# Leaf Automation

> Leaf is a drafting automation plugin for AutoCAD that automates solar construction document production. It places strings with voltage window compliance, routes homeruns with K-means optimization, exports circuit and cable lengths to CSV, generates tags, and imports SolarEdge Designer PDFs. Built for commercial and industrial solar EPCs, engineering firms, and subcontractors. $299/mo per daily active user, averaged monthly. No seat limits. 14-day free trial.

Leaf does the drafting. You do the engineering. It accepts engineered inputs and produces construction-document-ready output in AutoCAD 2018-2026 on Windows.

## What Leaf Does

- Automatic solar panel stringing with NEC voltage window compliance
- Homerun routing with K-means optimization from string endpoints to inverters/combiners
- Circuit and cable length export to CSV for downstream engineering analysis
- Tag generation on construction drawings
- SolarEdge Designer PDF import into AutoCAD-ready format (no other tool does this)
- Support for SolarEdge optimizers, Enphase microinverters, and string inverters

## What Leaf Does NOT Do

- Panel layout, roof planes, obstruction modeling, system sizing
- Energy modeling, shading analysis, proposals
- Wire sizing, voltage drop calculations, load calculations
- Permit package generation, single-line diagram generation
- Engineering calculations of any kind
