FAQ
What is Polysun SPT?
Polysun SPT is a software solution for photovoltaic planners that allows you to create 3D roof models, optimally position PV modules, and generate detailed reports. Additionally, it enables inverter and battery storage sizing as well as the creation of electrical schematics and material lists.
How is Polysun SPT different from Polysun Designer?
Polysun SPT is primarily focused on 3D roof planning and generating professional technical reports for photovoltaic systems. Polysun Designer expands its capabilities to integrate other technologies, such as heat pumps and power-to-heat applications, to optimize the interaction between PV systems and heating/cooling solutions.
Does Polysun SPT support inverter and battery storage sizing?
Ja, Polysun SPT ermittelt nicht nur den jährlichen Ertrag, sondern stellt auch den Eigenverbrauch und verschiedene Energieflüsse (z. B. Batterieladung/-entladung) übersichtlich dar. So kannst du Szenarien vergleichen und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten finden.
Can I calculate self-consumption with Polysun SPT?
Yes, Polysun SPT not only determines annual energy yield, but also provides a clear visualization of self-consumption and various energy flows (e.g., battery charging/discharging). This allows you to compare scenarios and identify optimization potential.
Can Polysun SPT handle larger projects (e.g., commercial installations)?
Yes, Polysun SPT is used for both residential homes and large-scale commercial and industrial PV systems.
Is there a trial version of Polysun?
