Problem
Designing utility‑scale solar farms traditionally requires time‑intensive manual calculations, CAD plugins, and multiple engineering iterations, leading to delays and uncertainty in cost, yield, and constructability.
Solution
AutoPV offers a standalone SaaS platform that automates the entire solar farm design workflow. By applying proven design algorithms, the software generates engineering‑grade, construction‑ready layouts in seconds. Users can create, edit, and compare multiple configurations for each megawatt, evaluating cost, energy yield, and buildability without leaving the platform. A built‑in OEM equipment database streamlines component selection, while export functions provide DWG and XLS files for schedules, bills of quantities, and CAD drawings. The result is rapid, repeatable designs that maintain engineering precision and reduce reliance on external CAD tools.
Target Audience
Primary users are solar engineers, project developers, and EPC firms that need fast, accurate, and buildable designs for utility‑scale photovoltaic projects.
