected combination of module and inverter, the programme determines the wiring options and presents the user with a comparison of the variants. Battery storage can be taken into account and simulated in the same system model. In addition to the profit calculation with payback period, a risk analysis with various financing and loans can be factored into the financial plan. In order to prepare an estimate, it is possible to import parts lists in common formats. (mfo)
