Good news for installers: The process of planning PV systems – from roof mounting to electrical system design – is now easier and more convenient than before. The new planning software from K2 Systems now features a direct interface with the inverter planning tool SUNNY DESIGN from SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA). Interconnection of mechanical and electrical planning processes for PV systems means that data no longer has to be entered multiple times and planning efforts are thus significantly reduced.
And it could not be easier: At the beginning, the user designs a suitable mounting system in five steps by using the K2 Base software. In the last menu option “Summary,” the user can simply click the K2+ button to send the entered project data directly to the SMA SUNNY DESIGN planning tool and immediately start planning the electrical and thermal simulation of the energy systems. All that is required to use this new feature is a K2 Base and a SUNNY DESIGN user account.
All benefits of K2+ at a glance:
- Interconnectivity: Easy transfer of layout changes
- Reduced complexity
- No more multiple data entry necessary
- Planning time is decreased - less planning equals more installation
- You receive the expert knowledge of the manufacturers
