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. Book a demo to see the software in action.
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.
What is PVcase’s Capacity Iteration feature?

PVcase Capacity Iteration is a feature that allows developers to try out many design scenarios simultaneously to find the best one faster. It can accommodate up to 100 scenarios, but it will depend on your CPU's speed and number of cores, just how long it takes.
What does PVcase Single Line Diagram (SLD) feature offer?

PVcase’s Single Line Diagram (SLD) feature offers a schematic, showing the layout of all electrical components on the rooftop PV projects. The SLD includes labels, modules per string, inverters, MPPT connections, and cable lengths from string to inverter. SLD button can be found in the 'Cabling' tab on PVcase Roof Mount.
