How SolarLayout Works

From boundary to bankable layout — in minutes.

Step 1

Import Your Boundary

Load your site KMZ file. SolarLayout automatically reads all boundary polygons, including exclusion zones for obstacles, water bodies, and transmission line corridors.

Step 2

Configure Your Parameters

Input your module specifications (dimensions, wattage), MMS table configuration, row pitch, GCR, perimeter road width, and inverter/SMB details. Both string inverter and central inverter topologies are supported.

Step 3

Generate Your Layout

The software automatically places MMS tables, inverters, lightning arresters, and routes DC/AC cables — all within your boundary constraints. ICR buildings are placed and sized automatically.

Step 4

Export Your Results

Export a full KMZ layout file, DXF drawing, and PDF report with plant capacity, cable quantities, energy yield, and generation estimates.
