Automatic wire sizing considers distance, current, and voltage drop, with color-coded indicators highlighting acceptable ranges. The platform supports 12V, 24V, and 48V systems, ensuring compatibility between panels, controllers, and inverters. Designs can be exported as PDFs or PNGs, shared via links, and stored locally for offline use. A built-in safety margin ensures thermal safety. A community forum offers peer support for design questions and troubleshooting.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductLogo/30fc5a52-88b8-4fd4-8869-e8f1aacfd4de.png","url":"https://www.capterra.ca/software/1100056/Solar-Planner","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"RoofDecko","position":10,"description":"RoofDecko is s solar design solution that converts a single drone photo into detailed roof measurements, scaled solar panel layouts, and string designs with voltage validation. The software eliminates the need for LIDAR or imagery subscriptions by using standard drone metadata to compute real-world measurements. A top-down roof photo captured with any consumer drone provides the altitude and lens data needed to scale accurately without manual calibration. The workflow includes uploading the photo, sketching roof facets, laying out panels, and wiring strings with voltage checks.\n\nPanels snap into organized arrays and rotate to match roof angles. The system highlights clearance violations for fire and maintenance setbacks. String designs validate voltage per NEC 690.7 standards. Projects save automatically for easy revisiting and editing. RoofDecko operates entirely in a web browser and requires only a drone and internet connection to begin designing solar installations.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductLogo/645bf7f0-4de6-440b-aa1c-ed1c30b80539.png","url":"https://www.capterra.ca/software/1103574/RoofDecko","@type":"ListItem"}],"numberOfItems":10}
