In response to the growing demand rooted in our software's BIM-centric approach, we're thrilled to introduce the ability to import layouts directly from AutoCAD. While there's a bit of pre-processing involved, the benefits far outweigh the initial setup. This feature's core aim is to empower users to assess external designs and make modifications to existing layouts, enabling a seamless transition between design exploration and analysis.

The evolution of PVFARM takes another leap forward. While our initial app focused predominantly on capacity analysis and allowed decisions based largely on the cost model, our newly introduced Energy Model broadens the horizon. Though we have yet to incorporate the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) as a comparison metric, the groundwork laid by the Energy Model paves the way for this invaluable addition in the near future, ensuring that users are well-equipped for comprehensive decision-making.

Slice and dice your design with ease using our new Subareas functionality. It empowers users to effortlessly combine multiple configurations within a single layout. Here’s what you can achieve:

Subareas ensure that your layout is not just efficient, but also tailored to your unique needs.

Crafted with an eye toward constructibility, our PVFARM designs are not just easy to create, they are easy to build as well. When populating layouts with trackers, we utilize 1:1, detailed 3D models to represent trackers from leading manufacturers. These frames are meticulously assembled with specific module dimensions, ensuring mounting hardware and pile positions are accurately represented for precision and constructibility.

Seamlessly view all your team's projects at a glance, complete with engaging screenshots, concise layout metrics, insightful descriptions, and the name of the individual driving each project forward. With everything intuitively arranged, it's easier than ever to navigate, collaborate, and stay informed.

Our Cut&Fill algorithm has undergone significant upgrades to offer more comprehensive grading capabilities. It can now adeptly manage grading for:

Our early adopter program users have contributed tremendously to support these improvements. Thanks to our partners for their help delivering unprecedented dependability for this critical segment of PVFARM.

We've enriched our MV wiring capabilities to grant users an even greater degree of control. You can now:

These improvements provide users with incredible flexibility and tuning and the industry-leading performance you’ve come to expect from PVFARM.

Navigating your layout just became more flexible. We're excited to introduce two distinct types of roads:

Users can now tailor their designs by setting different road widths and defining the 'glass to glass' distance uniquely for each road type.

Some of the exciting things our users are exploring:
