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

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.
