Solar power plant design

The agreed package may include electrical drawings, an equipment layout, 3D visualisation, cable routes, specifications and a yield forecast. The exact list is defined in the design brief. Before handover, we agree file formats, document versions and the procedure for handling changes. Installation documents and the results of future commissioning checks belong to different stages.

The client provides available plans, consumption data, connection documents, operating requirements and budget. Site assessment findings clarify the physical conditions. At the start, we agree the missing information and who will obtain it. Structural surveys, topographical surveys or alterations to existing electrical infrastructure, if needed, are defined separately in the work scope.

The proposal for your site defines the design schedule. We consider the document scope, engineering complexity and completeness of input information. Changes to the brief or equipment require a schedule review. External approval timelines are considered separately from design work.

The cost depends on the agreed brief, document scope and any additional work required. The proposal specifies the design services and budget. If you order a combined package with installation, we separately agree the design scope and its cost within the overall proposal.

The brief and proposal define the design scope, work on existing electrical infrastructure, related surveys and approval support. We prepare and submit documents to the network operator when required and agreed. External decisions and timing are considered separately; a completed design alone does not establish that connection, installation or commissioning has been completed.

We model expected generation using the orientation, shading and equipment characteristics. This is a calculated forecast for the selected configuration, rather than a guarantee of actual energy production. Results depend on the model inputs and the plant’s operating conditions.
