Virto Solar

Model Virto-Cad - Solar PV Design Software

SHARE

Generate 3D model from your building easily without knowledge of 3D.  Placing 2D polygons together with heights will results into an extruded 3D model.  If you’re an experienced CAD designer, or work together with a 3rd party design studio, then you can also use these models in your project as well.

Generate module layout

Generate optimized 3D module layouts to maximize your quantity in your project considering edge zones and obstacles (including keep out zones).

Shadow and irradiation

Simulate shadow and irradiation of the sun based on weather date within VirtoCAD.  You can simulation the irradiance on either your roof surface or on the modules itself.   You can also set a treshhold which will either remove colors and/or modules from your project.

Ballast calculation + bill of materials

Through API integration of mounting systems such as Avasco, Esdec, Van der Valk and SolarStell, we’re able to calculate and visualize ballast.  Moreover we can export bill of materials as XLS and download a PDF report.

Export to PVsyst

No need to redraw your 3D rooftop, shading objects and module layout in PVSyst. Export your drawing from AutoCAD or BricsCAD to PVSyst within seconds and simulate the performance and yield of your system.  

String mapping + colorization

Draw your strings automatic, semi-automatic or manually (it’s your choice) and colorize them for improved visualization when printed

Cable tray path + routing

Define cable tray paths on and off your roof surface or even bridge between buildings. Place inverters or combiner boxes in or outside your building. Finally route all your AC and DC cable in 3D through the shortest path to each device.

Export overview to Excel
The overview of your project with inverters, modules, string labels, cable lengths and cable sections are exported to Excel.
