How New Leaf Energy cut dev time by 50% with PVcase for AutoCAD

New Leaf Energy, a leading US renewable energy developer, cut solar project development time by 50% and improved efficiency by using the PVcase platform for AutoCAD, which streamlined site selection, design, and yield optimization processes that were previously hindered by manual tools, fragmented workflows, and poor team coordination.

Virto CAD vs. PVcase Ground Mount: Technical Comparison

The comparison between Virto CAD and PVcase Ground Mount highlights that while Virto CAD offers a cost-effective, multi-purpose CAD solution suitable for both commercial and utility-scale solar projects, it suffers from inefficiencies such as high redesign rates, limited support, performance issues on large projects, and costly tiered upgrades, whereas PVcase provides advanced engineering capabilities—including civil analysis, BESS integration, and terrain accuracy—along with elite global support designed to minimize rework and optimize utility-scale solar project workflows.

Terrain-following tracker innovation

PVcase has introduced a pioneering terrain-following feature in its Ground Mount software that enables the design of large-scale solar projects using Nevados' all-terrain single-axis trackers on uneven ground, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for costly and environmentally damaging land grading, thereby facilitating solar development on challenging brownfield sites as praised by industry stakeholders like BQ Energy and Nevados.

Case study on ground grading | PVcase

This case study compares terrain-following trackers (TFT) and traditional single-axis trackers (SAT) using PVcase software to analyze differences in site preparation, installation costs, and project timelines by designing TFT layouts that adapt to terrain profiles and evaluating the physical materials and work required for each tracker type on the same site.

Solar Farm Design Software by PVcase

PVcase Ground Mount is an AutoCAD plugin utility-scale solar design software that automates terrain-adaptive layouts, financial modeling, regulatory compliance, and precision mechanical and electrical engineering through integrated workflows and digital twin simulations, thereby reducing costs, preventing data loss, and accelerating project timelines for complex solar farm developments.

The complete guide to solar farms

A solar farm is a large-scale installation of ground-mounted photovoltaic panels designed to generate bulk renewable electricity for grid distribution or defined customer groups, ranging from small community projects under 10 acres to massive utility-scale power plants like China's Golmud Solar Park spanning thousands of acres and producing up to gigawatts of power.
