About PVCase: 

PVcase creates advanced software to break logjams in the engineering and construction of renewable energy projects, making them less labor-intensive, time-consuming, and complicated. Our technology enables developers to complete projects faster, more efficiently, and more precisely – accelerating the global transition to clean energy. It’s the top choice of renewable energy design professionals and development companies in nearly 80 countries. PVcase is particularly focused on tackling the problem of “data risk,” from the degradation of data over the course of a project. Discrepancies in data from dozens of sources can hamstring a project and cause it to underperform its expected energy output. PVcase puts an end to clunky processes and corrupted data and clears our path to a net-zero economy.

In 2024 PVcase was recognized as #104 in the Financial Time’s index of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies and selected for. and winning the Bloomberg NEF’s prestigious Pioneer Award. David recently penned a byline for Renewable Energy World on what he believes to be the most pressing issue constraining renewable energy growth, data risk.
