Solar Design & Engineering Solutions
Green Systems Technology partners with solar installers and contractors, offering comprehensive solutions for Solar PV design needs. With our expertise in state and AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) requirements, we ensure a high rate of first-time approvals.
Our services include:
- Preparing proposal drawings, including financial assessments.
- Producing Residential Solar Permit Plan sets for PTI (Permission to Install) and grid connection approvals.
- Engineering assessments by licensed professionals.
- As-Built drawings for PTO (Permission to Operate) approval.
Residential Solar Design Expertise
Our team specializes in creating Residential Solar Permit Plans. We provide a complete approach for residential PV projects, from initial proposals to permit set preparation, engineering reviews, and final as-built documentation.
Permit Plan Sets
Our Residential Solar Permit Plan Sets are designed to be accurate, clear, and easy for installation teams to follow. We ensure compliance with National Electric Code (NEC) regulations, AHJ requirements, and Homeowner Association (HOA) guidelines. We also quickly adapt to changes in local codes and specific client requests.
Our designs support various installation types, including:
- Flush mount systems
- Tilt roof systems
- Non-penetrating roof systems
- Ballast-mounted systems
- Ground mount systems
- Microinverters
- On-grid and off-grid systems
- Hybrid systems with battery backups
We can either follow your templates or provide our own detailed ones, ensuring consistency and accuracy with standardized blocks and data tables.
Our Permit Plan Sets Typically Include:
- Title page and sheet index
- Applicable codes and standards
- Project description
- PV layout and equipment placement
- Attachment point spacing and load calculations
- Wiring and conduit diagrams
- System specifications and electrical calculations
- Required signage and placards
To streamline permit set creation, we collect details such as homeowner information, equipment specifications (modules, inverters, racking), roof measurements (or satellite images), and electrical system details.
As-Built Drawings
If field conditions necessitate changes during installation, our as-built drawings reflect those modifications. These are often required by AHJs before PTO is issued. We swiftly incorporate changes to ensure timely final submissions.
Revisions & Adjustments
We understand that modifications may arise throughout the project. Whether it’s adjusting racking, layout, or electrical components, our team prioritizes revisions to keep your project moving forward and ensure updates are handled efficiently.
