本研究以LabVIEW為平台，開發一套太陽能系統模擬軟體，軟體主要功能分為四個部分:太陽能板參數計算、發電量模擬、遮陰模擬以及Converter後端接線建議，由軟體所計算出上列各部分的結果，提供使用者可靠的數據來評估效益。
本軟體可由太陽能實驗特性曲線，找出任意型號的太陽能板參數，便可模擬出任意太陽能板在不同擺放位置的發電功率，並納入分散式與集中式兩種不同的架構，計算系統在不同架構下的發電結果。軟體的主要功能除了系統發電量估算，還可針對分散式系統Converter後端輸出電壓的問題，提出安裝建議，增加系統的穩定性。
使用LabVIEW軟體的好處在於其人性化的操作介面，使用者可以輕易地操作軟體，由按鍵與彈跳視窗的搭配，使用者可以按部就班的完成設定；布林燈號的顯示情形，可告知使用者此時軟體運作的步驟為何；最後由圖表顯示計算結果，可清楚地比較模擬的結果，並且由下拉式選單，選取欲查詢的資訊。

The purpose of the research is developing a solar system simulating software on LabVIEW. The software is mainly used in 4 aspects: calculating the solar panel parameter, simulating the generating capacity, simulating the shade and providing the wiring advice at the end of converter. The software provides the users trustworthy data to estimate the profits by the result, which is based on the calculation of the mentioned aspects.
The software is able to find the solar panel parameter for any model from the characteristics curve of the solar experiment, so that it is capable of simulating the generating capacity rate of putting any solar panel at various positions. Furthermore, it contains two different structures, Distributed photovoltaic system and Concentrated photovoltaic system, to acquire the generating outcome of the system in different structure. The software not only calculates the generating capacity of the system, but also gives the installation advice of output voltage at the end of converter for Distributed photovoltaic system. It increases the stability of the system.
The advantage of using LabVIEW is the user can easily operate the software through its humanized surface. Due to the combination of click and the bouncing windows, the user can accomplish the setting step by step. The Boolean shows the progress of working stage to the user. Eventually, the user can distinctly compare the simulation on the diagram and choose the required information from drop -down menu.
