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.

Description

RatedPower, a part of Enverus, is a powerful SaaS platform that simplifies the development of utility-scale solar, BESS, and hybrid energy systems. It guides users through every phase—from site identification to final engineering design—making it a go-to solution for developers, engineers, and analysts in renewables. With RatedPower, users can assess and filter viable land using advanced geospatial data, including energy pricing and grid infrastructure. It supports topographic analysis and helps design solar layouts that consider terrain, interconnection options, and engineering standards. The platform generates bankable energy yield reports, SLDs, and Gen-Tie documentation essential for permitting and financing. For battery energy storage projects, RatedPower enables both standalone and integrated system designs. Tools for sizing and layout optimization help ensure cost-effective and technically sound configurations. During detailed design, teams can simulate and compare multiple configurations based on GCR, DC/AC ratios, and cost. RatedPower also enhances collaboration by allowing the export of reports and 3D layouts compatible with tools like PVsyst, ensuring smooth handoffs between teams and stakeholders. It’s a complete, user-friendly solution that accelerates renewable project timelines with precision and collaboration at its core.
