Solesca adds 3D terrain modeling to solar design software platform

Solar Power World · Oct 19

What happened

Commercial and community solar design provider Solesca has released the second version of its software platform. The update introduces 3D terrain modeling that accounts for slopes and topographic variability across ground-mounted and rooftop projects. The company stated the feature is intended to prevent costly project revisions caused by incomplete data during early site design.

Why it matters

Civil engineering surprises and unexpected grading work represent common cost drivers during pre-development on uneven parcels. Access to detailed terrain modeling early in the design phase can help developers and EPCs evaluate site viability and estimate installation costs more accurately. Specific technical integrations and pricing terms for the new software version were not disclosed.
