Delivery

Build sequence and O&M.

Five stages on site, in order, then a maintenance programme that holds the yield where the design put it.

Testing, commissioning and handover

What happens
Insulation and string tests, energisation, records.
What you hold at the end
Test results, an energised system and the records.
Operations and maintenance

Holding the yield, year after year.

A plant is only as good as its maintenance. We run O&M on a schedule set by the site and report against the design.

Performance monitoring

Output read against the expected yield.

The programme runs as a loop: every report feeds the next round of monitoring.

One contractor across the whole job, so responsibility is not split between a supplier, an installer and a maintenance contractor.

Every job starts with a survey.

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