Optimize your solar site with Kimley-Horn’s solar analysis solution.

PV Tune™ is an industry-leading solar analysis solution. Developed by Kimley-Horn, the nation’s #3 solar design firm (ENR, 2024), PV Tune™ was created by solar engineers who understand that you need accurate, precise information to make the best decisions for your site.

The key benefits of using PV Tune™ include:

• Deeper Analysis
  Go beyond preliminary analysis to gain deep insight into your site’s constraints and potential.
• Project Optimization
  Optimize grading and pile design, increasing site efficiencies, cost savings, and minimizing environmental impacts.
• Confident Decision-making
  Gather clear data and visualizations so you can make confident, data-driven decisions.

The PV Tune™ Advantage

Kimley-Horn’s solar analysis solution streamlines civil and structural design for small and large-scale solar sites. While other tools in the market have a traditional “grading-first” focus, PV Tune’s™ innovative approach balances grading and pile heights—equipping you with the most accurate data to increase efficient decision-making, minimize environmental impacts, and decrease construction costs.

When using PV Tune™ on your project, Kimley-Horn will:

• Analyze thousands of pile points in minutes
• Compare various grading vs. pile height scenarios
• Optimize grading constraints across solar sites
• Minimize solar tracker foundation heights
• Generate clear visualizations
• Analyze for terrain following trackers
• Feed results directly into civil and structural site plans
