Location Survey:

Performing site surveys for solar installation is the most important first step to collect information about the conditions and issues before any decision is made. There are a lot of aspects in doing a solar site survey for an installer. The amount of details site surveyors collect depends on the scope of the project.

What Details Solar Site Survey Provide?

• Whether the location is suitable or not for solar panel installation
• What and where are the shaded areas that might fall on proposed solar arrays during day time with maximum sun
• What type of mounting is required for the solar array
• Where do we locate the balance of system components? DC combiner box, ex-inverter, ac distribution box, batteries if required
• What are the energy needs of the building?
• How is the solar PV system going to be connected to the existing electrical system

Things Carried Out during a Solar Site Survey are:

• Roof Orientation and Shading Analysis
• Roofing Details
• Load Analysis
• Solar PV System Usability Check
• Financial Analysis

Viability Study

Concerning the rising costs of electricity in the future, people have begun to look for alternative energy options. Performing a viability study before deciding on a rooftop solar panel system installation is the smart ever way to create an economic model that could predict the feasibility of installing a solar panel system on the roof.

Creating a model tailored to the location is important. Besides viability study ensures access to the social implications of installing a solar panel system. The feasibility of solar systems installed on landfills is highly impacted by the available area for an array, operating status, solar resource, landfill cap status, distance to transmission lines, and distance to major roads.

Designing

As a specialist in design and drawing of solar PV power projects, we are dedicated to:

• Support customers for preparation of pre-bid technical documents
• Providing pre-design and drawing support for investors with the financial model on feasibility on investments
• Selection of the right technology
• Provide engineering advisory support to developers as owner’s engineer’s role to make sure on the design of solar power plants is the best
• Provide complete detailed design and drawing support to EPC
• Design support to all capacity of plants starting from small rooftop projects till multi-megawatt solar power plants

Our complete drafting, design, and engineering services enables us to create full submittal drawings that help in expediting the permitting process. WhiteShark, as a renowned solar service provider in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, helps in streamlining the permitting process, so that solar PV installers can focus on growing their business in their main domain area rather than investing and maintaining an in-house design team for creating permit drawings. Our solar development center located in Bhubaneswar helps in cost reduction and provides an unmatched cost advantage.

System Design

3 Key Steps to Proper Solar System Design:

• Calculate daily energy use by determining watt-hour use per month/year (information will be on utility bills)
• Get a system size estimate and identify how many solar panels you need
• Shop for the right solar system based on the efficiency and output of the panels you choose to effectively design your perfect system

Installation

There are steps and requirements to ensure professional installation and commissioning of PV systems, which is carried out according to the system size and complexity of the design. However, general guidelines that apply are:

• All disconnects are in off position during the final installation and commissioning
• Solar installation service matches the design documentation
• OCPD, conductors and disconnect are sized appropriately
• Compliance with all local AHJ and national codes is met
• Terminals connections and screws are securely tightened
• Equipment is securely mounted
• Roof penetrations are properly weather sealed
• Installations are matched to the solar installation services provider’s specifications and recommendations
