Description

For solar designers seeking the utmost in precision and accuracy, PVCAD offers unmatched efficiency, allowing for quicker finalization of designs and job quotes. By utilizing the design criteria from PVCAD’s extensive integrated databases, users can save precious time while minimizing the risk of expensive errors and omissions. Our continuously expanding database includes thousands of inverters, modules, and racking partners, and users can conveniently add their own equipment via the database button located in the PVCAD ribbon. Are you interested in having your equipment included in our growing database? PVCAD leverages production modeling from PVWATTS, a tool developed by NREL, to provide accurate 8760 data that details hour-by-hour production throughout the entire year. With the most current weather data sourced globally from Meteonorm, designers can trust the reliability of their models. Additionally, the capability to model in AutoCAD ensures that users achieve the most precise system measurements available in any drafting software. With such valuable resources readily accessible, designers are empowered to produce expert-quality results, elevating their projects to new heights. This comprehensive approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters confidence in the final outcomes.

Description

PVGround is a comprehensive solar design tool available as plugins for AutoCAD and ZWCAD, catering to both ground-mounted (PVGround) and rooftop (PVRoof) photovoltaic projects. This platform efficiently interprets terrain from drawings to strategically position solar panels, determines the megawatt capacity based on varying row spacings, and conducts shading analysis that accounts for obstacles like trees and fences. Additionally, it facilitates the planning of DC, AC, and HV cable routes in three dimensions, organizes pile lengths in correlation with tonnage, computes earthwork requirements for cutting and filling, and validates designs through cross-sectional evaluations. Meanwhile, PVRoof focuses on roof geometry by modeling slope and orientation, allowing for both automatic and manual panel placement while performing shading assessments. Users can export their designs to formats such as PVsyst, Excel, PDF, and DXF. Furthermore, the WebView feature enables users to share their completed designs via a token, allowing reviewers to access the 3D models of terrain, modules, piles, and structures, alongside live shading and read-only performance metrics (annual production, specific yield, and performance ratio) from any browser on devices like phones, tablets, or laptops without requiring AutoCAD or a license, ensuring that your DWG files remain secure. Prospective users can take advantage of a 14-day complimentary trial to explore the platform's capabilities.
