What do you like best about RatedPower?

RatedPower is an excellent tool for anyone working in the renewable energy sector. The software is super easy to understand, with a very friendly and intuitive interface. It has everything a renewable energy company needs to design a solar farm efficiently and with confidence. On top of that, the customer support team is responsive and very helpful, making the whole experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

What I liked the least is that there is no third-party verification of the results presented in the reports, which would add an extra layer of reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionising PV Solar Project Design"
5/5
What do you like best about RatedPower?

The standout feature of Rated Power is its remarkable efficiency in streamlining the design process for large-scale PV solar projects. The software's intuitive interface makes it incredibly user-friendly, enabling quick adoption by team members regardless of their technical background. The ability to complete projects in a fraction of the time—reducing the design period from months to just one week—is a game-changer. Additionally, the comprehensive functionalities, including automated drawing generation and accurate bills of materials, make it a one-stop solution that simplifies the workflow and enhances productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

One drawback of Rated Power could be its dependency on a stable internet connection for optimal performance, which may pose challenges in areas with unreliable service. Additionally, while the software is feature-rich, some users might find the range of options overwhelming at first. More guided tutorials or onboarding resources could enhance user confidence and expedite the learning process. Lastly, as with any specialised software, ongoing updates could ensure that the tool keeps pace with evolving industry standards and emerging technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and efficient tool for designing solar parks"
4.5/5
What do you like best about RatedPower?

The support is quick and helpful whenever I need it, though the software itself rarely requires any assistance. I find it easy to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

It's difficult to find much to criticize, but one possible drawback is that EYA may still need to be completed using Pvsyst. Fortunately, importing data into Pvsyst is straightforward, and the reports generated from the design process are helpful when preparing the EYA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Tool That Accelerates Design Start"
4.5/5
What do you like best about RatedPower?

I love how RatedPower massively speeds up the starting point of designs and gives us a base to work from. I really appreciate its ease of use and find it very intuitive. It took minimal training to pick up and use RatedPower effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

Roads, it would be useful to be able to add in existing paths for RatedPower to then read. Allowing the user to draw in the existing paths would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The software needed for the design of any photovoltaic project"
4.5/5
What do you like best about RatedPower?

RatedPower allows for the design of a photovoltaic installation that is very close to reality, making it a valuable tool for engineers, solar project developers, and also for researchers.

One of the most appreciated features is the interactive mapping, which allows for precise selection of the project site. The ability to define the alignment of structures, adjust the number of PV modules, and optimize their layout according to terrain constraints offers essential flexibility for feasibility studies and presentations to stakeholders.

Moreover, RatedPower stands out for the richness of its equipment database: it is possible to select from a wide range of photovoltaic modules, inverters, and structures, or even specify custom equipment with their technical characteristics. This flexibility allows for very detailed and realistic project modeling, which is a real asset for decision-making and optimizing energy yield.

The intuitive interface and detailed simulations facilitate the evaluation of project performance and profitability analysis, making it an essential tool for the sizing of solar power plants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

Although RatedPower is a powerful tool, some aspects could be improved.

1. Limited output data resolution: currently, production outputs are not available with a 10-minute time step. An improvement in this area would be a major asset, as many SCADA systems for supervision and consumption analysis operate with this temporal granularity. Being able to retrieve weather and production data with a 10-minute step would greatly facilitate studies and the integration of simulations into more detailed supply and demand analyses.

2. Integration of photovoltaic canopies in parking lots: the integration of a dedicated section for PV installations in parking lots with more flexibility would be a real plus. Many current projects integrate solar canopies, and better management of this type of installation in RatedPower would allow for a broader application scope.

Response from Emilio García Sánchez of RatedPower

A big thank you for your review, as detailed as it is enlightening! We are delighted to learn that RatedPower helps you design realistic photovoltaic installations and supports your engineering, development, and research work. We are particularly happy that you appreciate our interactive mapping, our equipment database, and our intuitive interface.

Your feedback regarding the resolution of output data and the integration of photovoltaic canopies is extremely valuable. We are constantly working on improving our platform. However, to date, no feature intended for smaller-scale projects than large-scale power plants is planned in our roadmap.

Thank you again for your trust in RatedPower for the design of your solar projects.

"Software test - Trial period"
3.5/5
What do you like best about RatedPower?

The software is simple to use and allows for a quick initial estimate of a project's results. The import and export features are well-designed: the import of topographic layers as well as the export of dxf and xl files are well-detailed and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RatedPower?

The software is not yet fully developed; there are still improvements/additions to be made for it to be truly usable. I am specifically referring to the aerial view in "free editing" mode or the automatic optimization for table filling on projects with complex geometry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
