About

PVGround is a solar design platform delivered as AutoCAD and ZWCAD plugins for ground-mounted (PVGround) and rooftop (PVRoof) PV projects. PVGround reads terrain from the drawing to lay out panels, calculates how many MWp fit at different row spacings, analyzes shading including fences and trees, plans DC, AC and HV cable routes in 3D, groups pile lengths with tonnage, calculates cut and fill earthworks, and verifies the design with cross-sections. PVRoof models roof geometry, slope and orientation and places panels automatically or manually with shading analysis. Designs export to PVsyst, Excel, PDF and DXF. WebView shares a finished design through a token: reviewers open the 3D project (terrain, modules, piles, structures), live shading and read-only performance results (annual production, specific yield, PR) in any browser on phone, tablet or laptop, with no AutoCAD or license needed, while your DWG stays with you. 14-day free trial available.

About

In 2009, our founder and CEO Lambros Kaliakatsos, a civil engineer and software developer, saw firsthand how much rework designing without real-world data costs. So he built Plex-Earth: the first cloud-based SaaS tool in the CAD market, connecting AutoCAD directly to Google Earth. It became the original AutoCAD + Google Earth plugin, and it changed how engineers work every day. Today, Plex-Earth brings satellite and historical imagery, terrain, and two-way KML functionality into your drawing. From basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, and custom WMS/WMTS map connections, to premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor, plus terrain data from GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM sources, Plex-Earth is trusted by thousands of engineers across civil, solar, telecom, infrastructure, and beyond to design faster, smarter, and with real-world accuracy. Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D & BricsCAD.
