New Polysun 5.10: the new bookmark feature puts your favorite products in the fast lane

The new 5.10 release of the software Polysun, made by the Swiss company Vela Solaris, provides the user with the new bookmark feature «Favorites» whereby product selection is made considerably easier.

(PresseBox) (Winterthur, )
Polysun includes comprehensive databases of products commonly available on the market. Businesses, however, mostly purchase the products from a limited number of suppliers. Now, your favorite products can be marked with the star icon and the software will suggest and take them into consideration ahead of other products in the design of solar systems. This makes the generation of sales reports with Polysun quicker and easier.

Polysun catalogues have grown to include a comprehensive and growing amount of products commonly found on the market. To keep track of these products, the user can mark products from his trusted suppliers with the star icon. So, when working again with Polysun, the marked products will always be shown as first choice.

This feature proves particularly useful in the design of inverters or in the selection of the right hot water tank. In the example below, Sunny Boy inverters by SMA are suggested as first choice. Of course, in case none of the favorite products meets the requirements, the user can choose the product from the entire database.


Ground-source loop design
A new, state-of-the-art design wizard for ground-source loops used in combination with heat pumps and/or solar systems suggests the optimal loop length based on hot water and building heating load. The wizard works for both single loops and loop fields and also takes into account the composition of soil layers, the distance between boreholes, outdoor temperatures , etc. The automatic design with Polysun makes iterative simulations unnecessary enabling the user to achieve his/her goal – a convincing sales report – more quickly and comfortably.
