Eclipse Software & Server & Database

The Eclipse software simulates various components of the solar array subsystems, including the following:

  • Solar Array

  • DC-DC Converter

  • MPPT

  • Load (Kinda)

Additionally, this simulator also can simulate the source properties of solar cells. All results are then backed up to a local database.
