    Solar Design for a Changing World

    Investing in solar energy is a smart move for organisations looking to reduce energy costs, lower carbon emissions, improve sustainability credentials and become less reliant on the electrical grid. But to get the most from your solar installation, you need accurate, site-specific modelling that reflects real-world conditions.
     
    Arthian use PV*SOL Design Software to produce use advanced simulation software to model solar PV system performance. This allows us to optimise layout and accurately forecast energy generation and financial returns. Whether you’re planning a rooftop array or a ground-mounted system, our independent designs are tailored to your site, energy profile, and strategic goals.

    What Is PV*SOL?

    PV*SOL is a leading solar simulation and design software used by energy engineers to model photovoltaic systems. It allows for detailed analysis of system performance, shading effects, energy yield, and financial viability, making it an essential tool for planning and optimising solar installations.

     
    At Arthian, we use PV*SOL to:


       

    • Simulate solar energy generation based on location and orientation
    • Analyse shading impacts from nearby structures or vegetation
    • Size systems based on energy demand and available space
    • Forecast financial returns, including payback periods and savings

    Our Solar Design Services

    Our PV*SOL Design Services Include:

    Site-Specific Solar Modelling
    Shading Analysis
    Financial Forecasting
    Integration with Energy Strategy
    Why PV*SOL Design Matters
    Who We Work With
    solar PV consultants BESS

    Site-Specific Solar Modelling

    We create detailed simulations based on your building’s location, roof geometry, and energy usage.

     
    This includes:

       

    • Solar irradiance analysis
    • System sizing, panel selection and configuration
    • Performance estimates over time
    solar PV consultants BESS

    Shading Analysis

    We assess potential shading from nearby buildings, trees, or roof structures to ensure optimal panel placement and maximum energy yield.

    solar PV consultants BESS

    Financial Forecasting

    We provide clear, data-backed projections of:

       

    • Installation costs
    • Annual energy savings
    • Payback periods and ROI
    • Carbon reduction estimates
    solar PV consultants BESS

    Integration with Energy Strategy

    We align solar design with your broader energy goals, including net zero targets, EPC improvement, and MEES compliance.

    solar PV consultants BESS

    Why PV*SOL Design Matters

    • Maximise Energy Yield: accurate modelling ensures your system is sized and positioned for optimal performance—avoiding underperformance and overspend.
    • Support Investment Decisions: financial modelling helps you make informed decisions about capital investment, funding, and long-term energy planning.
    • Avoid Planning Pitfalls: shading analysis and system design reduce the risk of planning delays, installation issues, and unexpected costs.
    • Align with Sustainability Goals: solar energy supports carbon reduction, ESG reporting, and compliance with energy regulations.
