FLEXIBILITY AT ITS CORE

Meet and exceed your client expectations

pvDesign helps engineering businesses getting their job done faster. It allows you and your team to handle to your clients 300+ pages of technical documentation and a rock solid energy yield in minutes.

Either if your task is prospecting new sites or fulfilling basic or detailed engineering, pvDesign software helps speeding up time-to-design and reduce LCOE. Algorithms and set of adjustable variables maximize energy production and minimize construction costs.

The bigger, the better

Unlike one-size-fits-all apps, pvDesign's algorithms are coded for you to get a highly accurate outcome for 1+MW ground mounted PV plants.

Head-to-toe

Start with a land file and get a comprehensive engineering docs pack without jumping up and down between apps. From layout or electrical reports to energy yield and LCOE. Ready to your off-taker.

Ready player one

Tying software to your computer is so 1999. Unlike desktop apps, pvDesign plans are packed with unlimited users. Just use your corporate employee directory or send invites to your teammates.

Substation engineering

Automatically design the basic engineering of the step-up substation of your PV plant. Get a complete SLD and a fully detailed report based on your inputs.

Lives in the cloud

Say bye to manually updating your plugins. Our development team deploys new features twice a week. And you get them in no time. Just logging in your favourite browser.

Tailored for solar PV

By gathering accurate irradiance data, the LCOE for your ground-mounted PV project is solid.

From a plot of land to your client's yielding in a bliss

The design interface guides you through the steps to get your plant proposal documents. Rely on algorithmic calculations or fine-tune their results to get your desired outcome.

Serve customers better at scale

Our team of specialists is happy to answer your questions and show you pvDesign first-hand.
