We assess project practicability and have an open dialogue with our customers on goals, schedule, expected financial attributes, specific risk factors, and project delivery. With our know-how in solar PV project development, ECOTEC is positioned to define development scope including permitting, entitlements, and other development issues.
The path to a solar farm
With many years of experience and know-how in all aspects of photovoltaic technology – from planning to logistics to installation – we offer comprehensive services. Whether you want to reduce your energy operating costs, achieve your carbon reduction goals, or protect yourself from price increases while caring for the environment, we will design and deliver the best possible solution for you.
01
Geotechnical surveys
Geotechnical surveys for photovoltaic farms include the analysis of soil and water conditions. Drilling, sounding and laboratory tests are carried out to determine the load-bearing capacity and stability of the soil for a suitable foundation design.
02
Logistics
Logistics for photovoltaic farm projects includes the planning and realisation of material transport on site. Experience and the use of specialised equipment, in often difficult terrain conditions, is key to ensuring project efficiency and timeliness.
03
Foundations
The construction of foundations for photovoltaic farms includes site preparation and the selection of foundation technologies, such as driven, screwed or concrete piles. This process ensures the stability and durability of the substructures for the modules.
04
Assembly
Installing the substructure and PV modules on a solar farm requires precision and excellent work organization. It is crucial to accurately position the substructure and assemble the modules according to the highest standards to make the optimum use of solar radiation and maximize energy efficiency.
05
Electrical installation
Installation on photovoltaic farms includes laying DC and AC cables, as well as installing and connecting inverters, switchgear and transformer stations. It is crucial to take care of the quality of the connections made. The works are concluded with tests and preparation of measurement protocols.
06
Fences
Installation of fences around the solar farm, is to ensure the safety and security of the installation from unauthorized access. This process includes the installation of fences around the entire area, including entry gates and adequate security features.
The general scope of our services covers the development of your solar PV-plant and due diligence.
01
A sampling of the services we can provide during the development phase of a project includes:
- Feasibility study and site planning appraisal
- System layout, design, and electricity generation projections
- Interconnection review and design
- Review of permits
- Site and construction analysis
02
On-site coordination and logistics.
We will be happy to provide you with all the services that are necessary on the site. Our company adheres to the general waste management procedures, preparation of preliminary assembly yards and internal logistics. If necessary we are able to provide and implement any model that is suitable, which saves both your money and time.
03
Foundations.
The basis for your photovoltaic power plant is the foundation. In accordance with the soil conditions and fitting with all types of mounting systems we deliver to you ramming, earth screw and concrete foundations. They are made by our certified teams that have the most modern hydraulic ramming-drill as well as encapsulation technique (Peri, NOE).
- Soil assessment and examination
- Soil management plans
- Water and wastewater treatment systems assessment
- Setting geodetic points
- Row calibration
- Tapping drill holes (if necessary)
- Column piling / drilling foundations / other foundations
04
Complete assembly.
Our project teams take the responsibility to install every PV system in accordance with best practices. We provide the following services when mounting a field solar plant:
- Installation of the supporting structure
- Transport and assembly of modules
- Connecting modules
- Assembly of the supporting structure of inverters
- Assembly management
- Monitoring system installation
05
Connection of the plant.
In addition to project supervision before and during the construction phase, we commence a rigorous testing and commissioning procedure at the completion of project construction. This ensures all installed systems are operating properly and will be covered by manufacturer warranties.
- Mechanical installation
- Electrical installation
- Mechanical and electrical system testing
