This engineering software allows you to calculate various thermal solar system parameters. There are instruments for creating storage and collector arrays.
TSOL Pro
TSOL Pro is a Windows utility for designing complex solar panel installations. Users can evaluate the economic efficiency.of the project. A large library of premade templates for different system types is available.
Main capabilities
With the help of this program you are able to plan a solar panel array for water heating or electricity generation. The first step is to select the project template. There is a large collection of standard systems from multiple manufacturers. The list can be filtered to exclude certain component types.
After choosing the system it is possible to manually change the parameters of separate elements by double-clicking on them. The size and number of collector arrays can be customized. Advanced project settings such as custom shades from nearby buildings or trees are provided. The overall solar panel area is calculated automatically.
It is worth mentioning that this app does not contain tools for analyzing wind energy farms. Users can download WindPRO for this purpose.
Component database
There is a library of flat-plate and unglazed solar collectors from all major manufacturers. Information about the gross surface, length, width and conversion factor is included for every product.
Please note that TSOL Pro is a paid application. The 30-day trial version can be evaluated for free.
