An Overview of Software of Design and Simulation of Photo Voltaic Systems

This article reviews the most commonly used software for designing and simulating the operation of solar photovoltaic systems. A comparative analysis of the installed capacity of SPV compared to other programs that simulate the operation of other renewable energy sources such as wind, biomass and others. The results of the analysis are reviewed to determine how well solar photovoltaic systems are designed and simulated. This is useful in view of data corresponding to the potential for future energy production from decentralized sources and in order to optimize energy costs. In this way, based on the forecasts for the development of the energy market, an adequate assessment of the investments and the return on investments is obtained.
