Roof Modeling
PVRoof defines roof surfaces in AutoCAD and creates the base geometry for rooftop solar design.
How it works
Sloped or flat roof surfaces are read from the drawing and converted into design-ready surfaces.
The model provides the base data for panel layout and shading analysis.
Highlights
- Converts roof geometry into design-ready surfaces.
- Carries slope and orientation into later analyses.
- Reduces initial modeling time on rooftop projects.
Outputs shown on this page
- Roof surface model
- Slope and orientation inputs
- Model ready for panel layout

Roof Shading Analysis
Analyze the impact of buildings, chimneys, parapets and surrounding obstacles on rooftop panel placement.
Panel Layout
Create panel layouts on roof surfaces quickly and clarify usable area and capacity decisions.
Tilt and Orientation
Analyze roof slope and orientation to create clear inputs for panel angle and yield decisions.
Reporting
Convert roof model, panel layout and analysis results into shareable technical outputs.
PVsyst Export
Prepare rooftop layout and shading data for PVsyst to speed up the energy modeling step.
