Engineering & Advisory Services

Advisory

Online Consultation

A structured remote session with our senior engineers to pressure-test an idea before you spend capital on it.

Bring a site, a tariff, a bill of materials or a half-formed plan. We work through it live with you, tell you what stacks up and what does not, and follow up with written notes you can circulate internally.

• Scheduled video session with a senior solar engineer
• Live review of your site, load profile or draft design
• Written summary and recommended next steps
• Follow-up clarification window by email

Site Studies

Geotechnical Investigation

Subsurface testing that tells you what foundation your array actually needs — before the piling rig arrives.

Soil strength, water table and corrosivity decide whether you drive piles, screw them or cast concrete. Getting that wrong is one of the most expensive mistakes in ground-mount solar. We test, interpret and give the structural team numbers they can design against.

• Borehole and trial-pit programme across the site
• Soil bearing capacity and resistivity testing
• Corrosivity assessment for buried steel
• Foundation recommendations for the structural design

Site Studies

Solar Radiation Assessment

An independent view of how much sunlight your site will really receive, and what that means for generation.

Every financial model rests on an irradiance number. We build that number from long-term satellite datasets calibrated against ground measurement, then account for the shading, soiling and terrain effects specific to your site.

• Long-term GHI, DNI and DHI data analysis
• Inter-annual variability and P50 / P90 bands
• Shading, soiling and terrain loss assessment
• Bankable irradiance report for lenders and modellers

Planning

Project Planning

The delivery plan that turns an approved project into a sequenced, resourced, datable programme of work.

We map every activity from land handover to grid synchronisation, identify the critical path, and attach the procurement lead times that usually derail solar schedules. You get a plan your contractors can be held to.

• Work breakdown structure and activity sequencing
• Critical-path schedule with procurement lead times
• Resource and milestone planning
• Risk register with mitigation owners

Planning

Financial Analysis & Project Planning

A financial model and delivery plan built together, so the numbers and the programme actually agree.

Returns are decided as much by schedule and degradation assumptions as by tariff. We build the model and the plan side by side, then stress-test both against the scenarios lenders will ask about.

• Full project financial model with sensitivities
• IRR, NPV, DSCR and payback analysis
• Capex and opex build-up tied to the delivery plan
• Scenario testing against tariff, cost and delay risk

Engineering

Solar System Design

Complete electrical and structural design for your plant, engineered around your site rather than a template.

Module and inverter selection, string sizing, cable routing, earthing, protection and mounting design — delivered as a coordinated drawing and calculation set that a contractor can build from and a lender can review.

• Array layout, string sizing and inverter selection
• Single-line diagrams and cable schedules
• Structural and mounting design
• Earthing, lightning protection and safety systems

Advisory

Solar Feasibility Study

One document that answers whether this project should proceed — technically, commercially and legally.

We combine resource data, a preliminary design, an evacuation review, a regulatory check and a financial model into a single decision-grade study, with a clear recommendation rather than a menu of options.

• Site, resource and evacuation assessment
• Preliminary design and generation estimate
• Regulatory, land and approvals review
• Financial viability analysis and go / no-go recommendation

Due Diligence

Lender's Engineer

Independent technical oversight on behalf of the institution funding the project.

We act for the lender, not the developer. That means honest technical due diligence before financial close, then drawdown certification and construction monitoring through delivery, so disbursements track real progress on site.

• Pre-financial-close technical due diligence
• Review of EPC contracts, warranties and guarantees
• Construction monitoring and drawdown certification
• Periodic progress reporting to the lender

Quoted to your project Enquire

Due Diligence

Plant Audit

A full health check on an operating plant, and a costed plan to recover the generation it is losing.

Underperformance is rarely one big fault; it is usually several small ones compounding. We measure, inspect and analyse until the gap between expected and actual generation is fully explained — then price the fix.

• Performance ratio and generation-loss analysis
• Thermography and I-V curve testing of modules
• Inverter, cabling and protection inspection
• Prioritised, costed remediation plan

Quoted to your project Enquire

Planning

Manpower Planning

Working out exactly who you need on site, when, and with which certifications.

Solar projects stall on people as often as on parts. We size the workforce against your construction schedule, define roles and competencies, and build the mobilisation and safety-training plan that keeps the programme staffed.

• Workforce sizing mapped to the construction schedule
• Role definitions, competencies and certification needs
• Mobilisation, ramp-up and demobilisation planning
• Safety induction and training framework

Compliance

Environmental Consulting

Environmental and social assessment, clearances, and the monitoring plan that keeps them valid.

From baseline surveys and impact assessment through to the consent applications themselves, we handle the environmental workstream and the ongoing compliance reporting that regulators and lenders both expect.

• Environmental and social impact assessment
• Baseline ecology, water and soil surveys
• Statutory clearance and consent applications
• Environmental management and monitoring plan

Quoted to your project Enquire

Due Diligence

Independent Engineering Report

An unbiased technical assessment of a project, written for investors, acquirers and regulators.

When capital changes hands, everyone needs a technical view that is not the seller's. We assess design, equipment, construction quality, contracts and generation potential, and state plainly what the risks are and what they are worth.

• Design, equipment and construction-quality review
• Energy yield assessment with P50 / P90 estimates
• Contract, warranty and compliance review
• Risk register with quantified mitigation measures

Engineering

Solar Commissioning

Structured testing and grid synchronisation that proves the plant performs before you accept it.

Commissioning is the last point at which problems are still the contractor's to fix. We run the full test regime, witness performance against the contracted guarantees, and close out the snag list before handover.

• Pre-commissioning inspection and continuity testing
• Insulation, I-V curve and protection-relay testing
• Grid synchronisation and utility compliance
• Performance guarantee testing and snag closeout

Quoted to your project Enquire

Delivery

Project Management

We run the project on your behalf — programme, contractors, cost and quality, through to handover.

A single accountable team holding the schedule, the contractors and the budget together, with reporting frequent enough that you hear about a slip while it is still recoverable.

• Day-to-day management of contractors and vendors
• Schedule, cost and change control
• Quality assurance and site supervision
• Regular reporting to owner and lender
