Made by the developers of the full featured market leading PV simulation software PV*SOL, this online tool lets you input basic data like Location of your system, Load profile and annual energy consumption, PV module data (manufacturer, model, orientation, quantity etc.), Inverter manufacturer.
SOLAR SYSTEM CALCULATOR. To construct a solar system model, enter 5 (for example) in the scale factor box, click "Earth diameter" and you will have all the dimensions in terms of the Earth's diameter.
In this calculator, you will find the Sun with its eight planets, the dwarf planet Pluto and some of the largest moons. Additionally, there is also listed the star next to us, the system Alpha Centauri, to show the distances between the stars.
This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
Click on the "Calculate" button. Notice that the distances and sizes of the planets will automatically fill in. I've also provided some other interesting scale comparisons at the bottom of the chart. You can now build your scale model.
VOS O offers a simple solution to scale our solar system. From a reference (diameter, distance, or scale), VOS O lists the diameters and distances scaled for all planets, the eccentricity of their orbit, and their respective positions around the sun at a given date (heliocentric longitude).
