Does proficad support photovoltaic circuit diagrams?

ProfiCAD supports the drawing of photovoltaic circuit diagrams. In addition to the common electrical engineering symbols, the library includes symbols such as solar cells, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, inverters, etc. Should you need more symbols, you can create them in the symbol editor. Some sample drawings (click for full size):

How do I design a photovoltaic and solar hot water system?

Provide an architectural drawing and riser diagram for the homeowner showing the planned location for future photovoltaic and solar hot water system components. Space requirements and layout for photovoltaic and solar water heating system components should be taken into account early in the design process.

What is included in the PV overview?

The overview shows the most important key data of the planned PV system. This includes: With a click on configuration check you can call up more detailed information about the quality of the circuits (see Pages > Inverters > Configuration check).

Where can I find information about a PV module?

Via a click on more detailed information on the PV module used can be called up (see Databases > Components > PV modules). Via Further parameters more detailed parameters can be defined for the module areas (see Pages > PV modules > Further parameters). Here you can enter information about module degradation.

How do I access pvcad Mega If I have pvcad Mega?

Please note, that if you have PVCAD Mega, this application comes with access to PVCAD when change from “Utility” to “Standard” mode. Follow along by clicking the button on the bottom right of your screen to go to the next page or select from the Quick Guide on the left of your screen. Lets hop on in, and learn how to save time and design better.

Which CAD program should I use for distributed generation solar projects?

This is a step – by – step guide through PVCAD, the first computer-aided design (CAD) program built for distributed generation solar projects. We recommend using PVCAD for all projects <5MW and PVCAD Mega for ground mounted projects >5MWs. PVCAD Mega has enhanced topographic features and allows you achieve scale on large projects much faster.
