The Customer

Learn more about Radiance Solar

Radiance Solar is a high-growth, mid-sized EPC based in the United States with over 16 years of industry experience. Specializing in projects ranging from 1 MW to 30 MW, the company manages the entire project lifecycle — from in-house design to final construction. By prioritizing engineering precision, Radiance Solar has established itself as a leader in delivering complex solar assets in a highly competitive market.

Challenges

Fragmented workflows, rework traps, and thin margins

Radiance Solar faced the industry's toughest reality: a cost-sensitive market where margins are thin and soft costs can make up roughly 60% of project CAPEX. Any inefficiency in the design phase — from data loss to manual errors — leads to the rework trap that eats into returns.

The manual bottleneck

Engineering teams were previously doing everything manually, including setting up blocks for modules and virtually counting every piece of equipment.

The rework trap

Transitioning from conceptual designs to construction-ready engineering often created inefficiencies and manual errors that led to hidden expenses.

Technology volatility

Solar modules change frequently in the industry, and redrawing everything from the beginning under old workflows caused significant delays.

Fragmented software

Relying on non-solar-specific tools or generic CAD platforms built for other industries created bottlenecks in highly complex engineering tasks.

”PVcase helped us cut engineering timelines with more accurate drawings and BOMs — so we can lay out projects faster and get answers back to customers quickly.”

Solution

Unified AutoCAD native workflows to accelerate engineering

Radiance Solar consolidated its entire design lifecycle within the AutoCAD ecosystem leveraging PVcase Ground Mount. This integration has enabled the team to maintain continuity from the 30% design savings set through to final construction documentation.

Automated layout and boundary constraints

Instead of engineers spending days on manual layouts, PVcase uses defined boundaries and setbacks to generate optimal results within hours.

Dynamic module iterations

When module types change, Radiance Solar simply updates the setup in PVcase to generate a new layout instantly, rather than redrawing from scratch.

Precision stringing and cabling

The team replaced "guesstimated" manual labor with automated stringing that provides much more accurate accounts and lengths.

Topo-aware design

Radiance Solar utilizes topographic layouts within the software to see exactly where they are with a project and what needs to be done to ensure buildability.

Results

Scaling operations 30% faster without adding headcount

By implementing PVcase Ground Mount, Radiance Solar eliminated the guesswork from site assessment and accelerated their production end.

30% faster design cycles

Radiance Solar achieved a 30% reduction in design time compared to "the old ways" of copying blocks and manual stringing.

Enhanced engineering confidence

Automation freed up the team to concentrate on detailed drawings rather than wasting time on manual connections and layouts.

Seamless scalability

Whether a project is 1 MW or 30 MW, PVcase enables Radiance Solar to maintain a fast timeline because the software handles the increased layout work automatically.

Improved project bankability

By generating accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) and detailed reports quickly, Radiance Solar provides better results and timely answers to clients.

”It sped up our layouts and stringing, and eliminated a lot of manual connection work — that’s where we saved the most time.”
