Solar professionals, designers and engineers in search of a solar design solution in 3D
About SunDAT
Web-based PV design for utility-scale and commercial solar. Our innovative, patented system for determining layout optimizes Ground Coverage Ratio (GCR) and helps engineer enhanced yields on rough terrain. Handle complex boundaries and obstructions with ease. Automate workflows and increase the efficiency of your design process with SunDAT. This feature allows you to identify areas that are beyond a certain slope tolerance or flag areas within a solar array layout that need to be graded or avoided. You can also visualize heatmaps, export them to PVsyst, and perform pile length calculations. SunDAT enables you to export your project data in multiple formats like PDF, DXF and DAE. This allows your design to be imported to programs like AutoCAD and PVsyst for continued design and analysis. SunDAT Web software optimizes large-scale utility and commercial PV design. Whether you are designing a 150MW utility-scale ground mount or a 2 MW commercial rooftop solar system, SunDAT will do it.

Glint Solar
Glint Solar is a cloud-based platform for early-stage utility-scale solar project site analysis, design, and development that helps developers and multidisciplinary teams screen, prioritize, and assess thousands of potential solar locations with integrated GIS and topographic data, satellite imagery, engineering-approved yield and feasibility tools, and 3D visualizations so they can evaluate buildable areas, mark exclusion zones, grid connections, and generate professional visuals that support permitting, stakeholder engagement, and internal decisions; it centralizes project data in a shared workspace to improve team collaboration between business development, GIS, and engineering, reduces wasted development hours on unviable sites, and accelerates project pipelines by enabling quick scenario updates and accurate reporting without relying on disparate tools or manual processes.

PVCAD Mega
Quickly complete site capacity layouts for utility-scale projects of any size using click-and-drag control and place tracker blocks at any angle within the project site. Perform more accurate site assessments in less time by analyzing all piers, verifying that trackers can be deployed to specification. Eliminate guesswork and see how modifying structural and electrical components affect system design and performance estimates. Generate automatic pier plans with pier locations, corresponding surface altitude, and top-of-pile reports for leading tracker systems, including Nextracker and Array Technologies. Automatically generate a PVSyst shade scene (.SHD) file. Also generates a project file (.PRJ) and meteo file (.MET). Open the files in PVSyst to model the energy yield including topography effects. Easily export your design to PVSyst for bankable energy yield modelling.

PVGround
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.
