About this Guide
This is a step – by – step guide through PVCAD, the first computer-aided design (CAD) program built for distributed generation solar projects. We recommend using PVCAD for all projects <5MW and PVCAD Mega for ground mounted projects >5MWs. PVCAD Mega has enhanced topographic features and allows you achieve scale on large projects much faster. We have written the guide in a concise, straightforward manner for simple onboarding, and tutorials. Please note, that if you have PVCAD Mega, this application comes with access to PVCAD when change from “Utility” to “Standard” mode.
