Site Analysis
A PV site analysis involves the recording of all relevant information about a PV site and the route, which is necessary for project development, plant design, construction and subsequent operation.
The site analysis represents a recording of all relevant information about a PV site and the route, which is necessary for project development, plant design, construction and subsequent operation.
What is a site analysis exactly?
In addition to surveying the site, we also use modern drone technology to achieve the most efficient and accurate results possible.
When does a site analysis make sense?
We will carry out a detailed, high-quality PV site analysis that records all the relevant features of the site in question, enabling you to make a well-informed decision. In addition to an on-site inspection of the area, we also use a drone to take aerial photos of the site and a detailed elevation profile.
Because of the large number of successful projects they have participated in, our engineers are intimately familiar with the requirements for modern PV systems. Our seasoned experts will carry out a detailed site analysis, in order to make accurate predictions about your prospective solar farm.
In our role as owner’s engineer, we will gladly check an existing site analysis for you. So, if you need a second opinion of an external site analysis, we will be happy to support you with our technical knowledge, as a neutral assessor.
We will conduct an on-site analysis and create an orthomosaic overview image and 360° panorama, showcasing a detailed description of the area. The results will be presented in a comprehensive report.
What makes our site analyses stand out in the crowd
3D drone photos and recordings of the site
An early photovoltaic drone survey allows us to construct an accurate 3D model of the potential solar power plant site, create a terrain profile in DEM that can be used in AutoCAD later. You can even record a video of the route.
Pinpoint identification of any objects that will produce shade
Accurate representation of the shading pattern, by means of a solar shadow analysis, largely determines the design of the future plant and allows us to simulate the influence of shading on yields.
Best possible plant design on the basis of the area analysis
The more detailed the area analysis, the more realistic the design of the system will be. The existing special features of the site, such as differences in height, shading objects and areas that cannot be built on, are taken into account. On this basis, the ideal system design can be drawn up.
