Solesca for OEMs

Show your equipment on a site, not on a spec sheet.

Four steps from a datasheet to a modeled site your customer’s engineer can open.

From spec sheet to modeled site

The buyer decides on one piece of ground. Show them your product on it.

  1. 1 of 4

    Place

    Your racking product, single-axis tracker or fixed tilt, laid on bare-earth elevation within its own slope limits.

    Pile reveals, frame clearance and pile count reported. No grading.

    Schematic: the same rows drawn flat, then placed on the ground as found, with the frames outside the slope limits marked
  2. 2 of 4

    Configure

    Position inverters and AC equipment, then set inverter and relay settings on the equipment page.

    Schematic equipment settings page: the equipment list, notes, inverter settings and relay settings
  3. 3 of 4

    Simulate

    Yield with the product as placed, each frame at its own tilt and azimuth, validated within 1% of PVsyst.

    Schematic: a layout drawn flat, converted to terrain, frames outside the slope limits removed, shading simulated per frame

Embedding

Embedded before, in public

Energy Toolbase embedded Solesca in ETB Developer. The direction runs both ways: DNV SolarFarmer runs inside Solesca through DNV’s API Partner Program.

  • API access on every Design License seat, at no extra cost
  • Covered by Solar Power World in November 2024 and Solar Builder in January 2025

Questions manufacturers ask

Does Solesca have an OEM or manufacturer partner program?

No formal program exists today: no tier, no badge and no co-marketing package. What exists is an open API on the Design License, a public record of being embedded in a third-party product, and a simulation engine with outside validation behind it. If you need a formal program, the useful conversation is a direct one.

Is the API an extra cost?

No. API access is included on the Design License.

Can racking products be modeled against terrain?

Yes. Single-axis trackers and fixed-tilt tables are placed on the existing terrain within the along- and across-slope tolerances you set, and the layout reports pile reveals, frame clearance and pile count. Solesca does not model grading or cut and fill, and does not give embedment depth.

Can a customer verify a design made with our equipment?

Yes. Designs export to PVsyst, CAD and 8760, so the customer’s engineer re-runs the case in their own software. Solesca holds an NREL cooperative research agreement, CRADA CRD-23-23746, and DNV SolarFarmer runs inside Solesca.

Tell us what you need from a design tool

An embedded design flow, a modeled reference project, or confidence that the simulation treats your product fairly. Say which, and we will tell you straight whether Solesca does it today.
