Caneco Electrical

Specialized LV, PV, and HV Add-on Module for Caneco Software

Available now for France and Spain compliance standards. Release in Germany coming soon!

Overview

Caneco Electrical is dedicated to the design of low voltage (LV), photovoltaic (PV), and high voltage (HV) installations. It is comprised of several modular cloud-based software add-ons for Caneco, available in Caneco Grow and Scale+ subscriptions.

With full integration of regional compliance standards and robust manufacturer equipment content, the add on software modules handle the complexities of engineering calculations and deliver detailed reporting with regional requirements included, ready for inspection authorities and commissioning agents.

Caneco Electrical PV Module is a cloud-based software add-on module used for the design of photovoltaic installations, including DC and AC system integration, EVSE, and battery storage projects. Currently available in France and Spain and coming soon in Germany. The module enables alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) calculations with built-in regional compliance. For example, in France, with support for NFC 15-100, C15-712, and NF 13-200 standards.
