RatedPower Plan is a core module of the RatedPower platform, designed to automate and optimize the planning, engineering, and design of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. The software centralizes the entire design workflow, allowing users to define project sites, input topographical and meteorological data, and automatically generate optimal layouts, cable routing, and equipment configurations. RatedPower Plan scans millions of design iterations to maximize site capacity and minimize costs, while producing comprehensive, editable engineering documentation in multiple languages and units. The platform supports integration with financial and market data tools, enabling users to assess project feasibility, forecast energy generation, and analyze economic performance. RatedPower Plan is used by developers, EPCs, and engineering firms to accelerate project timelines, reduce manual work, and ensure regulatory compliance through standardized reporting and documentation.
