Constructible. Comparable. Accurate.
AUTOPV™ delivers the best solution, not just a series of possibilities.Fast.
Beyond feasibility, AUTOPV™ delivers detailed design outputs so that your engineers do not spend months re-routing and redrawing all cables every time equipment selection or site configuration changes. AUTOPV™ delivers the actual dollar impact of construction cost on revenue, not just a guestimate.
More than 2000km of cables, over 370,000 modules, 200MWdc, and cable loss % are accurate up to 3 decimal points for eight iterations – in one day. AUTOPV™ delivers detailed AutoCAD drawings and a set of complete cable schedules for each iteration, including an 85% accurate Bill of Quantities.
Our cloud-based platform is accessible to the entire team – from project managers to energy engineers.
SITE LAYOUTS
Our cloud-based platform is accessible to the entire team – from project managers to energy engineers and requires no AutoCAD skills. With AUTOPV™’s advanced algorithms, detailed designs of large, complex Solar PV installations can be automated quickly. Automating complex engineering calculations allows users to generate highly accurate, detailed designs with minimal effort, making it possible to find the design with the lowest cable cost or highest energy yield before lunchtime!
CONSTRUCTABLE DESIGNS:
- Select site architecture.
- Key equipment selection.
- Determine modules per string.
- Select trackers.
- Optimise string grouping.
- Optimise junction box placement.
- Draw optimal cable routes.
- Determine cable lengths & losses.
DESIGN ITERATIONS
Developed by Energy Engineers, AUTOPV™ facilitates rapid design iterations through numerous design, equipment, and architecture options. Compare modules, trackers, string inverters, DC & AC combiner boxes, cables, central inverters, and transformation stations to customise pitch, DC output, and block DC capacity to find the best cost and energy yield solution.
DESIGN ITERATION OPTIONS:
- Central Inverter, String Inverter or String Inverter with AC Combiners.
- Any equipment selection from AUTOPV™’s existing catalogue, which includes modules, trackers, string inverters, DC & AC combiner boxes, cables, central inverters, and transformation stations.
- Basic site parameters include pitch, DC output, and block DC capacity.
ACCURATE REPORTING
AUTOPV™ delivers AutoCAD® DXF drawings indicating all components referenced in the Bill of Quantity. AUTOPV’s bills of quantity are over 85% accurate, reducing scope creep in the building and maintenance of solar sites. Radically reducing engineering time lowers the overall project cost to clients without compromising the accuracy of cost and yield estimates.
INCLUDES:
- Up to 85% accurate BoQ
- AC & DC Cable schedules
- Junction Box Schedule
- Design Summary
- Ability to download reports individually from the in-app displays.
