If you know what you are doing in general, HOMER can help you to size and evaluate the performance of a known system or systems. You can compare different set ups, but you have to have the information to input from the manufacturer. With that in mind, most manufacturers or contractors will design the final system for you.
Here is the website for HOMER

Hope you find it useful.
