Scanifly - PV Design Software for Solar Projects
Scanifly provides advanced software solutions for photovoltaic (PV) system design and installation, streamlining the workflows involved in solar project development. The platform offers two primary products: PrelimDesign™, for creating initial sales proposals using satellite and Nearmap imagery supplemented by LiDAR for accurate shading analysis, and DroneDesign™, which refines these designs using on-site drone data to ensure precision. Scanifly integrates these with various proposal and financing tools, supporting both residential and commercial applications. The software advances design accuracy to within a few inches through real-time data, centralizes processes from design to installation, and contributes to reducing project timelines by eliminating redundant revisions. Notably, Scanifly's Viewshed technology for shading analysis is endorsed by leading regulators and lenders, solidifying its standing in the solar energy sector.
Quality solar projects demand two PV design phases: quick preliminary designs for sales and reality-verified drone designs for installation. Scanifly uniquely delivers both capabilities on one platform.
PrelimDesign™
Easily create proposal-ready PV layouts using satellite or Nearmap imagery and LiDAR-enabled shading to calculate production.
- Integrates with front-end proposal & financing tools like Energy Toolbase, SubcontractorHub, and more!
- Supports residential, commercial and ground mount projects at an affordable price
For Engineering & Operations
DroneDesign™
True up your initial design with a final, photorealistic 3D model based on real-time onsite measurements and shade data.
- Centralizes your design workflows from pre-sale to final plan sets and racking layouts
- Eliminates the need for revisions, increases design throughput, and gets you to PTO faster
From showcasing designs to homeowners or customizing final PV system layouts, our software offers two design environments for every level of expertise—available for all Scanifly customers.
Simple Design
The fastest and easiest way to create a front-end design
- Ideal for sales reps and less-technical designers
- Add or remove panels to quickly calculate system offset, simplifying the initial design process
- Automatically produce the PV layout using AI or Scanifly Design Services
Pro Design
Comprehensive design suite for full PV system customization
- Everything a designer or engineer needs to create final designs and plan sets
- Customize roof layouts, fire setbacks, module type and orientation, and shading analysis
- Automatically export 3D models and designs to CAD or directly to your racking partners
