How CCE automated solar pipeline with PVcase

For years, CCE Holding operated with a design process that was heavily dependent on manual AutoCAD workflows, a bottleneck that stagnated the company’s ability to grow. Engineers were forced to "draw rectangles" table-by-table for rooftop projects, meaning any minor project change triggered a complete, time-consuming redraw. 

Manual design

Engineers relied on drawing individual tables manually, a process that was both labor-intensive and error-prone.

Workflow inflexibility

Any slight project change required a complete redraw from scratch, causing substantial delays.

Software fragmentation

A lack of integration forced engineers to recreate designs in PVsyst manually, doubling the workload for yield analysis.

Onboarding barriers

New team members struggled to adapt quickly due to complex processes and limited support from other software providers.

Recognizing that repetitive tasks and the lack of software integration were doubling workloads, the company turned to PVcase Ground Mount. This shift transformed their engineering department from a manual drafting house into an agile, automated operation.

Automated layout generation

PVcase drastically reduced design time by automatically adjusting layouts to accommodate project changes.

Seamless PVsyst integration

Instead of manually recreating the project in PVsyst — a time-consuming step — the team can export directly from PVcase to PVsyst with the design already set up, including terrain and shading considerations that weren’t available before.

Scalable training

The PVcase Academy provided a structured path for new staff to master the software through tutorials and personalized assistance. Furthermore, CCE benefited from a close partnership with the PVcase support team, receiving quick, detailed troubleshooting — often involving direct problem-solving.

CCE Holding reported a 4.7+ GW project pipeline across seven countries in January 2024. With PVcase, the team has automated key parts of the design process and can execute projects through different stages more efficiently.

Massive time savings

Automating repetitive tasks with PVcase for AutoCAD has enabled the team to handle a high volume of project requests in a timely and detailed manner. The team has noted more than 50% time savings after adopting PVcase.

Pinpoint yield accuracy

Precise 3D terrain and inter-row shading analysis within PVsyst ensures high-fidelity yield predictions, which are crucial for bankable project success.

Enhanced client responsiveness

Faster design iterations have improved communication and overall client satisfaction.

Agile onboarding

New employees are now able to contribute to active projects much faster, maintaining high productivity levels despite rapid growth.
