Providing early-stage solar farm feasibility studies; including capacity, yield and battery energy storage system footprint analysis (BESS).
Our Services
Problem.
You need to determine how much solar energy a property can generate, but you don’t have an engineering team.
You need sites analysed quickly, but your team is unavailable.
You need design validation from an external source.
Solution.
Harnessing the iterative power of RatedPower software, multiple versions of your most promising scenarios can be generated and compared faster than with traditional methods, enabling you to make time-sensitive decisions about your project confidently and at a lower cost.
Side-by-side comparison of a wide range of designs helps you extract the best solutions for your site.
Service.
Everything you need to progress your project to the next phase of development is included. This includes deliverables like capacity reports, layouts, yield estimates, CAD, bills of materials, and more, and a comparison matrix of multiple designs to help build confidence in the project.
Timing.
The creation and comparison of numerous scenarios, with a turnaround target of approximately one week.
Optimisation.
The iterative process allows us to consider multiple site-specific and general parameter combinations.
Site-Specific: inclusion / exclusion of various parcels; keep-out zones; topography analysis; site access; connection points and more.
General: equipment choice; trackers vs. fixed tilt; panel orientation; pitch; DC/AC ratio; inclusion of partial trackers and more.
Testimonial
“We have used Jake for preliminary design and layout work during site origination, and to help refine/optimise designs as we iterate throughout the greater development process. He is very responsive and collaborative, and his work has been invaluable to our decision-making process.”

About
With nearly 20 years of solar industry experience, I have worked with companies like Terrain Solar and Suntech to develop and optimise solar farms in Australia and the US. During my time at Terrain Solar, I led the initiative to become the first users of RatedPower in Australia.
