PV*SOL premium vs. PVX.AI

PV*SOL premium is the professional software for 3D design and simulation of photovoltaic systems – including precise shading analysis. For more than 25 years, engineers, planners, and installers worldwide have relied on this industry standard to optimally design PV systems, reliably calculate yields, and create bankable reports. Whether for residential homes or commercial rooftops, for full or surplus feed-in, or in combination with battery storage, electric vehicles, and heat pumps – PV*SOL premium models every system configuration realistically and flexibly.

PVX.AI is solar engineering software that runs inside AutoCAD. Instead of moving between CAD, spreadsheets, and standalone design tools, engineers at EPCs, IPPs, and solar developers design utility-scale and commercial solar plants directly in the environment they already use, with construction-ready output at the end. It starts with the terrain. Import elevation data from drone surveys (LAS point clouds), Google Earth (KML/KMZ), or survey files (TXT/CSV), and PVX.AI turns a flat 2D site into a 3D terrain-aware model.
