What we build

Software that lives inside your CAD.

Every tool is built around the way your team already draws: your standards, layers, blocks and title blocks.

AutoLISP · Visual LISP

LISP routines

Quick, dependable commands for repetitive drafting. We also convert old VBA macros to LISP so they keep working in new CAD releases.

Web-based portals

Not everyone who depends on your drawings has CAD open. We can put your calculators, estimates and project data in a browser, built around your standards.

  • Calculators for cable sizing, losses and voltage drop
  • Early estimates of a site's capacity
  • Drawing registers and shared libraries
  • Drawing checks that run in the cloud

More about PVAstra
PVAstraby REY TechnologiesLaunching soon

From site boundary to bill of quantities, in one drawing.

PVAstra takes a utility-scale site from its boundary to arrays, cables, trenches and bills of quantities. Every tool reads what the previous one wrote, so nothing is drawn twice.

  • Site setup from the boundary: fence, roads and PV areas
  • Terrain, slope and shadow analysis
  • Standard and adaptive array placement
  • Grouping, string and inverter cables, trenches
  • Capacity tables, cable schedules and SLD

Process

How a project runs.

Four steps, with working builds in your hands well before the end.

  1. Discuss

    We talk through your workflow, your standards and the drawings you produce today. A sample DWG helps a lot.

  2. Discover

    We work out what can be automated, agree the scope and send a fixed quote split into milestones.

  3. Develop

    We build in short rounds and send working builds for you to test on your own drawings.

  4. Deploy

    You get an installer, a user guide and support while your team settles in.

About and clients

A small studio that clients keep coming back to.

You talk to the person who writes your tool, from the first call to the final release.

Satish Rajdev

Founder

REY Technologies began as a drafting and CAD customization practice more than fifteen years ago. Today we build plugins and full design applications for engineering teams around the world, and our own solar design software, PVAstra.

Because we've drafted for a living, we know which clicks hurt. That's usually where a project starts.

★★★★★
I presented several problems and thought I knew how best to address them. Satish then proposed solutions that I didn't even know were possible.

“I keep hiring Satish for his attitude, his willingness and his amazing skills. His main goal is to make the project successful.”
Eli BenaritBenarit Advanced Technologies Ltd, Israel
“Rey Technologies helped us with various CAD automation scripts written in LISP. They listened well to our ideas and also came up with some useful proposals.”
Alex MelsenBackbone International, Netherlands
“Thank you for all the wonderful LISP routines you have provided for my company. It will save a lot of manual data processing time.”
Spence McDougalPakenham Drafting Services, Australia
