"A powerful tool to generate fast screening and report for preliminary design of PV plants"

4.5/5

What do you like best about RatedPower?

It's very easy to learn. With a few clicks you can generate layouts, single line diagrams and financial plans for utility scale PV plants. It also has a great customer support. The graphic output can be integrated into CAD software almost immediately.

The last updates allow the designer to simulate a 3D view and have an immediate evidence of the shadowing of the modules.

The layout editor now has new features implemented to tweak every aspect of the design. It is also possible now the editing of the bess layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

Some features require time to be mastered correctly. It could be useful use two different size string inverters as you can do for centralized inverter. Layout editor updated but still with a few bugs (i.e. the streets are not on the ground but "float" on it in some points (maybe because of the terrain topography?). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RatedPower solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can easily evaluate the power of a PV plant available for a site directly from Google Earth, importing a .kmz file or a .dxf layout. You can rapidly evaluate different solutions (fixed structures, tracker, string inverters, centralized inverters, power stations, cable routes, pv modules, etc.). The layout can also be edited under some aspects to optimize the plant design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Consultant’s Take on RatedPower"

5/5

What do you like best about RatedPower?

RatedPower has been a reliable part of my toolkit for nearly a year. I use it for bid-phase techno-economic analyses and for early feasibility on in-house developments. The interface is intuitive, onboarding is minimal, and runs complete quickly with results that are consistent across iterations. Its ability to evaluate multiple plant architectures in parallel—layouts, inverter concepts, DC/AC ratios, and interconnection options—materially shortens decision cycles and improves confidence that the selected design is cost-optimal. Scenario management and version control support disciplined tender governance and traceability. Exported outputs integrate cleanly with internal models and procurement workflows. In short: fast, coherent, and easy to use. For EPC/IPP teams that need to converge on bankable designs under time pressure, RatedPower provides a pragmatic balance of rigor and speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

Limited flexibility to model diverse high-voltage interconnection architectures; limited granular control for custom components; uneven coverage of country-specific grid codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
