SolarNexus, a provider of solar business management software, has introduced new features allowing contractors to model solar hot water systems and energy efficiency upgrades using its software.
The new solar thermal system functionality allows contractors to model complete solar hot water systems in a manner similar to how they can currently model PV systems in SolarNexus.
The energy efficiency features allow users to specify the anticipated energy savings for proposed efficiency measures, and SolarNexus will incorporate the resulting energy cost savings into the project's financial analyses.
Additionally, energy efficiency enhancements and solar thermal systems in SolarNexus can be combined with PV systems, allowing cost estimates, modeling and quoting that takes into account all of the building's improvements at the same time, the company adds.
