Calculation tools & models

Design a PV system for your location within the Netherlands, view the simulated solar power production of the whole Netherlands or find out what solar panels could offer you. Discover and play around with the several online, free-to-use tools and models developed within the PVMD group.

Quick Rooftop Scan

Are you considering to install solar panels on your roof? Use this easy Rooftop Scan to quickly find out if your roof is suitable for solar panels and how much you could possibly save on your electricity bill.

Detailed PV System Design

Design a detailed PV system for any location within the Netherlands and let the model calculate the performance and economics of this system. The calculations are based on the real-time weather and climate data from the KNMI (Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute).
