01Site, load and connection assessment
Review usable roof or land area, shading, electricity bills and load profile, site access and the proposed grid connection. Structural and ground conditions determine which mounting solution can be considered.
Expected deliverablesOutput: site plan, load profile, connection constraints and missing-data register.
02PV array and inverter engineering
Define the array layout, string configuration, DC/AC sizing and inverter selection. Check temperature-adjusted string voltage, current limits and the MPPT operating range against the selected equipment datasheets.
Expected deliverablesOutput: string schedule, cold Voc/hot Vmp, MPPT current and DC/AC checks.
03Energy yield and storage
Estimate annual generation using location, orientation, shading and system losses. Installed power in kWp is not the same as energy production in kWh. If storage is included, size it for usable energy, load power and required backup duration.
Expected deliverablesOutput: climate/loss assumptions, backup-load scenario, usable storage and BMS compatibility.
04Electrical design and protection
Specify the single-line diagram, cable sizing, voltage-drop assumptions, isolation, earthing and protection coordination. Grid-interface settings and monitoring requirements must follow the project conditions and applicable utility requirements.
Expected deliverablesOutput: SLD, cable/protection calculations, earthing and structural approval by the responsible engineer.
05Procurement and delivery
Prepare a bill of materials with model references, quantities and approved technical specifications. Confirm availability, warranty documents, delivery milestones and responsibility for shipping, inspection and any substitutions before ordering.
Expected deliverablesOutput: BOM, approved product documents, delivery schedule and inspection/shipping responsibilities.
06Construction, testing and handover
Agree the installation plan, inspection records and commissioning procedure. Handover can include as-built drawings, test results, equipment records, operating instructions and training, according to the contract.
Expected deliverablesOutput: test records, as-built drawings, training and a service plan as contracted.
