Renewable Energy

Put available solar energy to work for your operation.

Evaluate rooftops or land against daytime demand, structural conditions and the connection strategy before committing to capacity.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

What this can help you achieve

TECHNICAL UNDERSTANDING

What the design needs to establish

Explore your requirement

Solar Opportunity Calculator

Enter your operating data to explore a preliminary scenario.
Assumptions and calculation method

Editable screening assumptions, not a site yield forecast. Capacity = area ÷ area per kWp. Generation = capacity × specific yield. Used generation is capped at annual site use; this annual cap does not establish hourly coincidence. Value includes self-consumed energy only, with no export income, CAPEX, O&M or financing. A survey, structural review and hourly model are required.

Illustrative starting values. Replace them with your site data before discussing a project.

Related solutions and delivery support

Solar + Storage

Model solar output, site demand and battery operation together. Storage adds value when there is a defined energy-shifting or backup requirement.

EPC

Connect the technical requirement with assessment and project delivery.

Relevant industries

Garments & Textiles

Production interruptions, daytime electricity costs and suitable factory roofs.

Manufacturing

Energy-intensive equipment, production continuity and capacity expansion.

Food & Beverage

Process interruptions, refrigeration and variable production demand.

Industrial Parks

Shared electrical infrastructure, tenant growth and outdoor services.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Turn this requirement into a project brief.

Share your site, operating priorities and available data. Start with an assessment, arrange a survey where needed, then discuss the project scope.

ENGINEERING SCREENING

Explore a first-pass project estimate

Enter site data and your own commercial assumptions. Outputs update as inputs become valid; use Calculate Estimate for a deliberate refresh.

All calculations are indicative baseline estimates subject to detailed on-site power quality logging and engineering validation.

Industrial solar feasibility

Screen rooftop capacity, annual self-consumption value and indicative installed cost. No export value is assumed.

Site and demand

The area screen caps system capacity. Self-consumption is also capped by annual site energy inferred from bill ÷ tariff.

User-supplied commercial assumptions

Enter local quotations and tariff assumptions. The optional lifecycle screen needs both a period and a discount rate.

Complete the required assumptions to see a screening estimate.

These screens do not include financing, tax, battery or inverter replacements, degradation over time, export revenue, or a bankable forecast. Operational savings and emissions are estimates based only on the assumptions entered. Simple payback is first-year net operating savings against installed cost, held level; it is distinct from a full cash-flow model such as SAM discounted payback (see SAM financial models). Lifecycle value is shown only when period and discount assumptions are supplied; no LCOE is calculated.
