Solar Power System Design

As energy costs rise and sustainability takes center stage, solar power is no longer a luxury—it’s a smart investment. At FutureGen Consulting Inc., we deliver fully engineered solar power system designs that are optimized for performance, compliance, and long-term reliability. Whether you’re a homeowner, commercial developer, or institution, our tailored solar solutions help you harness clean energy efficiently and affordably.

We don’t just design panels—we engineer end-to-end systems that integrate seamlessly with your building’s infrastructure and your long-term energy goals.

Why Solar Power Design Matters

A solar project’s success hinges on the quality of its design. Poorly sized or incorrectly installed systems result in:

• Underperformance and energy loss
• System overloads and equipment failure
• Safety hazards due to improper wiring or grounding
• Rejection during ESA inspection or utility interconnection
• Missed rebate opportunities due to non-compliance

Whether you’re installing a rooftop array on a home or a ground-mounted system for a commercial site, it all starts with the right engineering.

At FutureGen, we combine technical know-how with a deep understanding of Ontario’s regulatory landscape to deliver solar designs that perform, comply, and impress.

What We Offer

Our Solar Power System Design service includes:

• System sizing based on site loads, available space, and budget
• Panel layout planning for rooftops, carports, or ground arrays
• Single line diagrams (SLDs) and connection schematics
• Inverter and optimizer selection
• Energy production modeling (PVWatts or PVSyst)
• Coordination with local utilities for net metering or FIT connections
• ESA and AHJ permit-ready documentation
• Structural and roof load coordination (with 3rd party if needed)

We also account for battery storage, EV charger integration, and future expandability in every design when applicable.

Our Process

1. Site Assessment & Energy Goals

We begin by understanding your goals—whether it’s offsetting energy bills, achieving net-zero, or earning credits through net metering. We assess:

• Energy usage patterns
• Roof or land area
• Shading and orientation
• Local utility constraints
• Available rebates or incentives

2. System Design & Component Selection

Using industry-standard tools, we size your system for optimal production and ROI. We select panels, inverters, and racking systems that match your usage profile and budget—without overdesigning or overpromising.

3. Electrical Design & Drawings

Our electrical engineers create:

• Detailed wiring layouts
• Single line diagrams
• Panel schedules
• Breaker sizing
• Grounding and bonding details

These are fully compliant with:

• Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC)
• Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
• Utility interconnection requirements

4. Permit & Utility Coordination

We assist with documentation for:

• ESA applications
• Net metering or FIT approvals
• Building permit submissions
• Rebate claim support (if applicable)

5. Construction Support

We offer continued support during installation, including clarifications for contractors, on-site revisions, and coordination with ESA inspections if needed.

Types of Projects We Serve

FutureGen provides solar power system designs for:

• Single-family homes and cottages
• Multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs)
• Commercial rooftops and warehouses
• Schools, daycares, and non-profit buildings
• EV charging stations with solar offset
• Ground-mounted solar farms (small-scale)

We also support retrofits and hybrid systems that combine grid-tied solar with diesel generators or battery storage.

Why Choose FutureGen for Your Solar Project

✅ Engineered Precision, Not Just Installation Plans
Many solar contractors offer generic layouts—but we engineer your system based on load profiles, future expansion, and Ontario-specific regulations.

✅ End-to-End Coordination
From utility applications to final ESA inspections, we provide support at every step to ensure a smooth project lifecycle.

✅ Experience with Net Metering and Utility Backfeed
We understand the interconnection processes and nuances of working with Ontario hydro companies like Alectra, Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, and Elexicon.

✅ Performance-Focused Designs
We don’t just size systems—we simulate production and design for maximum efficiency, considering azimuth, tilt, shading, and equipment losses.

✅ Sustainable by Design
Our approach prioritizes not just energy generation, but lifecycle cost-effectiveness and carbon impact reduction.

Solar + Storage + Smart Integration

Solar energy doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it can (and should) interact with other systems. We integrate:

• Battery storage systems (Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem, etc.)
• EV charger infrastructure (load-sharing with solar offset)
• Time-of-use management to maximize bill savings

Ask us how to design a hybrid or grid-resilient system that meets both energy and backup needs.

---

Compliance-Ready Documentation

Every drawing set is stamped and permit-ready, including:

• Solar layout plan
• Panel and racking specifications
• Inverter stringing and connectivity diagrams
• Grounding and bonding layout
• ESA Form 2 compliance references
• Load calculations and coordination with main service panel

---

Our Commitment: Powering Ontario’s Clean Energy Future

We believe solar is more than just a trend—it’s a responsibility. At FutureGen, we work with:

• Forward-thinking homeowners
• Developers who care about ESG goals
• Businesses that want to take control of their energy future

And we do it with integrity, transparency, and unmatched attention to detail.
