Solar Panel Design – Step-by-Step Guide for Businesses 

When designing solar panels for any large buildings, we follow a process to ensure we utilise the roof or area to its maximum capacity.

Assess current energy requirements – we start by assessing the energy requirements of the building. The requirements will vary depending on what the building is being used for and how much energy is being consumed. For example, factories or production line facilities will have a higher energy consumption than storage facilities etc.

We also determine the average and peak power consumption. This is another aspect that will vary depending on what business the building operates in, the time of day, different seasons etc. Another area we look into is any specific operational requirements that may affect the solar panel design.

Site evaluation – We then visit the site where we can evaluate the building roof itself to determine the available space and orientation and identify any shading issues. At this stage, we also consider the structural integrity of the building/roof and identify any nearby obstacles that may affect solar panel installation.

This is the most essential part of the design process. We use the site evaluation to ensure we maximise the available area to give the biggest and quickest return on investment.

Determine optimum system size – Based on the energy requirements and site evaluation, we can then calculate the optimum size of the solar panel system required. We can also consider including a battery storage solution if this is desired.

Quotation and ROI – once the system size has been finalised, we can give an accurate quotation for the solar panel system and a more accurate ROI for your roof.

Once the quotation has been confirmed and you are happy to move forward, we can discuss a date for installation and discuss our maintenance services to ensure your solar panels remain in tip-top condition to maximise your return.
