UL Solutions software solutions
ULTRUS™ Windnavigator
Identify potential sites and perform early-state project development activities with Windnavigator. Windnavigator delivers high-quality maps and datasets through a web-based interface and enables you to quickly and easily analyze and prospect greenfield sites and assess competing projects.
Windographer
Designed for importing, analyzing and visualizing wind resource data measured by met tower, sodar or lidar, Windographer quickly imports virtually every data format, allows rapid quality control and statistical analyses including MCP, and exports to all common wind flow models.
Data Management Dashboard
Our Data Management Dashboard and monitoring services help you collect, monitor and analyze data from meteorological towers, solar monitoring stations or remote sensors in a secure online environment. You receive access to our team of expert meteorologists who work directly with your team to monitor the status of data collected to help ensure high-quality data.
Openwind
Our wind farm design and optimization software can be used throughout your wind project’s development to create optimal turbine layouts that maximize energy production, minimize energy losses, account for plant development costs and generate overall project efficiencies.
ULTRUS Renewable Resource Assessment Platform
Renewable Resource Assessment Platform (RRAP) combines the methods, clean energy software tools and data resources required to conduct preliminary wind energy analysis into a web-based platform. RRAP is designed to follow the iterative process a wind developer takes to assess energy in the early stages of project development from greenfield prospecting to preliminary project design. The result is a more streamlined approach to help you make informed decisions about which wind projects to develop and/or invest in.
ULTRUS Renewable Asset Monitoring Platform (RAMP)
RAMP’s SaaS platform brings the power of real-time monitoring, production KPIs, analytics, power forecasting and reporting to help wind plant owners, O&M directors, asset managers and technicians manage their renewable assets.
ULTRUS HOMER® Microgrid and Hybrid Power Modeling Software
We help customers model and optimize microgrid and hybrid power systems to maximize efficiency, cost-savings and revenue. Whether your system is behind-the-meter or in front, on-grid or off-grid, kilowatts or gigawatts, we have the services you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does renewable energy software contribute to sustainability goals?
Renewable energy software supports sustainability by enabling more accurate forecasting, optimized system design and efficient resource use. This helps reduce waste, lower emissions and improve the financial viability of clean energy projects, aligning with long-term environmental and ESG goals.
- What are the economic benefits of using specialized software for renewable energy projects?
Specialized software can help streamline project development and operation by reducing design errors, shortening permitting timelines and improving energy yield estimates. These efficiencies support cost savings across the project life cycle and can enhance return on investment.
- How does renewable energy software help mitigate project risks?
Software can identify site-specific challenges early by analyzing terrain, wind or solar resource quality, and compliance requirements. These insights help developers avoid costly rework, assess technical feasibility and improve bankability.
- How can clean energy software improve site selection for renewable energy projects?
Software tools combine resource data, GIS mapping and land-use constraints to help identify optimal locations for solar, wind and storage projects. This data-driven approach can help reduce time spent on unsuitable sites and supports faster, better-informed decisions.
- Which data analysis capabilities should renewable energy software provide?
Effective tools support multi-variable modeling, historical data integration and performance forecasting. The ability to visualize, compare and export data across time and location can help users make evidence-based decisions.
- How does renewable energy software integrate with existing infrastructure?
Modern software platforms often support data import/export, API integration and compatibility with industry-standard formats. This helps project teams incorporate the software into existing workflows, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems or engineering platforms.
- What role does modeling play in renewable energy software?
Modeling helps simulate site conditions, system behavior and long-term performance under varying scenarios. This enables developers to evaluate technical and financial outcomes before committing capital.
- What factors should be considered when choosing renewable energy software?
Key considerations include the software’s technical accuracy, ease of use, interoperability with other tools, support services and alignment with the user’s project goals and expertise level.
- How can renewable energy software support regulatory compliance?
Software can help track region-specific codes, simulate compliance scenarios and generate documentation needed for permits or incentive applications, improving regulatory efficiency and audit readiness.
