Design solar PV systems with clarity and control.

Bring rooftop layouts, module placement, electrical stringing, cable routing and engineering calculations into a connected AutoCAD workflow.

A look at PVDesigner in AutoCAD

An integrated workflow

From rooftop geometry to electrical detail.

PVDesigner brings together the CAD tasks that would otherwise require repetitive manual drafting.

◈

Roof & module layouts

Plan roof areas, place PV modules and account for obstacles and orientations.

⌁

Stringing & electrical

Allocate inverters, develop MPPT strings and document circuit connectivity.

╱

DC routing & tray

Design cable pathways, tray sections and fittings within the drawing.

∑

Cable calculations

Review current-carrying capacity and voltage drop with calculation summaries.

⬡

3D & shading

Visualise roof and module geometry and analyse solar shading.

▤

Schedules & output

Support engineering documentation with exported data and presentation views.
