Solar professionals, designers and engineers in search of a solar design solution in 3D

About SunDAT

Web-based PV design for utility-scale and commercial solar. Our innovative, patented system for determining layout optimizes Ground Coverage Ratio (GCR) and helps engineer enhanced yields on rough terrain. Handle complex boundaries and obstructions with ease. Automate workflows and increase the efficiency of your design process with SunDAT. This feature allows you to identify areas that are beyond a certain slope tolerance or flag areas within a solar array layout that need to be graded or avoided. You can also visualize heatmaps, export them to PVsyst, and perform pile length calculations. SunDAT enables you to export your project data in multiple formats like PDF, DXF and DAE. This allows your design to be imported to programs like AutoCAD and PVsyst for continued design and analysis. SunDAT Web software optimizes large-scale utility and commercial PV design. Whether you are designing a 150MW utility-scale ground mount or a 2 MW commercial rooftop solar system, SunDAT will do it.

System Advisor Model (SAM)

Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftops to large utility-scale systems. Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel. Power purchase agreement (PPA) projects where the system is connected to the grid at an interconnection point, and the project earns revenue through power sales. The project may be owned and operated by a single owner or by a partnership involving a flip or leaseback arrangement. Third-party ownership is where the system is installed on the customer's (host) property and owned by a separate entity (developer), and the host is compensated for power generated by the system through either a PPA or lease agreement.

PVCAD Mega

Quickly complete site capacity layouts for utility-scale projects of any size using click-and-drag control and place tracker blocks at any angle within the project site. Perform more accurate site assessments in less time by analyzing all piers, verifying that trackers can be deployed to specification. Eliminate guesswork and see how modifying structural and electrical components affect system design and performance estimates. Generate automatic pier plans with pier locations, corresponding surface altitude, and top-of-pile reports for leading tracker systems, including Nextracker and Array Technologies. Automatically generate a PVSyst shade scene (.SHD) file. Also generates a project file (.PRJ) and meteo file (.MET). Open the files in PVSyst to model the energy yield including topography effects. Easily export your design to PVSyst for bankable energy yield modelling.

SolarDesignTool

Create a preliminary design by specifying the module and inverter configuration and the layout. Upgrade the design to a permit-ready design by completing a quick 4-step wizard. Define the installation site using aerial imagery or an imported 3D model from EagleView or RoofOrders. With SolarDesignTool, you can create a PV system design and generate a solar permit package in as little as 15 minutes. A permit package includes the following pages: project summary, site plan, single-line diagram, PV safety labels, attachment plan(s), attachment details for supported racking systems, fire safety plan, equipment datasheets, and certifications. After completing a PV system design, generating a solar permit package is as simple as clicking a single button. A PV permit package for a typical residential sloped rooftop using a popular racking system will include all of the pages listed above.
