PV Specific Estimating Software

[sketchy]

Anyone know if such a product exists? If so can you point me in that direction? Or make a suggestion on a product that may work? We're getting into larger jobs (>500 kW) and I'm trying to nail down labor hours better. Right now it's really just a guess.

Everyone's silence is deafening... Guess that's a hard NO.

Just send your plan to racking manufacturer for the racking estimate. Module, Inverter & PV equipment should be easy to count

There is software for general contracting that can estimate labor hours. Nothing specifically for PV work that I know of. The software for general contracting is set up for large projects though, it's going to be too expensive and overkill for most PV projects. From what I have seen most PV contractors just set up their own spreadsheet based on their experience to do the estimates. FYI, labor hours are always an estimate, experience turns a guess into an estimate but that's as good as it gets.
