PVcase Spring Product Updates: Capacity & Electrical Design

The PVcase Spring updates introduce new AI-powered features in PVcase Prospect, including a Data Center Community Sentiment Layer for mapping local public opinion, a grayscale basemap for clearer presentations, and capacity search by total cost to streamline site selection, while PVcase Ground Mount adds a preliminary electrical design beta workflow with automated power station placement, automated cable sizing for safety and distance, and custom shading options for terrain-adaptive modeling, collectively enhancing efficiency from site acquisition to electrical design.

The updates at a glance

PVcase Prospect

  • Data Center Sentiment Layer: Uses AI to map local public opinion.
  • Grayscale Basemap: Provides a professional backdrop for stakeholder presentations.
  • Capacity Search by Total Cost: Enables filtering by total upgrade exposure/costs.

PVcase Ground Mount

  • Preliminary Electrical Design Beta Workflow: Uses algorithms to automate power station placement.
  • Automated Cable Sizing: Automatically selects conductors based on safety and distance.
  • Custom Shading Options: Allows for terrain-adaptive modeling of complex shading objects.

Spring updates are here for PVcase Prospect and PVcase Ground Mount. These new features help you streamline from site selection to electrical design — empowering you to reduce risk, keep data consistent, and move projects forward faster.

PVcase Prospect

Data Center Community Sentiment Layer

Move your data center site acquisition forward by identifying the path of least resistance. With the new Data Center Community Sentiment Layer, U.S. developers can proactively identify community concerns like noise and water usage before they commit. This AI-powered layer geolocates news and municipal records, mapping local public opinion so you can avoid high-friction zones and skip weeks of manual research.

Grayscale Basemap

Ditch the cluttered labels and business markers. Our new high-contrast, neutral basemap provides a professional, distraction-free backdrop, allowing your data to take center stage — perfect for stakeholder presentations and high-stakes permitting paperwork.

Capacity Search by Total Cost

Stop guessing at interconnection costs. You can now filter POIs by total upgrade exposure directly with PVcase Prospect capacity data. Identify viable greenfield sites faster by viewing total costs rather than just shared allocations.

PVcase Ground Mount

Preliminary Electrical Design Beta Workflow

Turn design complexity into automated engineering clarity and eliminate the guesswork in site footprinting. Our new geometrical algorithms intelligently position power stations to minimize voltage drops and cable lengths, delivering a bankable, high-yield layout in seconds.

Automated Cable Sizing

Automatically select conductors based on distance, safety standards, and real-world conditions. This tool ensures industry compliance while slashing material expenditure and lowering your overall Balance of System (BOS) costs.

Custom Shading Options

Obtain precise, terrain-adaptive modeling. Integrate complex shading objects — Single, Continuous, Batch, or Polyline — that snap directly to your site’s topography. No manual rework, no bottlenecks, just 100% accuracy on challenging ground.

Please note: These features are available starting with version 2.59. Be sure to update PVcase Ground Mount to access them.
