The new SOLARPANEL-FIX software by fischer makes it quick and easy to plan and calculate compliant solar panel systems on roofs. All it takes is a few clicks and entering common parameters to get an installation plan, verified calculations and a complete parts list to create PV substructures.

Compliant installation systems for solar panel systems can be planned and calculated on pitched roofs with various covers, solar panel layouts and alignments with the new fischer SOLARPANEL-FIX software, part of the fischer FiXperience suite. Its intuitive and clear input structure, logical design process and simple features make the software highly user-friendly. It takes just six steps and a few common parameters to get the result. Formulas and calculations are continuously displayed, providing added transparency and reliability. 

In addition to its innovative solar and facade systems, the fixing specialist fischer offers a versatile range of services for implementing solar panel systems on roofs and facades. The company supports its clients throughout the planning and design stage and provides on-site support until the project’s successful completion. 

Design versatile projects 
The fischer FiXperience software can be used to safely and reliably plan fixing solutions for a wide range of applications. The software is valid worldwide in terms of current European application documents (ETA) and corresponding standards in addition to further applicable national and international design standards. Any safety-critical data is also taken into account during the design process, including any geometric conditions. The software only provides verifiable proof in a printable PDF format if the results are valid. 

The fischer FiXperience suite is available as an online browser version with the C-FIX, CHANNEL-FIX and SOLARPANEL-FIX modules. Additional applications are continuously added to FiXperience Online. There is also a desktop version with a total of eight modules for targeted and cost-optimised calculations for applications encountered in various trades. The design software contains multiple features. The new FEM module in the C-FIX software of fischer’s Fixperience Online Suite allows linear spring models to be used in combination with the FEM (Finite Element Method) to quickly and easily verify base plate stiffness and to calculate realistic anchor forces. This avoids duplicate work while saving time and guaranteeing the highest safety standards. 

fischer FiXperience offers ultimate speed and precision while calculating applications. Through new functions and features, the design software is continuously optimised according to customer requirements. The company’s long-term experience in design software, which dates back to the 1990s, is incorporated into the ongoing development of the modules.
