Use cases

Maximize DC while still achieving a buildable layout

Optimize your PV solar layouts by minimizing DC power losses from electrical blocking, road placement, and tracker alignment to achieve practical and buildable designs.

This analysis gives you a clearer picture of the trade-offs and helps you design more efficient and buildable solar systems.

Choosing the best option from an energy standpoint

Make smarter decisions about your solar layout’s energy production. Evaluate different design scenarios and their potential energy outputs based on your criteria. Optimize your layout upfront and save on costly adjustments.

Improvements

Boundaries based on NS slope

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that allows you to create multiple boundaries based on North-South terrain slopes. This enhancement makes it easier to define and manage layout areas following the existing terrain, improving the accuracy and efficiency of your solar farm designs. Streamline your workflow and optimize your layout with this new feature!

Cut-Fill improvement

We've upgraded our cut-fill algorithms to deliver more realistic grading values. This update ensures your cut-and-fill estimates better match real-world practice. Get more reliable earthworks calculations with our latest improvements!

And many more enhancements to improve your overall experience 🚀
