We offer a broad range of services for all planning phases in order to deliver the optimum PV power plant layout. Planning work for a PV power plant is usually split up in different phases: preliminary layout, modification of layout, detailed layout and adaption during construction.
Since our partners provide different mounting solutions, a part of the technical design is the selection of the optimal framework with regards to electricity generation and land utilization. Subject to circumstances, cabling can represent a significant portion of the project cost and we are able to minimize this with appropriate design and positioning of the mounting racks, inverters, switch gear in relation to each other and the grid connection point.

Design Engineering & Review :
Solpath’s Experienced team of engineers is capable of designing the plant itself as well as the vetting of contractor drawings.The designs are made or checked for compliance to scope of work as included in the contract, IEC and statuary requirements, generation and cost optimization, project safety and grid infrastructure.

Solar Electrical DC (Pre Inverter) 

PROJECT LAYOUT:

– Shadow losses can be significant depending on distance between modules
– Location of inverters can significantly control costs and losing cables

STRING COMBINER BOX:

– Inappropriate fuse rating poses risk to the modules and inverters
– Enough redundancy ensures higher equipment up time
– IP protection is essential to withstand the vagaries of nature
– Busbar sizing is critical to the safety of the equipment

CABLE SIZING:

– Increases cost and losses if inappropriately sized 
– UV protection and conduiting to prevent degradation because of exposure

– SCADA SYSTEM:

Monitoring at micro level ensures the accurate energy generation measurement and detection & retification of faults in minimum time.

Solar Electrical AC (Post Inverter) :
 
Transformer Rating:

– Can lead to loss in energy generation in case it is not sized optimally
– Enough redundancy ensures higher equipment uptime

LT AND HT PANELS:

– Appropriate relays ensure the maximum protection of the plant and detection of faults
– CT /PT Ratios need to follow the approved grid requirements

CONDUCTOR SIZING:

– Increases costs and losses in case of inappropriate sizing
– Appropriate protection in accordance with design fault current

Civil & Structural Drawings 

LAND DEVELOPMENT:

– Should be in accordance to the Topographic survey to minimize cutting/ filling and nevertheless provide similar heights for structures in a row

MODULE MOUNTING STRUCTURE:

– Should have correct clearance from the ground
– Should be designed according to the wind and seismic zone of the site

COMMON FACILITIES:

– Access roads should be provided in accordance to the shape of the land to ensure access to the whole plant particularly for heavy vehicles
– Drainage should be designed as per the rain pattern of the location and have slope according to the final drain outlet of the plant

INVERTER & CONTROL ROOM:

– Provision of natural/ forced ventilation
– Provision of natural/ forced ventilation

Solpath Energy has established relationships with global suppliers and manufacturers, allowing us to procure solar products backed by proven track records.

Solar PV project is a 25 year investment. It is important to maintain strict quality standards to ensure long term return from the project. Furthur delayed construction at the minimum leads to delayed revenue and increase in cost and at maximum can lead to cancellation of the project altogether. Effective construction supervision by Solpath Energy ensures quality, safety and adherence to implementation schedule.
