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

Begin by crafting an initial design that details the module and inverter setup alongside the overall layout. Transition this to a permit-ready design by utilizing a streamlined 4-step wizard. Define the installation area through the use of aerial images or by importing a 3D model from services such as EagleView or RoofOrders. With the aid of SolarDesignTool, you can efficiently develop a photovoltaic system design and produce a solar permit package in merely 15 minutes. This permit package will encompass various essential documents, including a project summary, site plan, single-line diagram, PV safety labels, plan(s) for attachments, specifics for support racking systems, a fire safety plan, equipment specifications, and relevant certifications. Once the PV system design is finalized, generating the solar permit package can be accomplished with just a click of a button, allowing for a seamless transition to the necessary documentation process. For a standard residential sloped rooftop employing a widely-used racking system, the permit package will contain all the aforementioned documents, ensuring compliance and readiness for installation.
