PVSketch is a proposal and sales enablement tool designed for sales professionals and developers working in the residential and commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) development. The software streamlines the early stages of project development by enabling rapid system modeling, visualization, and customer-facing proposal generation. We have built the tool to be intuitive and easy-to-use for business development, early stage engineering, and project planning.
You can get started for free, using PVSketch to design your next residential or commercial solar project. Simply enter a user name and password and then identify the project address. Site imagery will automatically download from Google Maps. The PVSketch software is easy to use with no training required. Simply hover over any tool or button for a quick tool tip explaining its function. Follow along with our video series below!
