Our Solar Engineering Services
Site Assessment & PV System Sizing
We evaluate your facility’s energy load profile, historical usage, roof or land footprint, and shading factors to calculate exact solar panel capacity and optimal array tilt angles.
Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) & Schematics
We design detailed electrical single line schematics covering stringing layout, combiner boxes, array disconnects, inverter mapping, and panelboard tie-ins.
Rooftop, Ground-Mount & Carport Layouts
Spatial engineering plans detailing panel placement, mounting and ballasting systems, conduit routing, structural load distribution, and cable trenching pathways.
Utility Connection & Net Metering Coordination
We manage technical grid interconnection applications and coordination with local Ontario hydro utilities (Hydro One, Alectra, Toronto Hydro, Elexicon) for Net Metering approval.
Battery Storage & Smart Hybrid Integration
We incorporate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), smart load management, generator tie-ins, and EV charging infrastructure to maximize time-of-use (TOU) bill savings and backup resilience.
Permit-Ready P.Eng. Stamped Packages
Complete, fully engineered drawing sets—stamped by licensed Professional Engineers—ready for Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) Form 2 submission and municipal building permits.

Our Design Process
Site & Service Assessment
We analyze site layout, roof or ground orientation, shading profiles, existing electrical panel capacity, and historical usage data to establish core baseline requirements.
Load Calculation & System Planning
We perform detailed electrical load calculations, simulate annual solar energy generation (azimuth, tilt, and shading loss analysis), and select optimal stringing configurations and inverter sizing.
Array Layout & Cable Routing Design
Our team drafts coordinated spatial site plans showing panel array placement, mounting and ballasting details, conduit and trench routing pathways, combiner box locations, and utility meter tie-ins.
Electrical Documentation & Stamped Delivery
You receive a complete, permit-ready drawing package—featuring Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), stringing maps, and updated panel schedules—stamped by licensed Professional Engineers (P.Eng.) for ESA and municipal submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Information Is Needed To Begin A Solar Power System Design?
To get started, we typically need your recent electricity bills (12 months of usage data), building location, roof age/condition, and main electrical panel specs. Photos or structural drawings of the roof or site are also helpful.
Can My Property Install Solar Panels Without Upgrading The Main Electrical Panel?
In many cases, yes. We design systems that optimize inverter output and utilize load management or supply-side connections (line-side taps) where permitted by local utilities, helping you avoid unnecessary service upgrades.
What Is The Difference In Design Requirements Between Grid-Tied And Hybrid/Off-Grid Systems?
Grid-tied systems sync directly with the utility grid without battery storage. Hybrid and off-grid systems incorporate battery storage systems (BESS), automatic transfer switches (ATS), and critical load sub-panels to provide backup power during utility outages.
Do you handle vendor-specific equipment configurations?
Yes. We design with all leading tier-1 equipment manufacturers, including Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, SMA, Canadian Solar, and Meyer Burger, matching components to your specific site conditions.
Are permit-ready stamped drawings included in your service package?
Absolutely. Every final design package includes single line diagrams (SLDs), array layouts, and load calculations stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) for ESA and municipal permit approvals.
How Does Solar Power Infrastructure Add Value To Green Building Standards?
Engineered solar systems directly contribute to LEED credits, Toronto Green Standard (TGS) compliance, and ESG goals by lowering building operational emissions and reducing dependence on fossil-fuel grid power.
