SolarLayout & BESS Desktop
Utility-scale solar layout and battery storage, on Windows
What it does
Two Windows apps for utility-scale renewables. SolarLayout Desktop turns a site boundary into a full PV plant design - tables, inverters, cables, yield, CAD and PDF. BESS Desktop runs a year of battery dispatch and builds the financial model.
Generate utility-scale solar PV plant layouts from a KMZ boundary — table placement, cable routing, and 25-year energy yield, right in your browser.
Two focused apps that turn a site boundary and a handful of inputs into a complete PV plant layout — or a fully simulated, financed battery-storage project. Real engineering output, in minutes. Both share the same clean project workflow — open your inputs, generate, and export deliverables you can hand off. Automated PV plant layout from a site boundary — tables, inverters, ICRs, DC/AC cabling, BOM, single-line diagram and energy yield. Size, simulate and finance battery storage — 15-minute dispatch, DFR compliance and a 25-year model through to lender-grade IRR, DSCR and LCOS. No account needed to try.

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
