PV plant design and engineering from siting to offtake

Solar software for utility-scale plants

80% of PV projects never become commercial operations. Lack of efficiency has become an existential risk for solar developers. Solar PV software delivers the efficiency your company needs to maximize returns and pipeline —and minimize risk and LCOE. It allows you to:



  • Prospect sites efficiently

  • Find the best electrical and equipment configuration

  • Easily download your interconnection process documentation

  • Quote projects with accurate BoM, CAPEX and LCOE

  • Get project capacity and energy yield estimates while designing

  • Hybridize your plant with BESS

Increase your solar asset profitability by 20% and reduce LCOE with PV system design software

Unlock the potential and boost productivity of your development and engineering teams across the entire PV project lifecycle stage.

Prospect sites efficiently


  • Site selection

    • Find the prime parcel to place your solar project. Easily input the polygon and equipment specs to start your layout.



  • Topography and cut-and-fill analysis

    • Upload your own topography data and perform cut-and-fill analysis. Quickly identify how terrain affects your layout.



  • Built-in solar irradiance data

    • Get an accurate and bankable energy yield estimate by connecting to premium or free solar irradiance data.



PV site prospecting

Quickly model your layout


  • Energy production estimates

    • Get bankable energy yield estimates while designing your PV system.



  • Streamlined interconnection engineering

    • Size the facility according to global interconnection standards. Download comprehensive SLD and Gen-Tie reports.



  • Add storage to your solar plant

    • Hybridize your solar plant by including a battery energy storage system. Optimize its capacity and download basic engineering documentation for feasibility studies.



PV modeling
PV modeling

Quote your project accurately


  • Fine-tune your project with batch designs

    • Easily find the best PV system design by bulk simulation. Optimize it through pitch distance and DC/AC ratio.



  • Compare your plant simulations


    • Order designs by key metrics that matter to you the most, such as energy production, cost, GCR, or equipment.



  • Handoff to peers or off-takers


    • Download editable reports, drawings, and 3D shading scenes ready to use in PVsyst. Incorporate your teammates at later stages of the project lifecycle.
