wherein the basic design and project implementation strategies are established with the necessary approvals, permits, and agreements in place, the project then moves into its next phase, which is Detailed Engineering.
We enable project developers to leverage the benefits of a split contract structure for developing solar power projects. From DC side electrical engineering to infrastructure, structures, AC side engineering, and substation engineering, we provide comprehensive engineering services.
We have provided detailed engineering for over 17GW of solar projects in various countries like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Vietnam, the USA, Egypt, and other African countries.
Overall layout, including string and module grouping, module orientation and inclination, row spacing, cable plans, nominal power ratio sizing, inverter and substation design.
DC-side electrical system design right from the PV module to the inverter inputs. This essentially includes the sizing of connectors, connection boxes, string combiner boxes, DC distribution boards, DC cable run lengths and sizes.
AC-side electrical systems are designed from the inverter output to the grid interconnection and metering point. This will essentially include the LV/MV and MV/HV transformers, grid connection schematics, and metering.
