Design FAQ
You can design a complete PV system in Autarco’s own software Helios. From design to bill of materials to confirmed order, all in one place.
When setting up a PV system in Helios, you are first asked to enter some information, such as requested system properties, end user information and installation address. Once that is done, you can use our design tool Remote Survey to model your PV system. You’ll find more information in these videos:
Since Autarco is a brand providing complete PV-solutions, in our design software you are only able to work with Autarco products. The use of Autarco products is also one of the requirements for our kWh guarantee. For certain projects we may be able to make an exception, contact your account manager for more information.
Yes, Helios offers a financial calculator, in order to create insight in all the costs and benefits involved in your customer’s investment. Contact your account manager to get access.
On the project page, you will find the ‘Get quote’ button. Define the delivery terms and the quote will be created, based on the selection of materials contained in the process. When opening the quote, you can export this as a PDF file.
Only after installation and registration a kWh guarantee will be issued. The height of the kWh guarantee is based on the actual installation, that may differ from the design the quote is based on. Therefore, extension quotes can only be created and fulfilled after the system has been verified.
When modelling a flat roof system in Remote Survey, the required amount of ballast will be automatically calculated. Based on the selected tile weight, the position and required number of tiles will be shown in Remote Survey.
