PV Drafting Services

Expert Solar Drafting Services

Customized layouts, efficiency optimization, and technical support. We use advanced CAD software to deliver implementable plans for residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects.

What is Solar Drafting?

Solar drafting is the process of taking solar energy system plans from hypothetical to technical, implementable, on-paper plans with specifics and calculations.

At Avila Solar, we use computer-assisted drafting (CAD) rather than manually drafting each plan. CAD allows us to use templates specific to your city or county requirements, ensuring faster turnaround and higher accuracy.

We provide detailed 2D and 3D diagrams taking into account electrical, mechanical, structural, and architectural considerations for any project size.

Technology

Why CAD Makes the Difference

Using the latest CAD software allows us to optimize efficiency and keep your installation costs low.

3D Shading Analysis

We take into account the angle of the sun and provide a 3D shading analysis to assist with the best possible positioning of panels.

Energy Calculations

Our services provide quick figures on how much energy output can be expected from a planned solar energy system using Solmetric calculations.

Speed & Accuracy

Computer-generated plans reduce errors and speed up turnaround, preventing delays in permit requests and inspections.

Solving the Communication Gap

Outsourcing drafting can sometimes feel like a game of telephone. We solve this with a robust submission form and ordering system designed for clarity.

You can manage everything via your client dashboard, and if we miss a call, we return it ASAP to keep your drafting process moving smoothly.
