The Customer
Learn more about RWE
RWE is a global leader in the renewable energy transition, committed to becoming net-zero by 2040. With 20,000 employees across 30 countries, the company is investing billions to expand its portfolio of offshore and onshore wind, solar, and battery storage. To manage a massive pipeline of 100MW+ utility-scale projects, RWE’s Technology Assessment and Methods team integrated PVcase Ground Mount as their primary design engine.
”More than saving time, we really want to generate accurate layouts and accurate representations when we build financial models around that project.”

Senior Manager, Technology Assessment and Methods at RWE
The Challenge
No solution to handle 100MW+ projects
RWE deployed PVcase Ground Mount to bridge the gap between initial site assessment and final engineering.
Scaling limitations
Most software in the market struggled to handle the data load and complexity of 100MW+ projects.
Manual error risks
Large-scale designs were prone to replication errors and slow layout creation times.
Accuracy gaps
Difficulty in creating high-fidelity layouts in-house impacted the reliability of financial models and bills of materials (BOM).
The solution
Solution for pipeline consolidation
RWE deployed PVcase Ground Mount to bridge the gap between initial site assessment and final engineering.
Data-driven financials
RWE uses PVcase for all projects involving critical financial decisions, pulling precise BOMs directly from the software.
Advanced shading & iteration
Features like Shading Analysis and GCR (Ground Coverage Ratio) Iteration allow the team to evaluate thousands of possibilities to find the optimal design.
Site suitability
The Collision Analysis feature transformed how RWE understands site grading, providing a clear picture of how much earthwork is required before a single shovel hits the ground.
Responsive support
PVcase provides rapid turnarounds for demos and feature updates, ensuring the software evolves alongside RWE's growing pipeline.
”My favorite features are Frame & Park Settings, GCR iteration, and collision analysis — quickly swapping vendors, generating layouts, and estimating grading impact in minutes.”

Results
Speed, optimized capacity, and pipeline consolidation
Unrivaled speed
Layout creation for complex sites has been slashed from several days to just a few hours.
Pipeline consolidation
RWE now funnels its entire solar ground mount pipeline through PVcase for consistency and speed.
Optimized capacity
The team can now play with different modules and tracker vendors in real-time, watching layouts generate instantly to find the best project fit.
Construction safety
Precise crash analysis ensures that undulating terrain is accounted for, reducing risk and improving construction efficiency.
”No other software on the market let us seamlessly design 100+ MW projects — PVcase Ground Mount was the exception.”
