Skelion 5.3.0 v1.3.4 Feb. 2022 for SketchUp 2017+ Win

Design solar thermal or solar photovoltaic installations starting from a 3d model. Design residential installations or ground mount power plants in a few clicks using Sketchup and Google Earth. Reduce the cost of the design saving hours of modeling time. Make good looking professional presentations and proposals.

FEATURES
RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS
Specially developed to insert solar panels in any roof.

COMPONENTS
Create your own 3d Component and insert directly in 3D model or customize the existent database of solar panels.

MINIMAL SHADING CRITERIA
Solar obstructions can be projected over the roof with two different criterias (distance - height or solstice shadow) to determine the area that accomplish the criteria.

SHADING LOSSES
Using TMY hourly meteorological data Skelion calculates the percentage of solar energy available for each panel taking into accoun near shadings.

PVSYST EXPORT 3D MODEL
Export your ground power plant or your solar system to PVSYST.

LINKED TO PVWATTS and PVGIS
Skelion links 3D model with PV calculators of NREL and European JRC to generate a PV energy report .

GROUND MOUNT POWER PLANTS
Import your 3D mesh and insert your solar component in the terrain.

ARRAY SERIES
Change from normal texture to color texture to draw array series of the power system using paint tool of Sketchup.

CURVED ROOFS
Insert solar panels in curved roofs.

DOME COMPONENTS REPORT
Insert dome components and obtain the report of both orientations.

TRACKING AND BACKTRACKING
View movement of any 1 axis or 2 axis solar component. Find out the shading losses.
