FAQs

Why do PVcase Ground Mount and Roof Mount work on AutoCAD?

PVcase Ground Mount and Roof Mount work on AutoCAD because this integration allows solar developers to use a well-known platform with enhanced solar-specific functionalities for a detailed solar design. Moreover, AutoCAD is a robust platform, providing an intuitive experience for developers while designing PV projects.

Why is detailed solar design important?

Detailed solar design is important because it ensures that all aspects of the solar project are optimized for maximum efficiency and performance. It helps solar developers and engineers identify issues early in the process, reduce costs, and improve project reliability.

How does PVcase Ground Mount use LIDAR data?

PVcase Ground Mount uses LIDAR data to create accurate topographical maps, enabling precise placement and alignment of solar panels. It ensures optimal energy production and efficient land use. Users can import the LIDAR data into PVcase Ground Mount in the form of 3D point data.

What is PVcase Ground Mount Terrain-following Tracker feature?

PVcase Ground Mount’s terrain-following Tracker is a feature that allows placing solar panels based on the terrain’s contours. It maximizes energy capture with the tracking functionality, reduces earth movement costs, and improves overall system efficiency.
