For engineering offices

Design complex installations, hand them over cleanly.

PV, lighting, distribution board and home automation share one project model. The installer receives plans and dossier from the same source.

What you get

PV in the whole project

Modules, strings and inverters appear in the position plan and the single-line diagram. PlanElec flags missing or duplicate string links.

Show light and space

The lighting study and 3D view make the design clear to the client and the team before work starts.

KNX documentation in pilot

Power supply, actuators, channel assignment and push buttons appear in the single-line diagram. Group addresses and programming stay in ETS.

How a project runs

  1. Bring in the floor plan
  2. Plan PV, lighting and distribution board
  3. Hand the dossier to the installer

Claude and ChatGPT in your project workflow

The MCP connection to Claude or ChatGPT requires PlanElec Pro. These examples also require access to the named projects and the appropriate permissions.

Compare two planning options before handover

Starting point

The original design and an alternative are stored in two separate PlanElec projects. Before the handover discussion with the installer, you want to compare the recorded circuits, distribution boards and installation settings.

Example prompt for your assistant

Compare the planning summaries of my projects “Office – original design” and “Office – alternative”. Put circuits, distribution boards and installation settings side by side in a table. Flag missing or truncated information and suggest questions for the handover.

A useful result

You receive a comparison table and specific questions for the discussion. It covers the summaries returned by the tools; review spatial differences and technical sizing in the projects themselves.

These examples use project details, planning summaries and project notes. Continue editing devices, circuits and drawings in the PlanElec Studio. Full app control through MCP is a development goal.

Frequently asked questions

How does the installer continue with our plans?

The dossier goes to the installer as a PDF with single-line diagram, position plan and self-check report. With read-only access, the project itself can be viewed too.

Is there an ETS link?

No. PlanElec documents KNX channels and push buttons for the paperwork; group addresses and programming stay in ETS.

What does Pro cost for our office?

Pro includes three editing seats; more can be added one by one. Prices are on the pricing page; until the paid plans start on 1 November 2026, you use Pro in early access at no cost; register before then and you also use it for the whole of November.
