The SLD are simple representations and typically only used in Owner Manuals. SolarPlus, OpenSolar - although these are solar design tools catered for the Australian industry they lack the ability to generate professional engineering standard SLDs.Despite it’s advantages, they are not commonly used in the Australian solar industry as they are American software and will produce SLDs designed for American standards. Helioscope, Aurora Solar - these are solar specific design tools that can easily generate professional solar SLDs.This is the solution most industry solar designers will use. Solar designers are able to produce adequate SLD required for documentation but the tools are time intensive and lack the professionalism of AutoCAD. MS Visio, MS Paint - these are generic office software and are used to graphically draw the SLD.The high barrier of entry means most solar designers avoid using AutoCAD and use other more simple software tools. The software is extremely technical, require engineering knowledge and is time intensive. Professional, engineering standard SLDs are typically created on AutoCAD by electrical engineers and drafters. They are a required part of various solar system documentation such as Installer Job Sheets, Owner Manuals and Grid Application forms. SLDs are viewed by solar installation teams, maintenance personnel and electrical grid operators to understand how the solar system should be installed and operates. Single Line Diagrams (SLD) are an important step in designing and installing solar systems as they relay technical electrical information about the solar system. Systems that are inappropriately designed or installed, or operated incorrectly pose a life threatening risk to all users and peoples in close proximity. Solar systems are electrical power systems and have inherit electrical safety risks.
