Solving Chennai's Unique Site Challenges
Intense Coastal Salinity & Cyclonic Wind Forces
Bay of Bengal maritime corrosion degrades conventional mounting frames, while northeast monsoons bring cyclonic wind gusts up to 160+ km/h.
We engineer heavy-duty STAAD.Pro certified mounting structures featuring 80-micron Hot-Dip Galvanization (HDG), SS316 hardware, and aerodynamic wind deflectors conforming strictly to IS 875 Part 3.
TANGEDCO CEIG Drawing Approvals & Strict Transformer Load Limits
TANGEDCO enforces stringent inspection norms on grid synchronization relays, islanding protection, and statutory drawing submittals.
Our engineers prepare 95%+ first-pass compliant Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), protection coordination charts, and earthing calculation sheets tailored to Tamil Nadu CEIG requirements.
7-Stage Technical Engineering Process
Requirement & Site Assessment
We collect electrical load data, roof architectural drawings, GPS coordinates, local DISCOM guidelines, and site constraints to establish baseline project parameters.
Solar Resource & Meteorological Modeling
Using Meteonorm and NASA satellite databases, we simulate annual Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) and Diffuse Irradiance specific to the site coordinates.
3D Layout & Shadow Path Simulation
We build a millimeter-accurate 3D digital twin of the rooftop or land terrain to simulate year-round shadow paths and optimize array pitch without self-shading.
Electrical Single Line Diagram (SLD)
Our electrical team designs DC string groupings, MPPT mapping, AC/DC combiner boxes, breaker coordination, surge protection, and earthing grid layouts.
Structural Wind Load Validation
We simulate extreme wind pressures (up to 180 km/h) on module mounting structures and roof anchors according to IS 875 (Part 3) to ensure total structural integrity.
CEI Approval Package & BOM Sizing
We compile submission-ready drawing sets, cable sizing sheets, voltage drop calculations, and bill of materials (BOM) tailored to local Gujarat CEI scrutiny.
