03Planning & Engineering

Consider yield and execution together.

Technical engineering with yield in mind.

From early plant configuration through detailed design, SolPEG supports projects with technical system design, CAD planning, electrical documentation and bills of materials.

01

Concept & preliminary design

Early technical decisions determine land use, yield potential and later constructability. We develop and review robust plant concepts. Yield simulations can provide a compact decision basis for layout, orientation and system variants.

Request concept & layout design ↗

  • Site and module layout
  • Orientation, tilt and row spacing
  • Basic system and component selection
  • Yield simulations to assess layout, orientation and system variants
  • Technical constraints for further design
  • Planning documentation for permitting/submission where required
02

CAD module layout & string design

Arrangement and electrical configuration are developed so that electrical design, construction and yield objectives fit together.

Request string & cable design ↗

  • CAD module layout with mounting arrangement
  • Module-to-inverter allocation
  • String configuration
  • Consideration of geometric and electrical constraints
  • Drawing sets for coordination and construction
03

DC sizing

Cables, connection components and electrical losses are sized and documented for the project.

Request DC sizing ↗

  • DC cable sizing
  • Calculation of electrical cable losses
  • Sizing of relevant DC components
  • DC diagrams with component designations
  • Plausibility review of electrical design
04

Detailed design & documentation

The plant concept is developed into detailed design documents forming the technical basis for construction, installation, coordination and documentation.

Request detailed design ↗

  • Detailed design incl. bills of materials
  • AC cable design and routing
  • Equipotential bonding and earthing concept
  • Monitoring design and signal routing
  • Single-line diagrams and electrical overviews
  • Drawing sets for construction and documentation
  • Revision and as-built documentation according to project scope
05

Design review / revision

Designs prepared by third parties can also be independently reviewed and commented on by SolPEG.

Request a design review ↗

  • Review of provided design documents
  • Comparison of different design revisions
  • Review for technical consistency and plausibility
  • Comparison with assessments and project assumptions
  • Documented comments for revision and approval
04Detailed design

From layout to documentation

Engineering down to the technical detail.

Examples from SolPEG design documents. The website intentionally shows excerpts only — complete drawing sets contain additional technical layers and documentation.

01
Module layout

Site utilisation, module rows, access routes, construction areas and technical infrastructure in a coordinated overall plan.

02
String & configuration design

Electrical allocation and configuration are integrated directly with the plant layout.

03
Electrical design

Single-line diagrams, cable routing and technical documentation as part of detailed design.

Depending on the project, the design scope may also include AC cable planning, equipotential bonding, monitoring design and bills of materials.
