CENER-Digital offers the scientific community an integrated toolkit spanning PV system simulation, environmental data generation, image analysis, and device-level modeling—built on continuous R&D and industry collaboration.

At its core, SIMPV delivers high-accuracy performance simulation for PV plants across technologies, orientations, and tracking configurations, including 3D shading analysis for complex layouts and a nowcasting mode for real-time digital-twin applications and operational forecasting.

Users also gain access to high-resolution environmental datasets—long-term and TMY time series of irradiance and temperature—supporting bankable yield assessments from early feasibility through detailed design.

AI-powered image processing enables automated defect detection in EL, visual, and infrared thermography data, while device-level simulation (GD-Calc for optical structures like diffraction gratings; Silvaco for semiconductor and solar cell behavior) supports material and technology development.

Finally, simulation workflows incorporate life-cycle and sustainability metrics, linking performance modeling to circularity and environmental impact—offering researchers a holistic platform spanning efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
