Spec
– Site Optimization
Bankable designs
in minutes.
PVSpec gives solar developers optimized designs at the earliest stage. Want better estimates and fewer change orders? We can help with site discovery, layout optimization, performance modeling, electrical, civil, and BESS, all in one platform. Use our web app, or connect PVSpec to your existing workflow via API or MCP.
Built for everyone who
touches a solar site.
Pick your role to see where PVSpec fits into the work you already do.
Site Screening
Setbacks, obstructions and easements come off the buildable area first, so the capacity you quote holds up.
Sizing the POI
The layout is built to your AC limit and DC/AC ratio instead of being trimmed afterwards.
Comparing Options
Run parcels or module choices through the same rules and compare capacity and yield side by side.
Racking and Piles
Rows use real frame lengths and pitch, so steel and pile counts come straight from the drawing. (Coming Soon!)
Electrical Blocking
Strings are grouped into balanced inverter blocks that follow the boundary and roads.
Civil and Earthworks
Access roads and civil scope appear in the first design, where changes are cheapest. (Coming Soon!)
Energy Yield
Performance is modeled on the designed layout itself, including row spacing and site losses using NLR and PVGIS
Cost Review
Structural, electrical and civil quantities come from the design, ready to price against. (Coming Soon)
Storage
Add BESS to the same site, sized against the same interconnection.
API
Send a boundary (KML) and design parameters, get layout geometry, capacity estimates, and material sheet back.
MCP
AI assistants such as Claude can take a site from boundary to blocked layout in a conversation.
Web App
The full workflow in your browser at app.pvspec.com, nothing to set up.
Key Features
- Save time designing projects without compromising accuracy
- Navigate complex boundaries, project requirements, and cost constraints
- Optimize CapEx on civil, structural, and electrical components
- Scale site design to meet budget caps and interconnection specifications
About Us
PVSpec was born from a simple question: What if solar designs could be optimized on the first pass, without hours of trial and error?
After months of research, deep dives into computational geometry papers, persistence, and invaluable guidance from countless engineers, designers, and experts across the solar industry, that question became PVSpec – a platform built to give developers their best design from the very first pass.
