About PVSketch

PVSketch is an intuitive web app designed to streamline solar project development. A friendly interface allows sales professionals easy access to a precision layout tool with little or no training. PVSketch helps visualize solar energy solutions and creates accurate energy modeling. PVSketch is part of the PVComplete platform. PVComplete allows solar developers, installers and engineers to work together on a single, versatile platform combining efficiency and accuracy. Sales professionals can begin a project quickly online with PVSketch and then transfer the project to PVCAD, our AutoCAD plugin, for a detailed engineering plan. PVSketch makes solar design simple. As little as five clicks and you can create a solar project packed with valuable information. Simple and instinctive drawing tools make accurate solar design accessible to any individual. While a single click can generate an entire layout if you dig deeper you can refine your solar design to create sophisticated designs.

SolarDesignTool
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.
