Core Functions

Smart Planning for Maximum Sunshine Utilization

Smart Terrain Analysis

Our proprietary algorithms analyze slope, aspect, and shadows to automatically evaluate site compatibility, identify the 'optimal layout zone', and reduce survey costs with data‑driven accuracy.

Precision Module Layout

Allows full customization of array types, spacing, and layout rules to automatically generate module arrangements. In mountainous terrain, it intelligently adapts to natural divisions, ensuring both energy yield and site compatibility.

Intelligent System Layout

Powered by in-house algorithms for road, array, combiner, and cable planning, it automatically generates integrated layouts—making plant design more efficient and precise.

Optimized Structural Design

Features end-to-end automated structural design, supported by proprietary precision simulation. It adapts to requirements across all project phases—from resource assessment to preliminary and detailed design. Equipped with an extensive library and optimization algorithms, it enhances design efficiency while ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Mountain Project for an Energy Company

During early project development, 15 potential sites required evaluation. Traditional site surveys were time and resource intensive. Using "GSE Pioneer," the team automatically extracted satellite terrain data, completed slope, aspect, and shadow analysis within one minute, identified viable layout zones, and remotely screened all sites—combining speed, convenience, and precision.

Reserve Land Project for an Enterprise

A 100MW PV plant was planned, yet the team lacked dedicated expertise and theoretical data to support decision-making. By using "GSE Pioneer" and importing the site boundary plan, they completed resource assessment within 15 minutes, generated module layouts, energy yield simulation reports, bill of quantities, and delivered a project proposal — quickly and reliably.

Agrivoltaic Project for a Client

The project consisted of 14 scattered plots totaling nearly 3,500 mu of land, with compensation fees of 7,500 yuan/mu and total land costs exceeding 28 million yuan. During the feasibility stage, the initial IRR was calculated at only 6.9%, below the investment threshold. Using the "GSE Pioneer" design platform for scenario comparison and multi-dimensional optimization, the team rapidly refined the layout, raising the IRR to 7.03%.
