What do I need in order to use each product?
PVComplete’s “Sketch” products work with an internet connection and X, Y, Z web browser. “CAD” products work within AutoDesk’s AutoCAD product environment.

What is the PVSketch Mega and PVCAD Mega and what ...
Mega is short for MegaWatt and refers to our PVSketch Mega and PVCAD Mega products. These products are built for ground mounted larger solar projects at least a Megawatt in size. These products are primarily used by companies developing utility scale and ground mounted community solar projects.
What is the difference between PVSketch and PVCAD?
Our “Sketch” tools are easy-to-use web-based solar design tools. They were built so people just learning solar can begin to understand and visualize what different projects, specifications, and solar even looks like. Our “CAD” tools are add-ons to AutoCAD that provides automation, efficiency and standardization for technical engineering and more experienced solar users.
