Enphase Energy, Inc. today announced that Solargraf℠, its cloud-based design and proposal software platform, is now available in Brazil. The Solargraf platform is used by solar installers for creating production system proposals and plan documents for both residential and commercial customers, and is also currently available to solar installers in the United States and Canada.
The key features available to installers in Brazil include:
- Three-dimensional (3D) modeling. The Solargraf platform offers an artificial intelligence-based 3D modeling tool for solar and battery systems that will automatically detect obstructions, intelligently optimize panel placement, and provide accurate shading analysis, all with one click. This feature will also be rolled out in the United States and Canada later this year.
- NEM 14300 integrated savings calculator. Specific enhancements were made to the savings calculator for the Solargraf platform in Brazil to help installers create more precise system estimates based on the country's new net energy metering (NEM) 14300 law.
A built-in bill of materials (BOM) calculator. An integrated calculator that empowers intallers who manage job costs and margins based on actual bills of materials in addition to per-watt pricing models.
- E-signature support via DocuSign™. The Solargraf platform now supports DocuSign's industry-leading document management and e-signature completion, including customizable form fields and legal disclaimers.
- Multi-language support for all customer proposals. The Solargraf platform creates sales proposal document outputs in multiple languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, French, and German, in addition to English.
