occasion of World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, a new generation solar software - iMaps
and pvPlanner - delivering new industry standards.
"iMaps and pvPlanner as a part of SolarGIS online system integrate the best-available solar
resource database, covering continuous history of 17 years, with the latest scientific knowledge
and best practices in solar and photovoltaic simulation", said Marcel Suri, Managing Director of
GeoModel Solar.
Project developers can quickly and easily identify sites with high insulation, to maximise electricity
production and economic profitability of solar energy projects. Engineers, installers, financers,
policy-makers and wider community can access this state-of-the-art software suite from the webbased platform http://solargis.info.
"SolarGIS iMaps provides access to key solar resource parameters with a spatial detail of 250
meters, thus allowing for accurate data query, sites selection and comparison, and informed
decision making about the best position for a prospective photovoltaic, concentrated photovoltaic
or concentrated solar power project", Suri said. iMaps offer also unlimited access to the relevant
site-specific climate and geographic data required for prefeasibility studies, supported by the data
reports and high-resolution interactive maps. Once a site is selected, photovoltaic electricity yield
can be interactively estimated by pvPlanner.
SolarGIS pvPlanner simulates long-term electricity production of photovoltaic projects ranging from
large open-space power plants to roof-top systems and rural electrification projects. For small and
medium-size photovoltaic systems, pvPlanner reports are bankable as they benefit from validated
insulation resource data, state-of-the-art knowledge and best practices in energy simulation
learned in previous projects, such as the EU initiative PVGIS.

Featured Product
HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer
HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
