Software for accurate solar PV assessments

In the South African solar market, inconsistent assessments pose a significant risk. An independent solar PV assessment uses integrated, industry-leading tools to produce a 3D design with shading analysis and transparent financial modelling that accurately forecasts return on investment, energy savings and optimal financing, all based on your verifiable energy data.

Meticulous design software: eliminating risk

A solar system is only as good as the design behind it. Independent design software produces a detailed 3D layout with proper shading analysis, so the system reflects the real site, roof angles, obstructions and shadow paths, rather than an idealised assumption. That eliminates a major source of under-performance.

Objective and transparent financial modelling

Alongside the design, transparent financial modelling forecasts the return on investment, energy savings and optimal financing structure. Because it is built on your verifiable, measured energy data, the numbers reflect how your site actually uses energy, not a generic profile.

The Augos advantage: independent assessment

The key is independence. An assessment that is not tied to selling a particular system is aligned with your interest: an accurately sized, well-designed investment with a return you can trust, grounded in your own data.

Common questions

Why are solar assessments risky?

In the South African market, assessments vary widely in quality and objectivity. An over-optimistic design or financial model leads to under-performing systems and disappointing returns.

What does independent design software provide?

A meticulous 3D design with shading analysis, so the layout reflects the real site rather than an idealised one, reducing the risk of over-sizing or shaded, under-producing panels.

How does the financial modelling help?

It transparently forecasts return on investment, energy savings and optimal financing, based on your verifiable energy data, so the decision rests on evidence rather than a sales estimate.

Why does independence matter?

Because an assessment tied to a system vendor has an incentive to sell. An independent assessment, built on your measured data, is aligned with your interest in an accurate, well-sized investment.
