Business Challenge
- Requirement for a streamlined and efficient process for producing permit drawings for solar panel mounting systems.
- Existing methods might be time-consuming, error-prone, or lacking standardization.
- Objective is to create an application that automates permit drawing creation.
- Aim is to ensure accuracy, consistency, and inclusion of vital information such as site plans, circuit details, attachment specifics, placards, and equipment details.
- The solution will address the business's need for a dependable and efficient approach to generating permit drawings within the context of solar panel installations.
Objective
- To create an application that facilitates the generation of permit drawings for solar panel mounting systems.
- This application will provide comprehensive information including site plans, circuit details, attachment specifications, placards, equipment details and more
Solution
- Riverstone provides support for developing an application that employs CAD API (Application Programming Interface) and APS (Autodesk Platform Services) for generating permit drawings.
- The application smoothly integrates with key functionalities including site planning, image embedding, roof mounting, and wire property calculations.
Distinctive Features
- Automates the creation of placards.
- Intelligently generates roof indicators based on geometry.
- Embeds satellite images, vicinity maps, and company logos.
- Streamlines attachment details with Rails, Rail splices, and Clamps through automation.
- Enables design of site plans in both 2D and 3D, providing solar panel attachment information.
- Enhances production quality and ensures error-free drawings by leveraging solar installation & permit automation.
- Automatically generates SLD (Single Line Diagram) and TLD (Three Line Diagram) circuits while calculating wire properties.
