About 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.

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.

Scanifly
98% of solar professionals conduct a technical onsite survey before construction; over 50% do so before closing a sale. With current methods, solar companies still spend hours using ladders and hand-measuring rooftops, which slows down pipelines, hurts accuracy, and increases safety risks. Scanifly’s solar design software uses drone technology and 3D modeling tools to eliminate roof climbs, decrease onsite time by up to 90%, and increase design accuracy to avoid redesigns, change orders, or delays on install day. Ladders, tape measures, handwritten notes, and handheld shading equipment can lead to inaccuracies, errors, and guesswork. Drones and 3D modeling software streamline the process while improving time, safety, and design accuracy. Take pictures with your drone (JPEGs) to digitize the project's characteristics. Automatically create to-scale 3D models of proposed sites.
