Archelios Pro and Archelios Calc

Software: Archelios Pro and Archelios Calc

  Archelios Pro and Archelios Calc are computer software that supports in optimum design, installation, and operation of Solar PV systems.   What is a Photovoltaic Software? A Photovoltaic Software is a PC software that assists in the sizing, simulation, and data analysis of solar PV systems. It can be used for different systems like grid-connected, stand-alone, and DC-grid systems, and helps in optimum cost for design and manufacturing of solar systems and performance improvement. PV software can be used for simulation of PV system fields' production, estimation of electrical production, and calculation of project profitability. PV software can be used as a tool to support PV sizing, providing a PV sizing calculator which supports in sizing of PV system projects, and also as a  PV simulation software.

Archelios Pro and Archelios Calc Software

It is software developed by Trace Software international, which is one of the worldwide leaders in software development and engineering services. Archelios Calc is a component of the tools contained in archelios suite. It is used alongside archelios Pro. Archelios Pro is an application that allows the 3D simulation, calculation, and analysis of photovoltaic installations, in order to be able to provide the electrical sizing of all the components required for system installation. Archelios Calc and Archelios Pro, form a packaged solution to provide assistance in all work required for the total PV project development from the feasibility study to the finalization of design and calculations notes.
