CAD automation for solar engineering teams

We build tools that take the repetitive work out of solar design in SketchUp and AutoCAD. Install one ready-made, or have one built around your own standards.

Over 20 MW of solar designed since 2025, for 15+ EPCs and engineering firms across India.

Nine tools for SketchUp and AutoCAD: one on sale, three in early access, five coming.

Ready-to-use tools, at fixed prices

Nine tools, each begun as a task that was costing a real project time. They run inside the software your team already uses.

TrueSouth 1.3 report: annual generation, specific yield, performance ratio and near-shading loss

SketchUp Available now

TrueSouth

Shading and generation for the panels in your SketchUp model, with P50 and P90, for the whole year or any period and hours, as a report you can hand to a client. Built for early feasibility, so you can compare layouts before committing to one.

₹4,999one-time, launch price

Solar Mount Builder

Model a complete PV mounting table, with panels, purlins, rafters and legs, and export its steel bill of materials, cut list and concrete quantities. Built for fabricated steel, not proprietary racking.

SketchUp Early access

STBL, Solar Table Layout

Fill any site with string-true tables, roads and a complete GA summary. The table size comes from your string length, so the layout is electrically correct before a line is drawn.

AutoCAD Early access

STRG, DC Stringing

Select your table layout and it draws the DC stringing: snake paths, terminals, home runs, string numbers and cable lengths, with a per-string cable schedule.

AutoCAD Early access

SLD

Draws single line diagrams from your system details, using your own symbols and sheet template.

AutoCAD Coming soon

AnyView 3D

Exports a SketchUp model as an interactive 3D view that opens in any browser, so clients can look around the design without installing anything.

SketchUp Coming soon

ShadowTrace

Shadow analysis inside AutoCAD: see how shadows from parapets, equipment and neighbouring structures fall across your layout.

AutoCAD Coming soon

ClearReport

Turns design data and raw reports into a clean, readable layout your client can follow.

Coming soon

Quick STAAD

Sends a structure modelled in SketchUp to STAAD Pro for analysis, without rebuilding it.

SketchUp Coming soon

When no ready-made tool fits

A team with its own standards rarely fits a fixed tool. For those problems we build automation around your templates and conventions, and we study the problem before writing any code.

  1. Share the problemThe bottleneck in detail, with a few example projects.
  2. Feasibility proposalWhat we need from you, how long the study takes and its price, credited against the build.
  3. You approve the studyNothing begins until you confirm.
  4. Feasibility studyA short proof of concept, scope of work and a fixed build price.
  5. You approve the buildScope, price and timeline agreed in writing.
  6. Build and deployDeveloped, installed, trained and supported.

Two approval points, so you are never committed to more than the next step.

Every tool here began as a task that was costing a real project time. If it is repeated on every project, it should not be done by hand.
