Commercial Concepts
Feasibility, yield modelling and concept design for C&I rooftop, carport and ground-mount projects.
Commercial Concepts
Commercial solar decisions are made on a spreadsheet, but the numbers in that spreadsheet come from a design. If the concept overstates usable roof area or understates the electrical infrastructure work, the whole business case is wrong and nobody finds out until detailed design.
Our concept packages are built to be trusted at investment committee. Usable area is derived from real constraints — plant, skylights, safety zones, expansion joints, structural capacity where known — and the yield model is run on site-specific weather data with realistic loss assumptions. Where the roof cannot take the array, we say so at concept rather than at week ten.
We also produce the multi-option comparisons that these decisions actually need: rooftop against carport, self-consumption against export, staged build against single phase, each with its own capacity, yield and indicative cost envelope.
What you receive
Every item below is issued in your own template, with your layer conventions, title block and revision scheme.
- Constraint plan showing usable area, plant, access and exclusion zones
- Two to four capacity options with layout, module count and DC / AC capacity
- Yield model per option with monthly production and performance ratio
- Self-consumption and export analysis against supplied load data
- Indicative single-line concept and point-of-connection assessment
- Structural feasibility commentary and flag list for detailed design
- Shading study including adjacent structures and seasonal effects
- Concept report and comparison summary suitable for board presentation
- Aerial visualisation of the preferred option
