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

Powerlily serves as an integrated solar operating system that consolidates design, proposals, customer relationship management, permitting, field operations, invoicing, and fleet oversight within a unified platform. This system guides customers from initial engagement through design, sales, installation, and ongoing service without the need to recreate the same project across various tools. Teams have the ability to capture and qualify leads, maintain attribution, oversee solar-specific pipelines, and automate follow-ups based on real-time events. The platform's live 3D design feature accommodates roof, ground, carport, and commercial array configurations, incorporating stringing, setbacks, shading considerations, and an extensive 8,760-hour per-panel production simulation. Moreover, its battery analysis capability links usage patterns, tariffs, incentives, and financing options to detailed hour-by-hour storage behavior and overall long-term value. Powerlily also has the capacity to generate editable single-line diagrams, coordinated permit-ready plan sets, customized proposals, e-signatures, invoices, and field schedules from a singular project record, thereby streamlining the entire workflow. This comprehensive approach enhances efficiency and collaboration across all stages of the solar project lifecycle.
