Solar energy

Solar, built end to end.

We design, supply, install and maintain solar power systems, from a single pump conversion to multi-megawatt plant.

Scope of delivery

What we deliver on a solar job.

We carry a solar job from the first site visit to the maintenance programme, with the same crews throughout and one point of responsibility.

Six steps, every job
  1. 01

    Survey and load measurement

    Site visit, existing plant recorded, real load and run hours measured rather than assumed.

    OutputA measured load and run-hour record

  2. 02

    System design and yield modelling

    Array sizing, tilt and layout, expected yield modelled against the measured load.

    OutputArray layout and modelled yield

  3. 03

    Equipment supply and schedules

    Full bill of quantities built line by line from the drawings.

    OutputA line-by-line bill of quantities

  4. 04

    Structure, cabling and protection

    Foundations, mounting, DC and AC routing, protection and earthing.

    OutputStructure, cable routes and earthing in place

  5. 05

    Commissioning and testing

    String tests, energisation, records handed over.

    OutputTest records and an energised system

  6. 06

    Monitoring and O&M

    Output measured against the modelled yield, maintenance on a schedule.

    OutputOutput read against the model

Scale of work

The same six steps at every scale.

What changes is the size of the array, the protection and the structure, not the way the work is organised.

Routes we can build

Three ways to put the sun to work.

Every system we build follows one of three routes. Pick a route, then switch between day and night to see where the power goes.

PV arrayInverter or VFDChangeoverLoad or pumpBattery bankGenerator

Solar direct

PV array to inverter or VFD, straight to the load. Runs while the sun is up.

Sun on the array: power runs through the inverter straight to the load.

Storage on route B is built with ONESUN SBL lithium packs. ONESUN SBL storage

Start here

Every job starts with a survey.

Send us the site location and the load. We measure before we design.
