Add multiple panels and dictate which inverters connect. Define Underground, Exterior, Interior, and Rooftop uniquely for each output circuit. It will measure all distances automatically and calculate all de-rated capacities and currents. Voltage drop calculations are performed automatically and you can adjust conductor sizes uniquely per circuit. No longer measure the worst case and generalize the cost across the entire design.

Automatically measures distances between modules, inverters, and balance of system equipment. This removes the transfer back-and-forth between Autodesk® AutoCAD® and spreadsheets. By keeping everything inside AutoCAD, it reduces transfer errors and copies errors. Common errors enter by starting from a similar project and trying to track differences manually. PV Rocket starts every project from scratch quickly and easily.

Measuring the “worst case” and designing all circuits to match can be done inside PV Rocket just as the standard manual design practice.  That can aid installation but also drives up cost. It is an unnecessary practice with PV Rocket. PV Rocket can easily and instantly track all feeders and conductors individually to comply with customer requirements while minimizing cost.

PV Rocket is flexible. You can add any number of AC Combiner panels to bring together any number of string inverters, in any order. Temperature derating is calculated based on common sense questions of where and how the feeders are routed, Interior, Exterior, Underground, and Roof. You can add generation power meters, additional disconnects, transformers, etc and have the software track the connections and properly add them all to the Feeder Schedule and Equipment Schedule.

Circuit by circuit measurements and calculations for both AC and DC set PV Rocket apart. It calculates things that many designers either gloss over or do not consider at all. It might be possible to perform a manual design as fast as PV Rocket but never with all the calculations performed and the precision of our software. PV Rocket will make every member of your team productive, accurate, and error free.

PV Rocket has been under development for five years with a dozen beta users. Most of the features it currently has come from its daily use. We can handle a wide variety of inputs, microinverters, and multiple points of interconnection.

When you first run the app, it automatically downloads a free 30-day trial key. It does not ask for emails or credit card details at that point. Try it and let us know what we can do to help you learn it and use it successfully.

When the trial expires, click on the "Account" button and select a subscription. There is a 30 days key for $100, or a 1-year key for $980.00. Your selection launches a secure web store in your browser with multiple payment options. When you successfully make the payment, you immediately get your key on the screen and in a separate email. Copy and Paste the key into the Account tab and press "Activate". The key is node-locked to your computer for use during the subscription. There is also a "Deactivate" button to be able to move the key to a new computer and lock it there.

Software updates and support are included.
