Caneco Solar - Automated cost-effective design of an LV Photovoltaic installation-1

Caneco Solar is the ALPI design software for photovoltaic It provides an economical, reliable and secure installation design for the DC and AC parts of your PV project. Caneco Solar generates all the diagrams and documents required for the design, installation and checking of the system. Automated cost-effective design of an Problem-free photovoltaic generator design ► Design the PV generator to ensure full compatibility between the ► Design with flexibility. You can enter your data in various ways: as a function of panel surface area, the power of the installation, the number of PV modules, or by previously selecting the inverter. ► Let the software propose the best combination of module strings and check that the systems are mutually compatible. ► Take into account the current and voltage compatibility ranges, if necessary for each inverter MPP tracker, etc. ► Quickly compare the various possible solutions. ► Let Caneco Solar automatically propose the best DC wiring design. The software will take into account the number of inputs from each inverter MPP tracker and your own parameters (maximum number of strings per junction box). ► Enter string cable lengths and sections into a spread sheet very quickly, as a function of modifiable design requirements. ► Then let Caneco Solar compute the sections itself, as a function of maximum acceptable current values. Sections can then be increased if necessary, until the required voltage drop is obtained. Check compliance Caneco Solar sizes protection systems (circuit breaker, fuse, lightning conductor) and pipe systems complying with PV standards recommendations, and generates compliance documents. Generate the documents necessary for: (1) Function available soon
