BlueSolsolar photovoltaic systems

Bluesol – Photovoltaic Design Software

$\"\"$

BlueSol is a software for the design of photovoltaic systems in every country in the world. It allows you to perform the entire process of designing a PV System, from the preliminary assessment of energy generation to the production of final system documentation. Bluesol is a product made with a standard Microsoft interface, very easy to use but at the same time manages every detail of the PV system.
