IE-VALIDATED. LENDER-ACCEPTED.

Built for bankability. Validated by the names lenders trust.

The energy yield report with your name on it goes straight to the lender. PlantPredict is built so every number survives diligence. Tighten your P50/P90 spread, defend your assumptions, and secure financing with confidence.

Independent bankability studies by ICF, Leidos, and Solphi.

Independent technical reviews from DNV GL, Black & Veatch, and Leidos

Proven across 3+ TW of projects over 10+ years

100% open, documented algorithms means no black box for your IE to question

API & SDK

Automate everything. Integrate anything.

Use the REST API and open-source Python SDK to run batch simulations, manage component libraries, pull weather data, and build custom workflows, or let AI agents write the scripts and drive the API for you. The physics-based engine still runs every prediction; AI never touches the model.

Full REST API for batch energy simulations at scale

Open-source Python SDK on PyPI and GitHub

Go beyond energy prediction

GIS-enabled site design, earthwork assessment, and string-sizing optimization. Pro tools extend PlantPredict across the pre-construction workflow.

Design pro

Site Evaluation & Layout Optimization

Create optimized site layouts, predict energy yields, generate a Bill of Quantities, estimate EPC costs, and conduct LCOE analysis through multi-year cash flows, all within a collaborative GIS environment.

GIS-enabled site assessment with 30+ data layers

Automated BoQ, EPC cost, and LCOE outputs

Multi-scenario GCR & DC/AC optimization

Collaborative single source of truth

terrain pro

Earthwork Analysis & Grading

Calculate cut and fill volumes by analyzing existing contours and mounting specifications. Terrain Pro provides realistic earthwork estimates early in the process, preventing construction surprises later.

40× reduction in civil engineering hours

Standard vs terrain-following tracker comparison

CAD/DXF import for topographic data and layouts

Cut/fill heatmaps, pile visualization, rack profiles

voltage pro

String Length Maximization

Static datasheets leave revenue on the table. Voltage Pro uses simulation-based string sizing with 20+ years of historical weather data, moving away from overly cautious strategies that needlessly lead to lost revenue.

Multi-year weather-based voltage simulation

1-click weather data from top-tier providers

PAN and PPM file upload or database selection

Automated safety factor calculations

Supercharge your workflows

Enterprise-tier capabilities and partner integrations include programmatic API access, your own CAD/DXF layouts, advanced soiling, and probabilistic uncertainty.

Performance API

Energy and Earthwork API

Programmatic access to PlantPredict's energy and earthwork engines. Run batch simulations and pipe results straight into your own tools and pipelines.

AI-ready REST API for batch energy and earthwork processing

Open-source Python SDK on PyPI and GitHub

Powers Design Pro, Voltage Pro and Terrain Pro under the hood

Available with Enterprise plans

CAD-Ready

Bring your own CAD/DXF layout

Run Terrain Pro earthwork assessments directly on your own CAD/DXF site layouts, comparing fixed-tilt and terrain-following trackers in hours instead of weeks.

Import your CAD/DXF site layouts and topography

Compare earthwork across tilt and pier-reveal options

Outputs ready for engineering and construction

Extends Terrain Pro

PVRADAR integration

Soiling Losses & Cleaning Optimization

Go beyond the industry-standard 2% default. Import site-specific monthly soiling loss factors powered by PVRADAR's physical soiling model, then optimize cleaning to maximize profitability.

Site-specific monthly soiling loss factors

Cost-optimal cleaning schedule analysis

Compare cleaning services vs in-house operations

Validated against operational data by TotalEnergies

PowerUq integration

Native Uncertainty Quantification

PowerUQ integration brings rigorous P50/P90 uncertainty analysis into your PlantPredict workflow, with tighter, more defensible probability distributions without exporting to a separate tool.

Native P50/P90 outputs in every project

Monte Carlo propagation across loss factors

Bankable assumptions, fully documented

One-click activation from your existing project

Built for the way you work today

The modern, cloud-native comforts that make a modeler's day easier.

💻
No powerful workstations

Cloud GPUs do the heavy lifting, so full 3D simulations run from a basic laptop or Chromebook, with no costly engineering workstations to buy or maintain.

Unlimited Projects

No per-project fees, no simulation caps. Run as many predictions as your pipeline needs, all included in your license.

👁

Free Viewer Access

Share projects with lenders, reviewers, and stakeholders who can view results without a paid license. Perfect for due diligence.

👥

Real-time collaboration

Share a project with your whole team and work from one source of truth, with no emailing files or reconciling versions across desktops.

📊
Detailed Reporting
Export PDF and Excel reports with hourly 8760 production tables, node-level outputs, and loss waterfall breakdowns.

💲

Transparent pricing

Published pricing from $2,600/year with unlimited projects, and no opaque, enterprise-only quotes just to get started.
