Cutting-Edge Simulation Software for Today’s Solar Professional

Viessmann is proud to announce its new solar system simulation software ESOP NA 4.0. designed to assist solar professionals with the planning and design of Viessmann solar systems.

The program comes with 12 standard system configurations for solar DHW, solar pool heating, and combination systems that include DHW, space heating and/or pool heating. ESOP includes climate data for locations across North America as well as product specifications for all Viessmann solar collectors, DHW storage tanks and boilers. ESOP operates with metric or imperial units and features an integrated Design Assistant to help users navigate the program.

Users will be able to simulate their specific solar system design, and perform system calculations to estimate the solar energy production, solar fraction, energy savings, average CO2 reduction and more. The program also generates a professional, easy-to-understand report for the user as well as the customer.

“This is a powerful, must-have tool for anyone involved in the quotation, planning and design of Viessmann solar thermal projects”, says Rob Waters, Solar Product Manager for Viessmann North America. “Not only will it save valuable time, it will also help with correctly sizing a solar system, and can show your customer what energy production to expect from their solar system”.

Licenses of ESOP NA 4.0 are available for a one-time license fee of $99.
