Dear users and partners,

We are all aware that people and experienced teams make the difference, so we persevere in forming and attracting best talent. Eight new people so far joined us this year reinforcing our teams in France, Spain and China to ensure we can improve our services and solutions offered to you.

We have created new services to meet the needs expressed by users:

  • Authentication of elecworks license: now a user can check on our website and validate that his license is authentic by visiting our site to verify the information contained therein:
    http://support.trace-software.com/Pages/Authentication/authenticate.aspx
    This tells him that the license number is valid or not and possibly provides the name of the technical contact.
  • Our site also permits checking personnel certification information by certification type and number.
    Access is through this same http://support.trace-software.com/Pages/Authentication/authenticate.aspx page.
    The certificate indicates the name of the trainee, course type and the training date.
  • The next establishment of an 800 phone number to access the technical support.
We love hearing from you! Please do not hesitate to keep up communication.

To your success!

Dr Pedro Puig. Managing Director Trace Software International

A new solution for photovoltaic installers is now available and perfectly complements the existing solution solar calc™. This is the Archelios software, a simulation and photovoltaic study software to calculate solar radiation, the layout, the calculation of masks, efficiency and profitability. With an export function to solar calc, it can be used to complement solar calc™ for complete PV system sizing.
This solution is only available in French for now but will be adapted to the international market. Some information is posted on our website (but in French only):
