SolarDesignTool Description
You can create a preliminary design by specifying both the inverter configurations and the layout. A quick 4-step wizard will help you transform your design into a permit-ready design. You can define the location using aerial imagery, or an imported 3D model from EagleView and RoofOrders. SolarDesignTool allows you to create a PV system design in just 15 minutes. A permit package contains the following pages: site plan, project summary, single-line diagram and PV safety labels. It also includes attachment plans for supported racking systems. Fire safety plan, datasheets, certifications, and attachment details. It takes only one button to generate a solar permit package after completing a PV system layout. A typical PV permit package for residential sloped roofs will include all the pages listed above.
SolarDesignTool Alternatives
SunDAT
Web-based PV design for commercial and utility-scale solar. Our innovative, patent-pending system for determining layout optimizes Ground Coverage Ratio. It also helps engineer higher yields on rugged terrain. You can handle complex boundaries and obstructions easily. SunDAT automates workflows and increases efficiency in your design process. This feature allows you flag areas in a solar array layout that require grade or avoidance, or areas that exceed a certain slope tolerance. You can also view heatmaps and export them to PVsyst. Additionally, you can calculate pile length. SunDAT allows you to export project data in multiple formats, such as PDF, DXF, and DAE. This allows you to import your design into AutoCAD or PVsyst to continue design and analysis. SunDAT Web software optimizes large scale utility and commercial PV design. SunDAT Web software can help you design a 150MW utility-scale rooftop solar system or a 2MW commercial rooftop solar system.

PVcase
PVcase Ground Mount is an AutoCAD-based software that allows you to design solar power plants at utility scale. It allows solar engineers to reduce project costs and increase reliability while improving solar plant performance. Realistic, terrain-based PV layouts can reduce project uncertainty and eliminate design errors. Great solar designs can be ruined by poor CAPEX. Get a clear breakdown of the project costs early. Optimize your design and assess potential near-shading issues. Streamline your electrical design by streamlining string mapping and device placement. You can easily download and share cable runs, piling lengths and other cost estimates with your team. PVsyst allows you to export your PV design in a custom format.

Scanifly
98% of solar professionals conduct an onsite survey before starting construction. More than half do it before closing a deal. Solar companies still use ladders and hand-measuring rooftops to complete their current surveys. This slows down the process, increases safety risks, and reduces accuracy. Scanifly's software for solar design uses drone technology and 3D modeling tools. This allows you to eliminate roof climbs and reduce onsite time by upto 90%. It also increases design accuracy and prevents redesigns, change orders, delays, and delays on the day of installation. Inaccuracies, errors and guesswork can be caused by handwritten notes, tape measures, handheld shading equipment, and handwritten notes. Drones and 3D modelling software simplify the process and improve safety, time, and design accuracy. To digitize project characteristics, take photos with your drone (JPEGs). Automatically create 3D models of the proposed sites.
