Our design services
-
We provide concept design services, which consist of the early phase of the design process of a particular solar installation.
A project at the concept design level is good enough to demonstrate a proposed solar panel layout to a client that includes simplified AC and DC diagrams.
Our concept design services can benefit project developers to preliminary model a concept or proposal, estimate costs of a project bid, elaborate a tender design, or illustrate a project offering for clients.
This type of design is a cost-effective solution to represent a project with enough technical details for clients to convince them to sign up for it.
-
Our detailed design services offer the next step for a concept design and include all the specifications of a solar project to a basic engineering level.
This design contains calculations, engineering solutions, design, and selection of key project components with enough information for procurement, acquisition, and regulatory purposes.
-
Our “Issued For Construction” design services consist of the highest possible level of design, also known as detailed engineering design. This solution includes a full definition of every aspect of the solar project and leaves no other aspects to be decided further on.
This solution is the final design stage of a solar project, and contains enough information for the acquisition of all the required materials, equipment, and also for the construction of the project itself.
Our consulting services
Looking for consulting services? We are here to help. Our consulting services range from filing Requests for Tender (RFT) to overseeing any of your renewable energy projects, and we also conduct feasibility studies.
Inspection services
Like any other type of technology and machinery, the use of solar panel installations is subject to failure due to external and internal factors, and requires periodical inspections for proper management and early detection of failure conditions. At SPS we offer the following inspection services for different types of solar installations.
-
Our PV Inspection Services consist of a full review of all main aspects of the solar panel installation, in order to assess its current status and performance.
The inspection first consists of a revision of the installation compliance with local regulations. The construction contract and design are also reviewed and an assessment of the system's efficiency and performance is provided.
-
At SPS, we are able to provide quality and compliance commercial solar inspections across New Zealand.
These inspections include comprehensive compliance validation according to current network regulations, applicable local standards, and the latest industry guidelines.
-
Our services include inspections for residential properties, whether you are the homeowner, property management company, or council. These inspections include a comprehensive review of the installation, the surface where its mounted and compliance with local regulatory requirements.
-
Our energy storage system inspection services consist of a full review of all main aspects of battery energy storage system, in order to assess its current status and performance.
The inspection first consists of a revision of the installation compliance with local standards, industry guidelines, and regulations. The construction contract and design are also reviewed. The system functioning is assessed for proper functioning.
Operations and maintenance services
Operation and maintenance of solar panel installations are crucial for proper functioning of our equipment while maximizing generation, reducing excessive maintenance costs due to failure or replacement of components, and ensuring the expected lifetime of our equipment.
At SPS we offer different operation and maintenance services for solar systems, that will allow clients to properly manage their solar panel installations.
-
Solar systems removal services
Solar system removal services consist of the temporary removal of solar panels so that construction works or repairs at the installation can be performed.
Examples of such cases are aging roofs or weather damage at a solar panel installation which requires structural maintenance.
Our removal services include proper removal and reinstallation of panels, conduit, racking, and other required elements in a professional way, ensuring your solar system will operate correctly and that no components are damaged during the procedure.
-
Solar panels cleaning services
As solar panel installations operate outdoors, they are exposed to environmental conditions that can hinder their performance by partially blocking the amount of light that reaches them.
Because of this, solar panel cleaning is an essential activity for the optimal performance of solar panels every 2-3 years.
Our solar panel cleaning services include panel cleaning of all sizes, ranging from rooftop solar panels to large ground solar systems, using proper cleaning techniques to take care of the installation and minimize costs.
-
Solar systems troubleshooting services
Whether it is due to a defective component, or external circumstances that led to the failure of a specific component, there could be a case when your installation is not working properly.
Our solar system troubleshooting service includes failure analysis and corrective maintenance activities to repair your installation.
Once the failure is identified, our maintenance team has the expertise to properly repair or replace the damaged components, execute the repair works in a swift and professional manner, and ensure the availability of the installation.
-
Solar system review services
There is often a case when a solar system needs to be reviewed by an expert, whether it is for validation purposes, or for the acceptance of a finished project.
We offer review services to verify full compliance with network regulations and local standards or applicable recommendations for solar installations.
Likewise, our review services can be used for validating that an executed project has been carried out in compliance with the contract and technical specifications, the elaboration of a punch list, and the final acceptance of the project.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction Serives
Engineering
Our team is responsible for carrying out the basic, detailed design and engineering of renewable projects until they are put into operation. Our engineering services include the detailed development of civil works and electromechanical components.
Our broad knowledge in the execution of engineering designs has been obtained through the development of plenty of successful projects.
Procurement
Our services include complete coverage of the procurement procedure of equipment for solar system projects.
We prepare documents with technical specifications that guarantee quality products and a high level of provision of equipment for the development of projects. Through carefully selected technical specifications for the provision of equipment, the suppliers with the best offers are selected. Likewise, we have a database of suppliers to speed up the provision of equipment.
Construction
Our team has the necessary experience and knowledge for the development and construction of small and large-scale solar projects.
We are able to take care of all the stages of the project, including installation, trials, commissioning, start-up, and beginning of commercial operation of the installation and its consequent delivery to the Client.
