Solar energy
Start with the site. Then test the fit.
Solar PV converts sunlight into electricity. Planning should connect local conditions with the way electricity will be consumed or exported.
Define the site
Record location, available area, roof or land conditions, shading and access. Site-specific engineering and resource data are needed for a reliable yield assessment.
Match supply and demand
Review hourly demand alongside the expected solar generation profile. Annual totals alone do not show export peaks, evening demand or seasonal mismatches.
Check delivery constraints
Confirm connection capacity, permitting requirements, ownership, operating responsibilities and the treatment of exported electricity.
