From a site question to an owner-ready decision.

The free site screen turns a location into an initial, evidence-labelled view of nearby infrastructure, site context and the opportunities that may deserve attention. If you do not have a site ready, choose a country and PV8 selects a real plant there. Public signals are screening evidence, never owner facts or connection rights.

Confirm your work e-mail and PV8 opens an isolated seven-day workspace with the site screen already attached. You can create the asset from a recoverable draft and continue without retyping the location or the promising routes.

The trial includes one completed owner asset and the Basic plan’s available module exports, including PDF, RFP, DXF and SLD outputs where the module and evidence support them. Deterministic module runs are not metered.

PV8 Concierge is the optional AI-assist layer across your assets. Its agents read your documents and PV8's deterministic screens and propose — with a citation for every value: extracting evidence for an asset, prioritising which opportunities to assess, drafting evidence requests and counterparty briefs, preparing tender documents and committee papers, and monitoring your portfolio for changes that matter. Every agent proposes; you confirm. PV8's deterministic engines do all calculation, and nothing is recorded, sent or committed until you approve it. It is the optional AI-assist layer, not part of a module subscription.

No. Owner data, accepted assumptions, reviewer comments and expert evidence remain inside the owner’s workspace and are not pooled into cross-customer aggregate benchmarks.

Both default to seven days. The asset owner can choose another duration while creating the link or invitation and can revoke expert access earlier.

No. Anyone holding an active owner-approved link can view the frozen report or the completed collaborative run and download the deliverables inside that link without registering. A recipient verifies control of a work e-mail through a one-time link before changing assumptions, recalculating or commenting. That verification is scoped to the single shared record and does not create an account.

A PV8 account is required only when the recipient chooses to retain the work in a workspace, expand it into other modules or originate a new asset. The shared link never exposes the owner’s Asset Profile, saved outputs, evidence inbox or other modules.

Early-stage questions about alternative or additional uses of an existing PV plant: what may fit, what existing PV is affected, what energy or material flows result, what the indicative economics look like, and what evidence is still missing.

It is a screening and decision-support platform. It does not replace detailed design, OEM confirmation, surveys, permits, legal due diligence, grid studies or binding commercial quotations.

Yes. Name the asset and add any real location, operating fact or source file. The draft remains recoverable and does not enter the portfolio until you review and save it. Unknowns remain visible; they do not silently become zero.

Start with files. Upload whichever evidence exists — KML/KMZ boundaries and land plots, DXF/DWG layout, PVsyst report, SLD, SCADA/meter data and engineering data-room files. PV8 extracts supported fields, retains the source files in Asset Profile, and then asks for missing information manually.

One power plant may cover several land parcels. Upload one KML or KMZ per plot and give each plot a client-friendly name in Asset Profile.

Dropping the engineering data room (SLDs, stringing plans, cable and equipment schedules, GIS files, whole ZIPs) builds a connected electrical and spatial model of the plant: tables, strings, inverters, transformers, the substation. Modules then answer with plant-specific granularity — which strings a placement cuts, what the transformer can actually carry, where the point of connection really is — instead of area-level averages.

The twin reports its own completeness and flags conflicting evidence for review; it never invents topology that the documents don't support.

The hourly series is the single highest-value upload. It replaces annual averages in time-resolved hydrogen utilisation, direct-wire load match, grid-connection utilisation and curtailment screens — and a quality-screened full year replaces the asset's annual energy figure. Without it, those screens run on stated annual figures and say so.

The journey presents one compact decision step at a time, saves progress, and ends with Review and submit. Depending on the module those steps cover the objective, technical envelope, evidence, economics and delivery constraints. A screening shortcut uses the visible defaults immediately.

PV8 shows live elapsed time, the current calculation stage and an estimated duration. Inputs remain saved if you leave the page. The published result appears only when the calculation settles, and reruns never overwrite a frozen output or share link.

The same inputs always produce the same outputs, from engineering and financial logic you can inspect in the assumptions list. No ranking is influenced by commission or by a model's mood. When PV8 uses an external source — a public price series, a cadastral service, a vendor datasheet — the output names it.

• Input: a value used in the calculation, such as capacity, price or equipment dimensions.
• Assumption: an editable screening value used because project evidence is unavailable.
• Evidence: a traceable customer file, official dataset, measured series, OEM record or connected provider output.

Outputs identify uncertainty rather than silently replacing unknown values with zero.

Yes — that is the point of one shared asset record. End-of-life funding and cohort evidence stored in the liability module remain available when a later recycler route and RFP are built. The grid-import limit confirmed in one screen bounds the MDC's grid draw. Where a module needs something another module produces, it says so in its inputs or assumptions.

