RatedPower Modeling is a specialized module within the RatedPower platform designed to automate and optimize the engineering and layout of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. The tool leverages advanced algorithms to scan millions of design iterations, providing optimal site layouts that maximize capacity and minimize costs. It features 3D modeling and visualization, allowing users to view and analyze layouts from every angle, conduct shading analysis, and ensure compliance with site constraints. The platform supports real-time layout editing, enabling users to add, remove, or reposition structures to adapt to specific site requirements. Batch design capabilities allow for the simultaneous generation and comparison of multiple layout configurations, facilitating data-driven decision-making. RatedPower Modeling integrates with financial and grid modeling tools, producing detailed engineering documentation, bills of materials, and bankable outputs for investor and regulatory submissions. The module is used by developers, EPCs, and engineering teams to accelerate project timelines, improve design accuracy, and enhance project profitability.
