Solar solutions for EPC | PVcase
PVcase offers advanced 3D solar design solutions for EPCs that optimize project margins and construction certainty by addressing challenges like layout adjustments, design optimization, accurate system design, and reliable BoM generation, using proprietary grid intelligence and precise energy yield calculations to reduce hidden costs and improve profitability in utility-scale PV projects.
Optimize project margins and construction certainty
Transform field risk into profit with precise, buildable designs that cut hidden costs and protect your margins.
The cost of 2D engineering in a 3D world
EPC profitability is won or lost in the field. Every change order, material overage, and surprise earthwork cost chips away at your margins. The real culprit? Oversimplified engineering tools that overlook on-site realities.
Key challenges for EPCs
Layout adjustments and efficient fine-tuning
Changing site conditions require fast, accurate design updates — manual edits often overlook key constraints and introduce costly errors.
Design optimization
Maximizing solar output and minimizing costs is complex — manual methods often fall short and overlook key opportunities.
Accurate and efficient system design
Creating precise and optimized utility-scale PV system layouts can be time-consuming, especially when working with complex terrains and various technical constraints.
Proper Bill of Materials (BoM) generation and cost estimation
Producing reliable BoMs and detailed cost estimates often involves manual calculations and multiple software tools, increasing the risk of mistakes and delays.
The PVcase solution
Platform
Go beyond simple proximity mapping. Instantly access proprietary grid intelligence and cost estimates to filter thousands of parcels down to the few with low-risk POIs.
Prospect
Go beyond simple proximity mapping. Instantly access proprietary grid intelligence and cost estimates to filter thousands of parcels down to the few with low-risk POIs.
Ground Mount
Go beyond simple proximity mapping. Instantly access proprietary grid intelligence and cost estimates to filter thousands of parcels down to the few with low-risk POIs.
Yield
Calculate energy performance based on the final, engineered 3D geometry, not simplified estimates. This fidelity provides the highest P90 confidence required for favorable debt terms and due diligence.
Why choose PVcase?
Guarantee earthwork certainty
Deliver accurate cut-and-fill analysis by modeling table placement against complex 3D terrain. Your earthwork bids are based on engineered reality, not simplified terrain assumptions that create change order exposure.
Eliminate procurement errors
Achieve a synchronized, detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) directly from the final, CAD-accurate design, streamlining procurement and reducing material overages or shortages.
Maximize design throughput
Automate the generation of construction-ready drawings, stringing plans, and MV block layouts, accelerating the handoff from engineering to the field by weeks.
Accelerate design processes
Automate complex layouts and engineering with PVcase Ground Mount — get precise designs, shading analysis, and BOMs in minutes. Free your team from manual work, deliver faster, and maximize project profitability.
Client experience
“With PVcase, electrical design and bill of quantities allow us to get much more precise data in a fraction of the time.”
— Mário Gonçalves, CAD Design Team Coordinator at Voltalia
“I estimate that we save more than 50% of the time... for very large plants, PVcase is indispensable.”
— Sergio de la Torre, Strategic Transactions Engineering Lead, Sonnedix
“The Capacity Iteration feature drastically reduces drafting time by allowing us to test different scenarios and find viable design alternatives quickly. I can run 4-5 different yield models simultaneously while working on layouts... allowing for real-time design iteration.”
— Phil Hofmeyer, Design Engineering Manager, New Leaf Energy