Screening, Indicative and Evidenced summarize the completed result. Individual claims can still be marked UNVERIFIED, REVIEW or SCREENING so you can see exactly which item limits confidence and what would close it.

Source references stay beside the claims they support and remain attached to saved reports. Hover or open provenance to inspect whether a value came from an owner file, an official dataset, a vendor record, a connected provider or a labelled assumption.

It says so. A missing vendor dimension becomes a labelled estimate with named comparables — or an explicit refusal with instructions on what to obtain. A dead data source degrades to the evidence that remains, with a warning. Nothing is silently replaced by zero or by an invented value.

Module maps start at the PV plant centroid and can combine the site boundary, PV layout, uploaded land plots, Google base maps and relevant official overlays. Maps include a ruler and polygon area tool. Module-specific tools add draggable equipment, route creation, affected-table highlighting or parcel lookup.

Where a layout is part of the decision, the frozen report preserves that layout over the site imagery. Mapped cadastre is indicative for screening; legal boundaries must be verified professionally.

An unfinished module's inputs autosave privately to the asset as a draft, so you can resume or discard them. After a successful run, its latest summary appears in Recent work; rerunning that module replaces the latest entry. Save to Asset Profile creates a named, frozen copy under Saved outputs that later reruns cannot change. A share link independently freezes the run being shared, so sharing does not require saving it first.

Original uploads and categorized engineering or land documents remain under Asset Profile → Files.

A scoped request package built from the actual screen: quantities, site facts, selected candidates or routes, funded and owner scopes, and the open questions a bidder must answer. The RFP inherits the screen's honesty — unknowns appear as bidder questions, not invented facts.

An owner can share one frozen run without exposing the Asset Profile. After verifying a work e-mail, an invited recipient can review the result, change permitted assumptions, recalculate and comment. Comments are visible to the owner team and the permitted recipients of that record; the owner can revoke the link.

Yes. A recipient can submit a message and any values they know, with or without a supporting file. The response enters the owner’s Evidence Inbox; nothing changes a result until the owner reviews and accepts it. Earlier frozen outputs remain unchanged.

It is an owner-controlled room around selected frozen analyses. It keeps the source register, evidence, tasks and decisions, and immutable activity together. Review packets are scoped and time-limited, and closing the room does not rewrite the underlying asset or saved runs.

The exact list follows the module and the evidence available. It can include PDF or HTML management reports, RFI/RFP/RFQ packages, KML geometry, DXF layouts and cable or servitude geometry, equipment registries and an updated SLD. Unsupported or unevidenced files are not implied.

Select assets and modules, review the run matrix and submit the bounded batch. PV8 schedules independent cells in parallel, reports progress and keeps each completed output attached to its source asset. You can cancel remaining work or resume an interrupted batch without recalculating successful cells.

Portfolio rankings and the comparison CSV put common decision measures side by side while preserving each result’s confidence and open evidence gaps. Open any cell to inspect the full frozen result before acting on a rank.

Yes. Choose a predefined candidate from the library, or choose the customer option and upload a datasheet. For a customer solution, confirm or manually enter the name, IT capacity, facility kVA, PUE, shell dimensions and any model-specific clearance or planning-envelope data.

It is the area needed to place and operate the selected MDC — not merely the equipment shell. Depending on evidence, it can include directional maintenance, access, fire and heat-rejection clearances plus shared external infrastructure. PV8 prioritizes customer/project and vendor evidence; otherwise it clearly labels screening geometry.

The selected MDC envelope is overlaid directly on the existing PV layout. As the block is dragged, PV8 highlights intersected tables and the full affected strings, then recalculates modules, DC kWp, AC impact where supported, and annual kWh sacrificed. The summary below the map updates with the placement.

The dashboard estimates annual facility consumption from the selected IT capacity and PUE, applies the client-selected share of PV input, and reports the remaining MWh to cover from the grid. Where the external data source is available, it also contextualizes the grid purchase using industrial electricity prices for the previous three full years.

Confirm the vendor topology and envelope, civil and fire design, cooling performance, noise, connectivity, planning status, grid import/export and transformer capacity, redundancy, power quality, construction access and a site-specific energy-supply contract.

Only after the primary liability result. Choose a 50, 100 or 200 km radius in the execution layer, then build a route to a candidate. Proximity does not prove scheme eligibility, PV-module acceptance, future capacity or funded transport.

PV8 builds the full-site cost of isolation, dismantling, testing, packing, on-site handling, transport, treatment, ancillary equipment, civil removal, restoration and contingency. It deducts only confirmed in-kind services or secured funding, with controls against double counting.

