About System Advisor Model (SAM)
Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftops to large utility-scale systems. Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel. Power purchase agreement (PPA) projects where the system is connected to the grid at an interconnection point, and the project earns revenue through power sales. The project may be owned and operated by a single owner or by a partnership involving a flip or leaseback arrangement. Third-party ownership is where the system is installed on the customer's (host) property and owned by a separate entity (developer), and the host is compensated for power generated by the system through either a PPA or lease agreement.

RatedPower
RatedPower, part of Enverus, is an all-in-one software for designing utility-scale solar, BESS, and hybrid systems. It supports the full development cycle—from site selection to detailed engineering—enabling project developers, engineers, and analysts to work faster and more accurately. Users can assess land, locate optimal interconnection points, and design layouts using topographic and geospatial data. RatedPower also provides energy yield estimates, SLDs, and Gen-Tie reports that align with global standards. For BESS, it allows standalone or hybrid integration and helps evaluate feasibility through capacity optimization. Collaboration is easy thanks to exportable reports and layouts compatible with industry tools like PVsyst. With RatedPower, teams streamline project development while boosting accuracy and collaboration.

PV-DesignPro
Standalone Photovoltaic system design and analysis tool. Hourly simulation, uses hourly climate files (239 U.S. locations included). Sandia Labs PV Model. Enhanced version of PV-DesignPro-S developed in cooperation with Sandia National Labs Photovoltaic Systems Department. PV-DesignPro v6.0 is a suite of Windows 95, 98, NT, Win2000, and Vista compatible software designed to simulate photovoltaic energy system operation on an hourly basis for one year, based on a user-selected climate and system design. Three versions of the PV-DesignPro program are included on the Solar Design Studio CD-ROM: "PV-DesignPro-S" for standalone systems with battery storage, "PV-DesignPro-G" for grid-connected systems with no battery storage, and "PV-DesignPro-P" for water pumping systems. Below is a screenshot of the "S" version of PV-DesignPro. The purpose of the programs are to aid in photovoltaic system design by providing accurate and in-depth information on likely system power output.
