About South Facing Solutions
Every solar engineering team has drafting and analysis work that takes days and produces nothing new: the same table geometry redrawn at a different tilt, a bill of materials rebuilt by hand, a shading check repeated in separate software. South Facing Solutions builds tools that take that work out of the day, inside the SketchUp and AutoCAD seats teams already use.
What we offer
Ready-made: TrueSouth
TrueSouth is a SketchUp extension for early feasibility. It gives you ray-traced shading and an hourly generation estimate for the panels in your model, as a report you can hand to a client. It is sold online as a perpetual license. Buy TrueSouth or read the user guide.
Custom automation
For work tied to a team's own standards (structures, table placement, stringing and cabling, single line diagrams, GA sheets) we build automation around your templates and conventions. Every project starts with a feasibility study with a fixed price, so you see working proof before committing to development. How we work.
Who's behind it
South Facing Solutions was founded by Akhil Pandya, a solar PV design engineer with an M.Sc. in Renewable Energy and hands-on experience in rooftop, commercial and industrial solar using SketchUp, AutoCAD, STAAD Pro and PVsyst. Every tool here began as a real project task that was taking longer than it should have.
How we work
- Your files stay yours. TrueSouth processes models on your own computer, and custom tools work inside your existing software and formats.
- Honest numbers. TrueSouth reports say clearly that they are feasibility-grade estimates.
- Fixed prices. Products are priced upfront; custom builds get a fixed scope and price before development starts.
