Calculation of energy consumption is a tool for calculating the household electricity consumption (farm, country house, home etc.). With the help of this calculator, you can calculate how much energy your house is consuming, which is the first and foremost step for developing the plan for installation of solar PV panels.
To use this calculator enter your energy consumption data for different household appliances, which you can select from the pull-out menu. In the menu the most common values of the basic household electrical appliances are given. Select the power in watts next to the name of appliances. Typically, the power of the appliance is indicated on a special label located behind the back or bottom wall of the appliance. Enter approximately the usage duration for each appliance diring one day (in the first cell "hours" and on the second cell "minutes"). To add devices, click the "Add" icon. After adding all the appliances you can see the total energy consumption of your house on the lower right corner of the window.

Calculation of energy output of PV station
Calculation of energy output of PV station – is a tool for the calculation of the electrical energy output of the projected PV station, and it also estimates total solar radiation coming to any orientated and tracking surfaces.
Tilt of solar panel is the angle of the solar panel to the horizontal surface. The tilt angle varies from 0 to 90 degrees. The horizontal arrangement corresponds to 0 degrees, and the vertical arrangement is 90 degrees. Entering the angle is available and mandatory for "Fixed" and "Vertical axis tracking" systems. For other systems it is determined by the calculator.
Often, users set the tilt angle equal to the latitude of the location. However, setting the tilt angle equal to the latitude does not necessarily maximize the annual output of the system's energy, since smaller tilt angles favor peak production in the summer months, and higher tilt angles favor lower exposure conditions in the winter months.
The azimuth of solar panels is the angle showing the orientation of the solar panels to the sides of the world. The azimuth angle is 0 degrees when the solar panel is oriented to the “south”, 180 degrees with the orientation to the “north”. Entering the azimuth value is mandatory and is only available for the "Fixed" orientation type. For the orientation types of the panels "Fixed Adjustable 2 times per year" and "Horizontal axis tracking" the default values are zero, and correction of the values of this field is possible. For other types of orientation panels is calculated by the calculator.
The default value of azimuth angle is 0 ° (south orientation), these values tend to maximize the production of electricity for the year. Changing the value of the azimuth angle to the positive side, i.e. “west” contributes to increased energy production in the second half of the day, and the change in the value of the azimuth angle to the negative side, i.e. “east” contributes to increased energy production in the morning.

Analyze suitability of the territory for instalation of solar power stations
The function "Analysis of the suitability of the territory for the placement of Solar power station (SPS)" is designed to assess the suitability of the administrative area for the placement of network SPS. To work with the tool, the user must have knowledge of the factors affecting the placement of (SPS).
The developed tool allows you to interactively assign the degree of influence and the scope of both anthropogenic and natural factors. For this, the user: 1) selects the administrative area, the source of data on total radiation (NASA SSE, SARAH-E), 2) determines the importance (weight) of the parameter , Admissible values of the input parameters, 3) selects the lands excluded from the ranking, 4) Recalculates each pixel value, those outside the allowed values are equal to zero, the values for the pixels with the positive influence of interploation from the excluded 0 to the maximum values of 100% (as the value increases), the values with negative influence are interpolated from the excluded 0 to the minimum values of 100% (as the values decrease), 5) The final raster is formed according to the availability in percent. The resulting resulting raster is displayed in the form of a percent scale: 75-100% -most suitable; 50-75% - suitable; 25-50% - relatively usable; 0-25% - of little use; 0 - unusable.

Query Designer
The "Query Builder" tool is designed to allocate suitable territories for placement of SPS by the given designer of queries. To work with the tool, the user must have knowledge of the factors affecting the placement of SPS.
The tool allows you to view each factor affecting the placement of the SPS individually and in combination with another factor.This function is implemented as a callable query designer window with the ability to select a layer, select a layer field, preview the values of the layer field, select conditions (mathematical operands (>, <, =,+ , -, *, / , and logical (AND (&&), OR (II), NO (!). The results are presented in the form of maps with the ability to view the influence of each factor on the placement of SPS.
