What is Virto CAD?

Virto.CAD is a powerful PV design plugin for AutoCAD and BricsCAD to speed up the design and engineering process of large-scale solar plants. It allows EPC, engineering firms and developers in the solar industry to create detailed drawings and calculations for Commercial & Industrial and utility-scale ground-mount PV projects.

Does proficad support photovoltaic circuit diagrams?

ProfiCAD supports the drawing of photovoltaic circuit diagrams. In addition to the common electrical engineering symbols, the library includes symbols such as solar cells, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, inverters, etc. Should you need more symbols, you can create them in the symbol editor. Some sample drawings (click for full size):

How does pvcad auto-populate a template?

Instead of manually entering system data into the site plan, the array layout, the single-line diagram, and other documents, PVCAD auto-populates fields in the template. For example, PVCAD’s IronRidge templates side cutouts of the IronRidge mounting system in the model space.

Does pvcomplete have pre-made templates?

PVComplete has links to pre-made templates prepared specifically for your use below. Instead of manually entering system data into the site plan, the array layout, the single-line diagram, and other documents, PVCAD auto-populates fields in the template.

How to create a 3D model for solar panels?

Placing 2D polygons together with height dimensions will result into an extruded 3D model. Experienced CAD designers or 3rd party design studios can use these generated 3D models in your project as well. Generate optimized 3D module layouts to maximize the number of solar panels in your projects.
