Is sunny design a good tool for calculating solar PV?

That said, when used as a tool to really understand what's going on between a solar PV array, it's location and the sun, it's superb. SMA is the world's leading manufacturer of solar PV inverters and solar PV monitoring systems. SMA's Sunny Design software is a free to download and an incredibly powerful solar PV calculation tool.

How do photovoltaic systems work?

Photovoltaic systems convert the energy of sunlight into electric energy. Although PV modules produce direct current (DC) electricity, often the modules are connected to an Inverter which converts the DC electricity into AC, which can then be used locally or sent to the electricity grid. This type of PV system is called grid-connected PV.
