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

Perfect for 3D site planning, calculations of stockpile volumes, surveying of mines, quantity takeoffs, designing pads and ponds, geological mapping, surface contouring and visualization, and landfill site planning. It offers features such as surveying, coordinate geometry, image editing, digital terrain modeling, contour generation, volume and earthwork assessments, design, grading, visualization, and the production of reports. Users can create surface models using extensive LiDAR and UAV datasets with precision. The system allows for full control over point data thinning, enabling thinning to polygons, corridors, coordinate regions, or outer regions. It supports the import and management of diverse survey and file formats, including total station, LiDAR, ASCII, DWG, DGN, USGS DEM, LandXML, and various image formats like TIFF, BMP, and JPG. Additionally, total station data can be incorporated with automatic management of linear features, breaklines, and symbology. Users can also access georeferenced background imagery through our Live Maps tool, enhancing the overall mapping experience. This comprehensive software is invaluable for professionals in fields requiring accurate spatial analysis and design.
