Unify solar development in a single platform
The PVcase platform unifies the entire solar project lifecycle—from site selection to engineering and performance modeling—into a single automated environment that eliminates data silos, manual handoffs, and version control issues, thereby accelerating collaboration, improving data consistency, and significantly reducing time to notice to proceed (NTP).
Solar project lifecycle in one platform
Unify your workflow into one automated environment and break down silos between development and design teams.
The price of workflow silos
When every department uses a different tool for every project stage, data gets lost in translation. Data silos, mismatched files, and disconnected tools kill project velocity. Bring your teams into one connected workflow and move projects from concept to construction without any drag.
Key challenges with traditional solar project handoff
Limited throughput
Lack of a single platform view for reporting and project metrics across the entire lifecycle, causing teams to spend time on admin and rework instead of growing their pipeline.
Slow iteration
Testing design changes across disconnected platforms limits agility and delays optimization.
Siloed data
Critical project data (constraints, grid analysis, design revisions) lives in different systems, making status tracking impossible.
Data loss
Manual data transfers cause loss and mistakes that ripple through the lifecycle.
Version control chaos
Engineers and developers often work with outdated or non-synchronized design iterations.
The PVcase platform solution
The PVcase platform connects all your critical solar workflows — from site selection and detailed engineering to performance modeling — into a single, unified environment. By eliminating manual handoffs and centralizing project data, you gain consistency, accelerate collaboration, and significantly reduce time to NTP.
Why choose the PVcase platform?
Hand-off data with zero friction
Instantly pull a site identified and optimized in PVcase Prospect into PVcase Ground Mount, pre-loaded with topography and constraint maps, eliminating manual setup time.
Unify project data in one place
Centralize all project and design information in one place, ensuring development, engineering, and finance teams are always working with the most current version.
Automate an entire project lifecycle
Leverage automation in every phase — from preliminary site filtering and layout creation to detailed design and final BOM generation — to grow pipeline without increasing headcount.
Combine data intelligence with CAD accuracy in the industry’s best platform
Unlock the unique advantage of combining competitive early-stage insights with the engineering precision needed for construction — delivering a truly integrated, end-to-end solution you won’t find with siloed competitors.
Customer Perspective
"We were spending too much time on drafting and not enough on decision-making. We needed a smarter, faster way to develop our projects."
— Phil Hofmeyer, Responsabile tecnico di progettazione presso New Leaf Energy