Enter it manually if you have a quote — a manual value always wins. Otherwise PV8 can derive a bracket from public waste-treatment contract awards (TED) for the asset's country: median and quartiles with the number of underlying awards. It is labelled a public-procurement bracket, never a private quote — mixed WEEE streams, contract-total ambiguity and public-pricing bias are stated with the number.

National first-placement date and country for each cohort; first placer/importer; current producer or collective-system confirmation; funded balance or guarantee; executed contract scope, security and transferability; and priced dismantling-to-restoration scope.

Choose one or multiple named plots uploaded in Asset Profile, or use the polygon tool for part of a plot. Finish the polygon by double-clicking the last point or choosing Confirm selection. PV8 calculates the selected area in square metres.

It combines the selected released area, achievable rent and term. The current as-built PV overlay is shown only as a release-evidence check: any intersected tables must be confirmed as removed or relocated in the post-repowering layout before the land is treated as available.

It screens sale and leaseback over the chosen perimeter, including the measured area, affordable lease stream and indicative investor-value range. It is an option-comparison output, not a property valuation, title opinion, tax analysis or financing commitment.

Where evidence and services are available, the map can show or hide Google imagery, KML/KMZ land plots, PV layout and cadastral parcels/numbers. It also includes a ruler and polygon area tool. Cadastral geometry remains indicative until confirmed by legal and survey work.

It maps potential nearby consumers and ranks opportunity leads from available open data. For a selected point, PV8 builds indicative route variants — such as shortest, lowest complexity, lowest estimated CAPEX and lowest land-rights exposure — and reports length, crossings, constraints and screening CAPEX.

Compare buyer interval consumption chronologically with PV generation. You can upload the profile yourself or send an RFI from the selected off-taker screen. The buyer receives a purpose-limited secure link, which expires after seven days by default, and can submit the profile without a PV8 account. The response is validated and staged in Evidence Inbox; it does not change the asset or any output until the asset owner chooses Approve & update result.

The update runs the load match using the preserved route and commercial context — no PDF download or file re-upload — and records the new run and its source. A short clean period can support a screening-grade annualisation; commercial-grade treatment requires approximately a full year with at least 98% coverage and consistent time handling.

No. Accepting the profile or expert assumption updates the module's latest run. Frozen Saved outputs and existing share links retain exactly what they contained; when a review started from a particular Saved output, PV8 creates a new derived version and preserves the original.

PPA price is the energy price paid under the power contract. Buyer all-in cost is calculated as the sum of the PPA/energy component, grid charges, taxes/levies and other entered charges. It is displayed as a calculated total rather than an independent editable input.

No. Candidate identity and demand must be verified with the buyer. Route outputs are indicative corridors, not surveyed cable designs or land agreements. Confirm voltage, point of connection, permits, crossings, easements, losses, protection, metering, legal eligibility and a binding construction estimate.

Select PEM or alkaline technology, electrolyser kW, specific electricity consumption, minimum stable load, process-water intensity/recovery, planning area and commercial assumptions. PV8 uses the asset’s annual or chronological PV evidence where available.

The screen reports energy delivered to the electrolyser, hydrogen production, utilisation/operating hours, energy below minimum load or otherwise unused, process and source-water demand, planning footprint and indicative CAPEX/OPEX/revenue metrics.

No. It does not conclude RFNBO eligibility, additionality/temporal correlation, water availability, grid treatment, hydrogen offtake, compression/storage/export design, hazardous-area classification, oxygen use, permitting or safety case. Generic references are not vendor products.

It keeps three questions distinct: crop evidence and canopy fit, machinery access/turning/vertical clearance, and regulatory screening. The client can draw the part of the plant where mounting structures would be raised; PV8 calculates affected tables, modules to remove and reinstall, and the retrofit scope.

Not without a validated site-specific agronomic and irradiance model. Published agrivoltaic observations are presented as evidence, not silently transferred as this site’s yield. Climate, soil, cultivar, canopy geometry, irrigation and operational practice require local confirmation.

Draw the intended greenhouse polygon within an uploaded land plot, choose a crop, and enter or use editable heat/electricity intensity assumptions. PV8 estimates annual useful heat and electricity demand and reports PV tables/strings affected, DC kWp lost and annual kWh sacrificed.

Structural/foundation adequacy, wind/snow loads, crop and machinery plan, drainage/irrigation, access and safety, fire provisions, construction sequencing, PV downtime/re-stringing, planning and agricultural eligibility, and a climate-specific greenhouse energy model where relevant.

Upload measurements, enter a value manually, sample Global Wind Atlas at the PV plant centroid, or use the server-side Meteomatics connection when configured. Select the measurement/model height and evidence class. Public-atlas and weather-model data support screening; they are not a bankable site-correlated wind study.

