Solar Layout Studio overview

Solar Layout Studio is the ground-mount layout workspace. It turns a site and its constraints into tables, rows, and quantities that estimating and procurement can use.

The workspace is geometry- and rule-driven. It is not a freehand drawing tool that forgets why a row moved.

What it produces

• buildable area from site boundary, fence setbacks, and non-buildable polygons
• table assemblies (modules on structure with foundation posts)
• rows of tables with pitch between rows
• placement that respects setbacks and keep-out areas
• counts and quantity-oriented outputs used downstream

How it connects

Table counts, utilization, and layout revisions are intended to synchronize toward estimating quantities and structural procurement packages. A layout revision should not live as an unlabeled PDF while the estimate still prices the previous row count.

Scope honesty

Capabilities described here are those implemented in the layout engines: site / buildable area, table and row configuration, pitch, setbacks, foundation post counts on tables, and BOM-oriented quantity roll-ups. Do not read this as a promise of every tracker OEM’s proprietary design software.
