"PHIL" can calculate the shadow projected by trees and neighbouring houses; it also incorporates any surrounding mountains into calculations. PHIL automatically refers to a worldwide height grid that is stored in the appropriate database. Thus they obtain an exactly simulated annual result by the actual loss expected due to shadows.
No other software can do this: "PHIL" calculates exactly how the current module temperature has an effect on performance. In this process, PHIL automatically references a database with the worldwide hours of sunshine. Thus, the values cannot be glossed over. The calculation is so exact that a complete year is simulated in 10 minute intervals.
You are not associated with a manufacturer with PHIL. You can choose from any module available on the market from one database. New modules are automatically incorporated into the software and are directly available to you. Thus, you can assemble PV systems in a way that is best for you.
"PHIL" automatically shows you which inverters are best suited to your PV system and also calculates the corresponding string distribution. Considerable losses in performance due to wrong components and chain linking are thus a thing of the past.
Satellite cards make it possible: The position and roof orientation can be determined with a few mouse clicks. Time consuming self-calculations are thus ruled out. The external data centre provides calculations in record timing. Thus, the calculation for a PV system is done in no time at all.
The software provides an exact result for the expected performance by considering all factors which lead to loss in performance. This is how to prevent complaints. Because wrongly calculated solar-powered systems can quickly end up in court.
What your PV system is really good for, based on an equation with many variables. PHIL is the only software on the market able to take all variables into account and thus give you an exact result about the actual performance expected of your PV system
What do you do with the energy produced? Especially after the German government's latest tariff reductions. PHIL also gives you a crystal clear answer and tells you what is best for you in your specific case.
You can use PHIL conveniently with your browser.
Use is free at all times, even with updates.
Gable and flat roofs can be calculated using PHIL.
You can calculate as many PV systems as you like.
Automatic preallocation, manual post-processing.
Windows, chimneys and dormer windows can be easily inserted.
The software was developed by certified experts in photovoltaics (TÜV) with tested skills, graduate mathematicians, and computer science graduates.
