AI-powered design and engineering for utility-scale PV, storage and hybrid

Screen with confidence. Engineer without delay

One AI-optimized pass takes your project site all the way to layout, yield, electrical design, CAPEX and 400+ editable pages of documentation you can work from, in up to 90% less design time.

What one scenario at a time actually costs you

Most teams still build layouts in spreadsheets and CAD, one scenario at a time. A single site takes a day or two, so you run two options instead of twenty and decide on the best guess you had time for. The real gap isn't you against a competitor's software, it's between the projects you could evaluate and the ones you do. Close it and three numbers move:

Icon

x160 faster layouts

You put 160 layouts in front of a decision where you used to build one by hand, so drafting time stops capping the portfolio.

Icon

5% less LCOE

You compare options in week one, while changes are still cheap, and the LCOE comes down with them.

Icon

20% more asset profits

You find the configuration that earns most before anyone commits engineering spend, rather than after the design is fixed and the money is already in it.

Evaluate, design and document a project before you commit engineering budget

What one pass through Enverus RatedPower settles

Four parts, covering the ground you can build on, the layout your engineers can still change by hand, the yield number that survives review, and the AI layer across all three.

GIS for solar development

Find the ground worth designing on

  • Parcels, substations and transmission
    Navigate land parcels to understand leasing or purchasing opportunities, and track existing and planned plants to see where the competition already sits.
  • Your own GIS data next to ours
    Upload custom layers and combine them with existing ones, so the analysis runs on your view of the market rather than a generic one.
  • Buildable acreage, not just area
    Assess buildability at scale with customized suitability analysis, and find points of interconnection with injection capacity. Available in selected geographies.
Layout Editor

Design it, then change it by hand

  • Layout on your rules
    Define setbacks, roads, structure alignment and rotation, with slope limits and cut-and-fill priced into CAPEX rather than discovered later.
  • Move what needs moving
    Add or remove structures, place string boxes and inverters, relocate power stations and refine MV and LV connections, with DC/AC ratio, power, price and LCOE updating as you edit.
  • Take it into CAD and bring it back
    Export the layout as a .dwg at any point, edit it where your civil team works, and import the edited file. The round-trip is not lossless in every case.
3d energy yield estimation tool

A yield number that survives review

  • Two modes, used for different things
    The simplified model reconciles with PVsyst; the 3D ray-traced mode runs on radiance module by module, with terrain and near-object shading inside the calculation.
  • Reconciliation you can check
    Black & Veatch audited the simplified yield against PVsyst at +0.24% to +1.08%. Export the shading scene and run the comparison yourself.
  • Documents your peers can open
    Editable reports, drawings, bills of quantities, SLDs and 3D shading data ready for PVsyt.
AI agentic solar and storage platform

The AI layer across all three: Say what the project has to achieve

Enverus ONE Power Analyst runs on the same simulation, design-space and CAPEX engines your team already uses, so what changes is who drives them. Nothing critical is saved or executed without your explicit confirmation, so the engineering judgement stays yours.

Icon

Run the whole design matrix in one go

Vary pitch, DC/AC ratio, modules and inverters together rather than one at a time. Power Analyst applies the right CAPEX templates to each combination and returns a ranked comparison you can argue with.

Icon

Work backward from the number that matters

Set a target on LCOE, NPV, IRR, payback or performance ratio and Power Analyst searches the design space until it finds what meets it. Sensitivity heatmaps around the optimum show how far the answer moves when your assumptions do.

Icon

Get the deliverables from the same prompt

Yield reports, bills of quantities, single-line diagrams and financial sheets, generated in the format your workflow already expects. Update one table or refresh one section without regenerating the rest.

The best-in-class renewable players choose to work with us

Aukera Energy: Modelling BESS dispatch with confidence across hybrid PV projects

«One of the key features we're using is the software's capacity to simulate dispatching in a hybrid project with PV and BESS: you can upload your own electricity prices and simulate with your own data, which helps a lot to validate and optimise our base designs.»

Eduardo GonzalezHead of Solar Engineering at Aukera Energy

Elsewedy Electric: from weeks of engineering work to smarter designs in hours

«The 3D Energy tool is really useful when you're dealing with tough terrains — it shows you exactly which modules are most affected by shading, and gives you the freedom to explore different installation approaches to mitigate it.»

Ahmad AlkhatibTechnical Office Senior Engineer at Elsewedy Electric

SolarFarm Feasibility: Building a feasibility business on rapid design iteration with RatedPower

«Using traditional methods, I often found that it would take a lot of time, and a simple change could ripple and really take time and resources away. I built my business on the ability to give people the chance to look at a lot of different versions very quickly and really find the best solution for that site.»

Jake SteelePrincipal Consultant at SolarFarm Feasibility

Mulilo: Slashing layout generation time while strengthening stakeholder alignment

«Our turnarounds are a lot quicker now. The turnaround time on everything is maybe 10% of what it was before. Layouts that used to take a couple of hours can now be done in just a few minutes with our templates.»
