DISCUSSION
• Helioscope cloud-based,cross platform software
• Its new,emerging softrware in pv industry unlike pvsyst it can be used in any operating
system and no need of any software to be installed in the system
• Simpler design and user friendly interface
• After several research in internet on simulation research papers I never encounter a
paper using helioscope software for designing a pv plant
