We bring light to the shaded side of photovoltaics. Our analysis reveals hidden potential and transforms it into positive results
capdevila ite © is a knowledge based company dedicated to analyse and optimize the performance of photovoltaic power generation projects.
We apply software tools, including proprietary, and a system approach from development to performance verification phases of the project.
Our focus is to provide expert support to manufacturing, integrator & financial companies involved in the utility & commercial scale photovoltaic business.
We show you how to achieve a turn around
Years of experience in performance simulations acquired in high tech industries and scientific disciplines ...
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Aerodynamics
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Thermodynamics
... transferred, preserving sound practices and know how, to our current area of business in ...
- Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV)
- Large Scale Power Plants
- Photovoltaics
- Sun-Tracking Systems
... with a dynamic perspective to include future technologies.
Our methodology is up to challenges
... as it was developed to handle diversity and complexity of:
-
Module and Sun tracking mounting system technologies
-
Integration in building architectures
-
Utility scale power plants
Selected examples:
Searchlight, Nevada, USA
Design optimization and yield prediction for a 20 MW plant with single vertical-axis tracking systems
Rovigo, Italy
Yield prediction for Europe's largest plant (2010) : 70MW fix mounted system
CPV Techonologies
Shading analysis and layout studies
Where everybody else gives up, that's where we start
…because our proprietary software includes improved models, solution algorithms and interfaces with production CAD/CAE systems to support advanced modeling
Realistic (3D) Site topography representation
Tracker matrix over irregular landscape
Arbitrary PV-System Architecture (Geometric) : irregular shapes
Generic tracker geometry: modules and strings configuration.
Our methodology reveals possibilities that others can't
Because the system perspective is central to our approach to design, and we have the application skills and access to the right tools, we provide:
Single-Pass Design
- Solar Resource and Site Asessment
- Preliminary Design : comparative assesment of technologies and of applicable solutions
- Initial Design, Performance Model & Production Forecast
- Performance optimization, Final Design
- Pre-Financial Due Dilligence Production Forecast
- Provisional & Final Acceptance Performance Verification
Project based Advisory Consultancy
To support other activities related to specific requirements for product or project performance.
Sunny guys like shadows & curves
We bring knowhow to the projects, with diverse academic educational degrees:
- Physics
- Electrical Engineering
- CAD Design
- Industrial Engineering
- Computer Science
