We’re thrilled, of course. But more than that, we’re genuinely honored.

This recognition doesn’t come from marketing hype - it comes from people in the trenches: engineers, EPCs, developers, and installers. The ones who live the solar grind every day and know the difference between a clever idea and a genuine step forward.

Winning Best in Show means one thing: this changes how large-scale solar gets built.

Why PVFARM Stood Out

The Solar Power World judges evaluate originality, market impact and real-world usefulness to the teams who actually have to turn drawings into steel in the ground - criteria that align perfectly with why PVFARM exists.

For too long, solar teams had to choose between speed and engineering-grade accuracy.
We built PVFARM to end that compromise.

Our mission from day one was simple:
Design at the speed of prospecting, with the precision of engineering.

Here’s what the judges saw that truly sets PVFARM apart:

Speed Without Shortcuts

PVFARM delivers full-site grading, electrical, layout, and energy modeling at engineering fidelity - in about an hour. Teams now iterate 10–20x faster, not by cutting corners, but because the platform makes the full, multi-disciplinary picture just as fast to generate as a what-if sketch.

Cross-Disciplinary Clarity

Layouts affect grading. Grading affects pile costs. Pile costs affect ILR. ILR changes collection routing. Everyone knows the domino effect - but now it’s visible in real time. PVFARM connects every discipline in one workspace, so teams understand the cascade before it becomes late-stage rework.

Real-World Buildability

PVFARM models what actually matters in the field: terrain-following trackers, cut-and-fill balance, mixed equipment configurations, variable ILR, full collection systems, haul roads - the real-world details developers and EPCs sweat over. And it handles all of this at gigawatt scale on a standard laptop. 

This isn’t conceptual modeling; it’s construction-ready insight.

Map Costs at a Glance

From early concepts to EPC-ready deliverables, PVFARM keeps everything in one platform.
That means developers and EPCs can identify million-dollar risks before they turn into change orders - and move projects from idea to investment-grade faster than ever.

What This Award Means for the Industry

When we launched PVFARM in January 2024, our goal was to make solar engineers feel like Swiss Army knives - able to move fluently across layout, civil, and electrical disciplines instead of working in silos. Not by AI magic, but by exposing the right physics, constraints and trade-offs at the right moment.

Winning Best in Show is validation that this shift isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s happening across major EPCs, engineering teams and developers who now design 96% faster with radically lower risk.

We built PVFARM because we believe that utility-scale solar deserves tools that match the scale of its ambition. Seeing the industry recognize that - and name PVFARM the most impactful large-scale product of 2025 - makes every late night and gnarly geometry challenge worth it.

A Quick Thank You

To our customers:
You’re the reason PVFARM keeps evolving. You stress-test it, break it and push it in ways we never could in-house. You’re shaping the future of large-scale solar - and raising the bar every day.

To Solar Power World and the judges:
Thank you for looking closely at what the industry really needs, and rewarding the tools built to move it forward.

And to the engineers out there wrestling with grading maps and collection constraints: We see you - and we’ll keep building for you.

Onward.
