Sunny Design Brochure

Sunny Design contains important SMA in-
verter data as well as specifications on all
currentlyavailablePVmodules.Itiseasy
to use and guides the planner through the
entire design process. This saves time and
allows different configuration options to
be simulated without the need for com-
plicated calculations. Sunny Design auto-
matically calculates the design values and
comes up with a comprehensive result for
all design variants.
First,criticaloperatingconditionsareidenti-
fied. This ensures that the planner is notified
of any deviations from the standard design.
Although this notification does not necessar-
ily mean that the design is not permissible,
it serves to indicate that a thorough check is
required to see whether this operating state
is optimal for the current configuration (e.g.
array voltage too low).
Sunny Design enables the system designer
to fully concentrate on what plant designing
is all about. The software helps to estimate
the yield and investment cost implications
of the most important performance param-
eters, creating a tailor-made system for the
customer.
Additionally, a realistic operation evalu-
ation is performed over a calendar year
utilizing an integrated meteorological data-
base. Although a precise yield forecast can-
not be expected from Sunny Design (further
simulation programs with complex variable
analysis is necessary for this), Sunny De-
sign can determine the yield differences be-
tween various designs, including a techni-
cal performance verification. Not only can
the best system design be found, it can also
be evaluated for cost-effectiveness.
Lastly, a technical assessment of the system
design is clearly illustrated in an individu-
ally customized results report. As a printed
documentoranelectronicPDFfile,thissum-
mary is the ideal supplement to any offer.
