On a site where 44% of the ground was solid rock, traditional grading would have cost $1.06M. PVX.AI's approach: $335K. The difference was made at design, not construction.
30-minute live walkthrough with your terrain data. No commitment.
Most solar design tools assume flat terrain or apply a single grading method. On complex sites, that single assumption can cost $700K+.
| Approach | Earthwork Volume | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Full terrain smoothing | 118,225 m³ | $1,062,481 |
| Pile-adaptive grading | 48,109 m³ | $438,046 |
| Table splitting + pile-adaptive | 34,819 m³ | $335,376 |
Source: CS#1 engineering analysis. All three approaches produce the same panel capacity.
From raw terrain to construction-ready outputs. Three steps, one AutoCAD file.
PVX.AI imports your actual topo surface into AutoCAD. Slope analysis and soil hardness mapping show where grading costs will concentrate before a single pile is placed.
Three grading methods applied to the same site. Cut/fill volumes calculated per approach. You choose the method that balances cost, constructibility, and pile length constraints.
Pile coordinates, grading sheets, cross-sections, and drainage plans. Construction-ready outputs from the same AutoCAD file.
On the same 130 MWp plant, cabling optimization saved another $430K.
