Llevo unos años utilizando el software de PVcase, en concreto el módulo de Ground Mount, para el diseño de plantas solares fotovoltaicas a media y gran escala y puedo dar una opinión basada en mi experiencia. Como aspectos positivos destacaría los siguientes:

- Facilidad de uso y rendimiento desde el primer día

- Capacidad de implementación de recursos y nuevas funciones a medida que se utiliza

- Introducción de datos reales de equipos utilizados

- Cálculos de diseño civil realistas y detallados

- Datos básicos para cálculos eléctricos de redes de baja tensión

- Nuevas mejoras y funciones actualizadas periódiciamente Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Como aspectos menos agradables comentaría los siguientes:

- Precio elevado para empresas pequeñas y personas autónomas

- Utilización en un solo puesto de trabajo por cada licencia

- No posibilidad de cálculo de secciones de conductores eléctricos

- Falta de cálculos de diseño civil para otros elementos que no sean seguidores fotovoltaicos como caminos, vallados, cimentaciones,... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Il programma ha la comodità di avere la stessa interfaccia del classico Autocad, e di lavorare con grande velocità su layout con campi fotovoltaici di grandi dimensioni anche più di 100MW. Ci sono tantissimi mini corsi inclusi nel pacchetto e sempre consultabili per imparare ad utilizzare il programma in completa autonomia. Eccezionale il supporto tecnico sempre attivo, con risposte rapidissime circa 5-10 min, tramite una chat dal loro sito Pvcase, risposte chiare, concrete, pratiche, efficaci ed esaustive. Se il problema nn viene risolto con il loro aiuto telematico,lavorano anche direttamente sul file del cliente per capirne il problema. Supporto tecnico eccellente.

Preferirei ci fosse la possibilità di esportare il progetto creato ed utilizzarlo su google Earth in modo da mostrarlo al cliente nel suo ambiente reale, per capirne la reale altezza ed impatto. Sarebbe bello trovare anche la possibilità di renderizzare il progetto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software, an extension of Civil3D, allows for the design of photovoltaic systems by significantly reducing the time as it provides the ability to define the layout on predefined areas by simply configuring the type of structure (tracker or fixed), the pitch, and importing the survey through the program itself or from external data. It is also possible to perform a civil analysis with the aim of calculating the necessary excavations and backfills for the positioning of the structures. Among other functions, the electrical configuration is very useful, allowing for the wiring of strings and the rapid export of the single-line diagram. A positive aspect of the software is certainly the always available technical support and the academy with constantly updated video courses. I use it daily on all projects and recommend its purchase to those dealing with issues related to drafting a plant layout, especially in the initial phase when one often has to modify the configuration of the structures to find the optimal one.

It would be useful to be able to share the license among colleagues of the same team. It would be useful to implement the existing functionality of spacing fixed structures according to shading also for trackers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my company, we work on different phases of the development of a PV plant until its commissioning, and it is useful in all of them:

-In the search for suitable land for PV plants, it helps us design plants much faster than without this tool, allowing us to optimize the work and test many fields at once.

-In the US department, it allows us to:

.Convert structures (fixed type or tracker) layout not done in pvcase to pvcase easily

.Take cable measurements minimizing errors and significantly reducing execution time. These also include 3D tracing, making them more accurate

.Agile string numbering

.Generation of basic single-line diagrams very quickly

.Positioning of piles, with the possibility of exporting to an Excel document included

.Earth movements

.Etc.

One of the values I highlight most about PVcase are:

-Its tutorials, very intuitive and easy to learn how to use the program with them.

-Its support service. They have a very well-trained team, super friendly and very available, whether by chat or video call, to assist you with any questions you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The area of earthmoving is very useful for making estimates in development projects. In detailed engineering projects, they are also useful, but they could be optimized a bit more.

However, they are always open to listening to you and seeing what improvement proposals you have for the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very interesting software, I use it every day at work to design ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. easy to use. intuitive and accurate I also report the great availability to support and teaching of the team members. for any needs they are available. If you design PV systems, it is the best on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great to implement the software with a database of single-axis structures so as to facilitate the placement of PV modules.

It would also be interesting to include electrical cables between power line supports among the 3D objects that induce shadow on the modules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about PVcase Ground Mount is the time savings that this tool provides for both preliminary project feasibility studies and detailed engineering designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Civil Analysis tool could be improved by allowing more freedom in some parameters. Additionally, the implementation of cable section dimensioning would be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PVcase Ground Mount is a highly used software by the photovoltaic industry, especially when designing photovoltaic plants, from pre-design phases, through basic engineering, to detailed engineering. Its various tools related to electrical and civil works help streamline the work and provide great support in engineering tasks. Today, it is the software that allows for the greatest detail. Additionally, the PVcase team is always available to resolve any questions that may arise in the use of the program, although it is a very intuitive and easy-to-use software. Another advantage is its continuous updates, always oriented to the needs of the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licenses are individual and it would be interesting to offer other types of solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think PVcase ground mount puts the most tools within the same program when compared to other competitors. Our team used to use multiple tools, and now is able to get better results using fewer tools and PVcase. Additionally, the export features are super helpful and the PVcase team is ready to assist whenever we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there is one issue I have had with PVcase ground mount, it has to be units/scaling. I am a seasoned AutoCAD 2D user, and find myself consistently messing up units on PVcase so my modules are shown extremely small. It would be useful if there was a warning before producing a layout when the module is extremely small relative to your working area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature is the compatibility with AutoCAD, since most of the projects are designed with that software, and the interaction between them is very efficient. Also the possibility to generate different layout depending on multiple parameters, such us the pitch, is an excellent optimization function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that the software is very useful if you need to create a layout from the beginning, but if you have to copy a layout, maybe not available on AutoCAD but only on pdf, it is difficult to replicate it perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PVcase is a robust software solution designed for photovoltaic system design and planning. It offers comprehensive tools for solar engineers, allowing for precise 3D modeling, layout optimization, and yield estimation. Key features include detailed terrain modeling, which accounts for shading and elevation differences, and a user-friendly interface that simplifies complex project workflows.

Theere are several areas where PVcase could potentially be improved:

-Expanding compatibility beyond AutoCAD to include other popular design and engineering platforms can make PVcase more versatile and accessible to a broader range of users.

-Implementing a robust feedback system where users can suggest improvements and regularly updating the software based on this feedback can ensure that PVcase continues to evolve according to user needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
