"PVCAD is good autocad automated software which converts manual effort to automated effort."

4/5

What do you like best about PVCAD?

I like PVCAD’s automation features because they reduce manual work and save time. Its integration with AutoCAD makes the workflow feel seamless, and it helps me complete accurate solar PV designs much faster. It also generates a complete PVSYST project file, which helps me finish PVSYST in less time, including the 3D construction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVCAD?

I find it could be faster when handling larger projects, and I wish it offered more optimization options. Tagging for inverter stringing names and cable trench spaces, as well as roads with bending radius, should be further developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PVCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I need to handle basic DC system capacity sizing or AC system capacity sizing, this software lets me do it quickly, along with generating a bill of materials that includes the details I care about. For larger projects, that means complete DC cable lengths and AC cable lengths are accounted for as well. Overall, it helps me price projects faster and makes the sizing and materials planning process much more efficient which helps in making the project pricing and LCOE calculations and ROI calculations can be easily done. UI of this software is very user friendly to understand as it step by step procedure defined easily to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
