SolarLayout

From site boundary to complete PV layout — in minutes.

Import a KMZ or KML boundary, set your module and table parameters, and generate a full plant layout: tables, string & central inverters, ICRs, DC/AC cabling, lightning arresters, BOM, single-line diagram and energy yield — ready to export.

How it works

From download to deliverable.

01

Import boundary

Drop in a KMZ / KML site boundary. Obstacles, water bodies and roads are read automatically.

02

Configure

Load a module (.PAN), set table geometry, spacing, tilt and inverter sizing.

03

Generate layout

Tables, ICRs, inverters, cabling and lightning arresters are placed — respecting every setback.

04

Export

KMZ, DXF and a PDF layout + summary, plus BOM and single-line diagram.

See it work

Real output, straight from the app.

Not mockups — these are actual results the app generates, ready to export.

Layout over satellite basemap
Generated PV plant layout overlaid on satellite imagery
Satellite verification — check placement against terrain, access roads and obstructions.
Generated plant layout
Generated plant layout with tables, inverters and cable routing
Full electrical layout in UTM metres — tables, inverters, ICRs and DC/AC routing, exportable to DXF.
Energy yield & irradiance
Monthly energy generation and inclined irradiance charts for the plant
Monthly generation and plane-of-array irradiance — 33,718 MWh in year one at an 82.6% performance ratio.
Automated bill of materials
Automated bill of materials with quantities, units and specifications
Every module, inverter, cable and connector quantified from the layout — editable, then exported to Excel or PDF.
Capabilities

Everything from one boundary file.

Automated table placement

Fills the usable area with MMS tables, honouring obstacles, roads and shadow setbacks.

Satellite basemap

Verify the generated plant against real imagery of the actual site.

String & central inverter

K-means inverter placement with DC and AC cable routing.

DC / AC cable routing

Full cable schedule with lengths, exportable to DXF.

Lightning arresters

100 m protection grid with table clearance, auto-placed.

Energy yield (P50 / 75 / 90)

Probabilistic yield with TMY weather and a monthly energy chart.

BOM & single-line diagram

Bill of materials and an auto-generated SLD for the plant.

Pile layout & sketch mode

Place piles and draw obstructions directly on the canvas.
