Digital Engineering with Aerotool.
A leading design software for commercial solar projects: The digital platform AEROTOOL sets new standards via a sophisticated 3D model to plan solar projects quickly and easily - intuitively, in real time and independent of location. AEROTOOL offers planning reliability, maximum efficiency, and innovative central project management with the greatest possible flexibility.
All your data in one tool
To make this possible, AEROTOOL brings together satellite images, comprehensive databases, and local building codes in just a few clicks to configure perfect photovoltaic solutions for roofs and open spaces. Thanks to sophisticated algorithms complex calculations are performed in seconds. Local weather conditions, wind maps, snow loads, possible shading, static standards and important factors are taken into account to find the most efficient and high-yield strategy for each photovoltaic system. The clearly defined process eliminates sources of error, saves resources and maximizes energy performance.
AEROTOOL recommends an ideal system design in 3D, outputs a CAD plan, prepares a project report designed for building authorities and provides a detailed material list.
Upon request, our international customer service team will take care of the design of your photovoltaic installations, including all structural and economic calculations. You will receive a complete plan of the installation, including the corresponding material lists for the entire system, which, in addition to the substructure, also includes the photovoltaic modules, inverters and cabling.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About AEROTOOL – PV Design Software from AEROCOMPACT
What is AEROTOOL, the PV design software from AEROCOMPACT?
AEROTOOL is our digital planning software for PV systems on roofs, facades, and open spaces. It consolidates site and planning data into a single project and uses this information to propose a 3D system design. The results include a CAD plan, a detailed bill of materials, and a project report tailored for building authorities. AEROTOOL is accessible at app.aerotool.com; registration is required to use the software.
What data is used in planning with AEROTOOL?
AEROTOOL combines satellite imagery with local building codes and takes into account weather data, wind maps, snow loads, potential shading, and structural standards. For roof design, roof dimensions can be captured via Google Maps. Project-specific details such as module type, roof structure, and desired layout supplement this data set.
What results and documents does AEROTOOL provide?
AEROTOOL delivers five key deliverables from the same project phase: a proposed 3D system design, a CAD drawing, a project report tailored for building authorities, a detailed materials list, and layout and assembly plans. This provides the design, material requirements, and assembly preparation all within a single, integrated project.
When should I use AEROTOOL, and when should I use the AERO.GO app?
AEROTOOL covers flat roofs, pitched roofs, facades, and open spaces, and provides, among other things, 3D system designs, CAD plans, project reports, and material lists. The AERO.GO planning app is designed to simplify pitched roof planning: Based on just a few roof parameters, it generates structural calculations, an installation plan, and material requirements without the need for detailed preliminary planning. AEROTOOL is thus the more comprehensive project tool, while AERO.GO offers a streamlined workflow for pitched roofs.
Does AEROTOOL perform structural calculations in accordance with EN standards?
Yes. AEROTOOL performs static calculations in accordance with EN standards, taking into account wind and snow loads at the site. The results are incorporated into the project report, which is formatted for submission to building authorities. The specific documentation required in each case continues to depend on the project, the site, and the relevant authority.
Can the AEROCOMPACT team handle the planning?
Yes. Upon request, our international customer service team will handle the design of the PV system, including structural and economic calculations. This includes an installation plan and a materials list; upon request, the design can also include modules, inverters, and cabling in addition to the mounting structure. To request this service, please contact us via the inquiry form or email office@aerocompact.com.
What resources are available to help me get started with AEROTOOL?
To get started, open AEROTOOL at app.aerotool.com and sign up. Once you’ve done that, you’ll have access to the planning assistant, planning videos, webinars, e-Designer training sessions, and the support platform. This allows you to choose between written, visual, and guided formats depending on your planning task.
How much can I save by using AEROTOOL instead of manual planning?
Above all, coordination cycles. Project management, map-based roof layout, shading analysis, structural calculations, layout and installation plans, as well as the complete bill of materials, are all created within a single project. This ensures that planning, material requirements, and installation preparation all operate based on a shared data set. AEROTOOL is available at app.aerotool.com; registration is required to use the service.
