PVcase Roof Mount Overview

What is PVcase Roof Mount?

PVcase Roof Mount is an advanced CAD-based design software tailored for commercial and industrial solar rooftop projects. It integrates essential design functions into a single platform, enabling solar developers, designers, and engineers to streamline workflows and improve project efficiency. Key features include 3D Roof Preparation, Layout Generation, Shading Analysis, and seamless Export to PVsyst, ensuring precision in every design aspect. PVcase Roof Mount’s standout capability is the 3D Roof Preparation, allowing designers to model rooftops accurately, consider obstacles, and define offset zones for optimal module placement. This precision is vital for complex roof scenarios, maximizing energy yield and performance. PVcase Roof Mount’s layout generation and shading tools automatically identify overshaded modules, preventing energy loss. It effectively manages the Bill of Materials, reducing miscalculations, and driving design efficiency. The tool also boasts precise electrical design capabilities and PVsyst integration that allow solar developers streamline workflows for comprehensive performance analysis. With a user-friendly interface, PVcase Roof Mount empowers users to create accurate designs and fosters collaboration among project teams. It addresses both complex and straightforward installations, providing tools to execute projects on time and within budget, setting a new standard in solar rooftop engineering.

Product Description

PVcase is a next generation PV software company. Driven by engineering know-how and cutting edge development team, we change the rules when it comes to solar design operations worldwide. Our customer base extends from Europe to North and South Americas, Asia and Australia, rapidly adding new customers with every software iteration. PVcase's approach to utility scale solar layout design strives to become the new industry standard as the PV industry is forced to evolve in an environment with significantly reduced subsidies. Our focus on automation and accuracy from the very earliest stages of planning, incorporating 3D topographical data points to simulate the actual location of the solar plant, allows our customers to be able to compete for and win more projects by delivering greater yields. PVcase’s automation plug-in for AutoCAD has already been used to design over 3 GW of projects by some of the world’s largest players in solar renewable energy. With our extensive experience in the solar design industry we see other opportunities to optimize and create efficiencies in other aspects of the evaluation and planning of commercial and utility scale PV projects and have several other products in the development process.

What do you like best about PVcase Roof Mount?

- It allows for very quick and effective implementation.

- The tool for string threading, as well as the "create cabling" tool, are very useful and save me a lot of time when making my wiring diagrams.

- The customer support service is very efficient. They respond very quickly and, based on my experience, have always solved my problems.

- The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVcase Roof Mount?

- On some occasions, I don't like the automatic numbering that PVcase does for the strings (somewhat disorganized) and I don't like that it doesn't give me the option to do the numbering manually myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PVcase Roof Mount solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using PVcase Roof Mount, I used to do the installations manually, drawing the modules myself, making the string connections, and even the path of each string to the inverter, all manually. For small installations, the time gain is less noticeable, but for larger installations (for example, from 100 kW onwards), the efficiency you achieve is enormous. In the most extreme case, a 1 MW project could take me almost 2 weeks to complete the installation. However, using PVcase Roof Mount, I do it easily in a morning.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about PVcase Roof Mount?

The PVcase Roof Mount is an easy-to-use, intuitive, and highly detailed program that I use frequently. With great ease, we can conduct a study with photovoltaic panels on your roof regardless of the building's shape. It is a comprehensive program that provides us with the necessary elements to export the total values of the equipment under study. It is a program that can be easily implemented in a work team, subsequently providing autonomy in the work developed. The entire support team responds quickly to all improvement suggestions we propose with the aim of facilitating and enhancing the work developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVcase Roof Mount?

PVcase should consider long-term compatibility with BIM software, taking into account the evolution of programs and work methods. PVcase could have some command or method that could read a BIM model without the need to create a volume for panel installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PVcase Roof Mount solving and how is that benefiting you?

- improvements related to the information reported in the layout information.

- new items / new solutions for the arrangement of panels on the roof Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PVcase Roof Mount?

PVCase roof mount is a very intuitive program, even if you don't have a lot of AutoCad experience. It is structured very nicely, so your workflow does not get messed up. What I escpecially like, is the electrical part. Manual stringing works really good and linking strings to any desired MPPT input of the inverter can be done easily. The newly introduced shading tool with a lot of automated tools was one of the big things we waited for and is implemented very good. The last point would be the customer service, which mostly responds within minutes after writing the email and problems are mostly solved within an hour.

All in all a tool, which I really like to use frequently! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVcase Roof Mount?

There are still a few features missing:

- something like a compass, which rotates the building as desired (changing the WKS does not do the trick for all features)

- Possibility to export it to PVCase Yield (as with PVCase Ground Mount)

- A library for inverters and modules woul be nice (could be implemented in PV Case Yield as well) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PVcase Roof Mount?

It is a huge time saver and allows for changes/iterations in designs very easily. The 3D modeling is very intuitive and allows for easy export to PVsyst. Additionally, whenever we have a question, email support is prompt and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVcase Roof Mount?

Nothing, we love all of it's features and look forward to new ones coming out as updates are released. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PVcase Roof Mount solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many sales designs needed with a short turnaround time, as well as 3D modeling necessary for As-Built PVsysts at the end of the project lifecycle. PVcase RM shortens the time it takes for sales designs to be completed and allows for easy 3D modeling/export to PVsyst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PVcase Roof Mount?

The most interesting thing was being able to see the 3D model, with a precise definition of the coverings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVcase Roof Mount?

There is nothing that left me dissatisfied, I would just add the possibility of additional forms of coverings. Like a half-barrel, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PVcase Roof Mount solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows for better arrangement of photovoltaic modules on the roof and to view, already in the preliminary phase, the impact of lifelines or railings on the photovoltaic system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
