Deep dives
Growth and Transition of PV Case
PV Case started as a software solution for engineering processes in solar project designs, born from the experiences and challenges encountered at Detra Solar. Initially a small, singular product focused on utility-scale designs, the company has expanded its offerings to serve commercial and industrial rooftop projects, now catering to clients in 80 countries. The rapid growth has necessitated scaling from a handful of employees to nearly 300, resulting in new challenges, particularly in maintaining product quality and customer relations. This expansive growth was reflected in a significant Series B funding round, where the company successfully raised $100 million to enhance product development and market reach.
