BIMsolar features

BIMsolar® imports various 3D & BIM files: SKP (native Trimble SketchUp), openBIM IFC 2×3 to 4.3 versions, gbXML, IDF (EnergyPlus). BIMsolar® also imports native Autodesk REVIT models (RVT files) via a specific plugin (on request).
Our server offers a sample data from weather stations (red markers). You can also generate your own weather site via the PVGIS API or import your own data in tm2, epw or csv formats.
BIMsolar supports you to create layouts with virtual modules in various modes, with lots of innovations, such as AUTO-CLADDING!
You will find a large choice of PV modules for your BAPV layouts (extensive 2016 Photon® database – last edition). You can also use them as templates to create your own library (saved as “BIMsolarPersonalDataBase” in the dedicated folder).
You will also be able to develop your creativity using the Online Panel Designer or get inspired by the BIMsolar eCatalog with its portfolio of innovations, then technically reproducing BIPV materials to get modules, using the BIMsolar editors (from glass to module configurations).
You will find a large choice of inverters (extensive 2016 Photon® database – last edition). You can also use them as templates to create your own library (saved as “BIMsolarPersonalDataBase” in the dedicated folder).
Inverters can be selected or specified as closely as possible to the supplier’s data sheets. Micro-inverters can be created, following the growing innovation around BIPV and other specific systems.
Modules connection and wiring should be done either manually or in auto mode, following your inverters selection and your PV system configuration.
BIMsolar makes it easier to understand the connection logic between modules and inverters, minimizing mismatching losses and allowing heterogeneous modules to be connected in “free wiring” mode (typical of creative BIPV).
You should perform what-if analysis to get financial performance and key economic factors for your project, global and instantaneous. Compare variants!
BIMsolar® simulates ROI, payback and LCOE indicators related to your strategies: feed-in, self-consumption, mix.
Dear user, please note that the validation of new registrations is now done manually and may take some time. Thank you for your patience! Dismiss