Choose a curve-backed model and hub height, number of turbines, placement radius from the plant centroid and directional spacing. PV8 calculates total kW as turbine rating × feasible count. It searches the placement radius around the plant — turbines are sited around the PV parcel, not on it — then allows turbines to be added, deleted, dragged or replaced with another model.

The circle around a turbine is the minimum distance inside which another turbine fails the spacing rule regardless of wind direction. The output separately reports the longer directional downwind and crosswind requirements. It is a micrositing constraint — not a regulatory setback, noise buffer or property-right boundary.

PV8 places an editable collector substation automatically, or the client can place and drag it manually within the allowed site. Each accepted move automatically rebuilds the conceptual minimum-spanning-tree MV cable routes and recalculates cable lengths and PV crossings. Detailed voltage, ampacity, losses, trenching, protection and civil design remain open.

PV8 first checks cached official parcel geometry and then queries the connected cadastral feature service at turbine coordinates. A visible cadastral map layer alone contains imagery, not necessarily parcel attributes. The registry distinguishes a source failure from no parcel returned. Croatian results use the official DGU service when available and remain indicative, not a legal title or survey result.

Outputs include turbine/model registry, coordinates and parcel references where available, foundation and temporary areas when evidenced, tip height, cable path, gross and net allocated AEP, wake/other losses, hybrid grid curtailment, PV displacement, capacity and indicative economics. Natura 2000 and available national environmental layers are screening overlays only.

Use optimization when the client has not selected hardware. PV8 proposes the mix from the site limits and surrounding offer. Choose the client-specified route when a fleet operator, CPO or supplier has already defined the chargers to assess.

No. PV8 can draw and test the planning envelope even when import capacity is insufficient or unverified. The output keeps spatial feasibility separate from the capacity upgrade required for operation.

Yes. The discovery path maps nearby water assets and climate-stressed agricultural land first. A mapped canal, reservoir or pumping station is only a lead; it does not prove condition, capacity, demand, rights or operator interest.

Record a specific candidate and evidence its service demand, head, flow, efficiency, operating pattern, operator and water-rights basis. PV8 then calculates energy intensity, annual volume, PV/grid allocation and service economics while leaving unevidenced gates explicit.

The as-built plant remains the evidence-backed reference. Candidate equipment, layouts and commercial assumptions live in a scenario, so an intervention cannot silently rewrite current capacity, inventory or production.

Confirm module and inverter datasheets, string voltage/current limits, structure and foundation loading, warranty and grid-code implications, battery fire and protection design, quotations, construction sequencing and the funded end-of-life route.

No. Public hosting-capacity, queue and reinforcement data is an application-screening signal. It is not reserved, not a connection offer, and not proof that the displayed node is this asset's electrical point of connection. PV8 keeps it separate from the connection agreement and point-matched operator evidence.

As a discovery and provenance layer. PV8 identifies Capacitypedia visibly, links separately to original operators or public authorities where available, and preserves the publisher's definitions rather than asserting that capacity fields are equivalent across countries.

A system event, negative price or low production can be useful context but does not prove that this plant was curtailed. Asset curtailment needs point-matched dispatch, PPC/SCADA limits or another asset-specific source. The module never converts wider conditions into an asset event.

You can enter clearly labelled owner scenarios for energy value, recoverable curtailment, flexible capacity, enablement cost and connection-modification effects. PV8 calculates NPV and payback where the inputs are complete, but does not relabel those assumptions as verified evidence. A missing input remains explicit rather than becoming zero.

The execution layer prepares capacity-envelope, flexibility-eligibility, curtailment-and-dispatch and connection-modification RFIs. The owner can also monitor queue, reinforcement, congestion and curtailment publications, and may opt into recalculation when new owner-approved evidence is recorded.

The Connection Passport, apparent interval envelope, candidate uses and owner-authorised opportunity brief. Grid data sources, capacity context and operator connectors live in this module; Connection Exchange links here when that context is needed.

No. Miner hardware is calculated from the selected unit price and device count. Infrastructure CAPEX is a separate editable total for containers, electrical distribution, cooling, civil works, controls and interconnection. PV8 shows both components and their sum so changing one cannot silently rewrite the other.

Yes. Select the PV-only or PV-plus-grid supply basis and adjust the PV share. The balance remains available for grid export. Recalculation updates consumed energy, opportunity cost, grid purchases, revenue, EBITDA, NPV and payback together.

Confirm import and export rights, curtailment logic, electrical design and power quality, container access and noise/heat treatment, planning and tax position, supplier quotations, pool terms, network assumptions and hardware availability. Catalogue prices are dated screening evidence, not firm quotations.
