Seven steps
- Project Setup — pin, boundary, land use, area
- SiteIQ — solar, regulatory, flood, GIS buildable area, BESS co-location flag, PVMath score
- TerrainIQ — slope, cut/fill screening, terrain CAD data
- LayoutIQ — auto layout, electrical, A1 sheet inputs
- YieldIQ — PVGIS yield on selected layout
- RevenueIQ — CAPEX, revenue, IRR, LCOE screening
- PVMath report — unified PDF + project package ZIP
Unified PDF
{Project}_PVMath_Report.pdf combines SiteIQ, TerrainIQ, LayoutIQ summary, YieldIQ, and RevenueIQ sections in one client-ready document. Project Summary uses the selected mount from LayoutIQ (not a generic fixed-tilt default).
For Single-Axis Tracker layouts, the LayoutIQ section and design-basis annex include tracker row geometry (physical width, rotation limits, physical GCR) — see tracker row geometry guide. Configuration comparison in YieldIQ appears only when you compared 2+ configs in LayoutIQ.
Project package ZIP contents
- Unified PVMath report PDF
- {Project}_Layout_A1.pdf — top view + sidebar BOM
- {Project}_BOM.csv — modules, rows, inverters
- Layout DXF — UTM-georeferenced rows
- Terrain Data/ — reference JSON, UTM points CSV, contours DXF (when TerrainIQ ran)
Usage & billing
One project analysis credit is charged when LayoutIQ runs its layout sweep. TerrainIQ, YieldIQ, RevenueIQ, and on-screen results on the same project in the same calendar month do not consume additional credits.
PDF and ZIP exports (unified PVMath report and project package) require Professional, Developer, or Enterprise — not included on the Free plan.
Quick vs full workflow
Quick mode (pin only) — SiteIQ + YieldIQ screening without TerrainIQ or layout. Full mode (drawn boundary) — unlocks TerrainIQ, LayoutIQ, and full on-screen workflow. Package exports require a paid plan.
