🔆 IST Solar DCDB Designer v3.0
🔆 IST Solar DCDB Designer v3.0 is an electrical planning and specification tool used to correctly size and configure Direct Current Distribution Boxes (DCDB) for solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Developed by the Institute of Solar Technology (IST), it helps EPC contractors and engineers safely design the DC circuit.

Key Features and Capabilities
- String Calculations: Automatically calculates the current and voltage ratings based on the number of strings and the specifications of the solar panels.
- Component Selection: Recommends the correct sizing for safety equipment like DC Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), DC Fuses, and DC Isolators/MCBs based on IEC/IS standards.
- Bill of Quantities (BoQ): Generates a comprehensive materials list and estimates to ensure budget accuracy.
- Safety & Compliance: Ensures the DCDB layout complies with the safety guidelines required for high-voltage DC circuits to protect inverters from surges and short circuits.
