How it works.

One project setup feeds every step. Each result carries into the next.

Step-by-step workflow
Step 1 — Project Setup
One login · one project context

Name the project, set the country, and place the site once. Every step inherits the same project — no re-entry.

🗺
Interactive map Draw your site boundary on the map — search by address or place corner pins
📂
Upload KML / KMZ Import a parcel polygon — unlocks TerrainIQ, LayoutIQ, YieldIQ & RevenueIQ
SiteIQ — Site Screening
Step 2 · Solar · flood · regulatory · buildable area

Screen solar resource, flood risk and grid proximity, then map buildable area with automatic GIS setbacks from roads, rivers, buildings and more.

TerrainIQ — Slope Analysis
Step 3 · Needs a boundary · CAD exports

Region-routed DEM inside your boundary — slope heatmaps, cross-row grades and engineering verdicts before you order a topo survey.

LayoutIQ — Auto Layout
Step 4 · Layout + electrical · A1 drawing + PVsyst export

Pick Fixed Tilt or tracker, auto-pack rows with GIS setbacks, then size strings and cables — A1 electrical layout drawing and PVsyst export included.

YieldIQ — Yield Estimation
Step 5 · Auto-runs from your layout · Feasibility only

PVGIS yield for your chosen LayoutIQ mount — Fixed 1P–4P or SAT 1P/2P. Runs automatically when you proceed, no re-entry.

RevenueIQ — Economic Screening
Step 6 · Uses LayoutIQ capacity & YieldIQ energy · Screening only

CAPEX bands, tariff revenue, OPEX, LCOE, IRR, NPV, and payback from your layout and yield — country-aware auction/PPA modes and Agri-PV adjustments.

Combined PVMath report

SiteIQ + TerrainIQ + LayoutIQ + YieldIQ + RevenueIQ in one export — project ZIP, layout DXF, terrain LandXML, economic PDF section, and screening report.

Not a desk.

Founded by a solar engineering expert with hands-on utility-scale experience — trackers, terrain, site design, and EPC delivery worldwide.

Built for problems that cost project hours — not boardroom features.

Purpose-Built for Solar

Solar site assessment and engineering — not a generic GIS tool.

Global Coverage, European Roots

Built in Germany. Global PVGIS + Copernicus data. Regulatory flags for DE, AT, ES, US, IN, AU, and more.

Growing Fast

One unified platform live. Roadmap driven by engineer feedback.

Common questions from engineers.

What PVMath is — and isn’t — in a ground-mount workflow.

How is PVMath different from running PVGIS and QGIS yourself?

Same datasets — one workflow. Screening, terrain PDFs, CAD export, and four-config yield comparison in ≤ 10 minutes.

Is this a bankable study or a substitute for PVsyst / DNV / Aurora?

No. Pre-feasibility screening for go/no-go. YieldIQ: ±8–15% vs. bankable. TerrainIQ: region-routed public DEM, not LiDAR.

What does Early Access mean?

The full platform is live today. Features and pricing may evolve. Free tier includes PDF and CAD export.

Can I use TerrainIQ exports in CAD for layout?

Yes — for early layout. TerrainIQ delivers a UTM LandXML surface and DXF contours with parcel linework from your boundary. Screening-grade public DEM — verify critical grades with survey before FEED.

Who is PVMath built for?

Solar EPCs, developers, and engineering firms screening utility-scale ground mount globally. Fixed tilt and tracker, standard and Agri-PV.
