What is RatedPower
RatedPower is a solar PV plant design and engineering platform focused on utility-scale and large commercial projects. It supports layout design, electrical sizing, and energy yield and financial analysis to help teams evaluate and compare project alternatives. The product is used by solar developers, EPCs, and engineering teams during feasibility, pre-design, and detailed design workflows. It emphasizes automated design generation and scenario comparison rather than general-purpose drafting.
Utility-scale design focus
The product centers on ground-mount, utility-scale PV plant design workflows, including layout, electrical configuration, and project-level outputs. This aligns well with teams that need repeatable designs across many sites. Compared with tools oriented toward residential or small C&I proposals, it provides more depth for plant-level engineering artifacts. It is typically used earlier in development through engineering handoff.
Scenario comparison and optimization
RatedPower supports creating and comparing multiple design variants (e.g., equipment choices, DC/AC ratios, stringing approaches, and site constraints). This helps teams quantify tradeoffs across energy, CAPEX assumptions, and design constraints in a single environment. The workflow is suited to screening and standardizing designs across a portfolio. It reduces reliance on separate spreadsheets for iterative option analysis.
Integrated technical and financial outputs
The platform combines technical design outputs with yield and financial modeling to support feasibility and investment decisioning. This can streamline handoffs between engineering and development/finance stakeholders. It is useful when teams need consistent assumptions and traceable inputs across scenarios. The combined approach can reduce tool fragmentation across early-stage project evaluation.
Less suited for rooftops
The product’s strengths are primarily in ground-mount, utility-scale PV plants rather than complex rooftop geometry and residential sales workflows. Teams focused on rooftop shading analysis, homeowner proposals, or rapid residential quoting may find gaps. In those cases, specialized rooftop-focused design tools may provide more purpose-built features. RatedPower is typically a better fit for large-scale development and EPC engineering.
CAD depth may be limited
While it produces engineering layouts and drawings, it is not a general-purpose CAD system for arbitrary drafting. Organizations that require extensive custom drafting standards, highly specialized annotations, or non-PV civil/structural detailing may still need downstream CAD tools. This can introduce additional steps for final construction documentation. Fit depends on how much of the drawing set must be produced outside the platform.
Data and model assumptions constraints
Energy and financial results depend on the available configuration options and embedded modeling assumptions. Some teams may need more control over loss modeling, component libraries, or bankability documentation than an integrated platform provides by default. This can require validation against separate simulation tools or internal models. The need for parallel validation increases when projects have atypical designs or strict lender requirements.
