PanelClaw releases clawOS flat roof PV structural design software

By SPW | September 19, 2022

PanelClaw today releases clawOS as the centerpiece of its digital solutions portfolio, programmed to accelerate project development throughout all phases of each project. The clawOS software is a cloud-based structural design platform with the power and sophistication to handle virtually any project using the clawFR mounting system.

“Developed specifically for flat roof PV projects, clawOS is the solar industry’s most powerful and versatile racking design platform. Put the full power of the PanelClaw team in your hands and accelerate the design, permit, and as-built process like never before. Eliminate your place in the backlog and reduce the racking design process from days to minutes,” the company said in a press release.

“From our founding, PanelClaw has been committed to delivering the most reliable flat roof solutions with the lowest life-cycle cost, and now we’re adding to these goals: with velocity from conception through decommissioning. clawOS represents the first part of our upcoming suite of digital solutions that will continue to help our partners accelerate the adoption of flat roof PV,” said PanelClaw CEO Costa Nicolaou. “Our in-house, US-based design is here as your personal consultant for reviewing and optimizing designs, and for teaching you how to unlock the full potential of clawOS.”

“PanelClaw is known for its design services and those services are still available as a key element of PanelClaw’s value proposition. However, customers who adopt clawOS as an integral part of their project development process will reap the full benefits of its powerful automation,” said PanelClaw CTO John de Papp.

PanelClaw developed clawOS as its in-house project management tool to meet the needs of their engineering, sales, and customer support departments. The platform comes to market fully loaded and developed as the most powerful digital tool available in flat roof PV solar, with thousands of projects designed and constructed, totaling over 5 GW.

From individual point loads, multi-azimuth layouts and multi-rooftop capabilities, AutoCAD and Helioscope integration, a native layout engine, and a sophisticated wind and seismic engine used by PanelClaw engineers for over half a decade, clawOS boasts of a feature set found nowhere else. The cloud-based software allows for anytime, anywhere access to construction sets and calculation packages, with the ability to assess layout change impacts from the job site. Generate a complete permit package in minutes, including supporting calculations, reference documents, pricing/BOM, and stamped engineering letters.
