Industrial solar sizing
Megawatt thinking, engineering discipline.
Process loads, motors and long shifts need a design that respects surge and three-phase supply. Get a first sizing in minutes, then take it to detailed engineering.
Typical loads we size for
The approach
Sized from what you actually run.
Three-phase aware
Choose single or three-phase supply and the inverter selection is steered by it.
Motor surge accounted for
Large motors start at several times their running current. The inverter is checked against that surge, not only the running kW.
Transparent formulas
Every result shows the working behind it, including sun hours, derate, efficiencies, depth of discharge and ageing, so an engineer can check it line by line.
Clear review flags
Above the residential band the result carries an engineering-review flag, so a first estimate is never mistaken for a final design.
Four steps
From load list to bill of materials.
-
01
Choose the site
Home, office, commercial building or industrial plant — then start from a ready scenario or a blank list.
-
02
List the loads
Appliances with quantity, power and running hours, split between sun hours and night. Or import a spreadsheet.
-
03
Set backup & supply
Grid-tied, hybrid or off-grid, single or three-phase, generator or not — and how long the essentials must run.
-
04
Get the system
Inverter, battery and array, string layout, matched products and a bill of materials — saved and shareable.
Industrial FAQ
Good questions.
Is the result a final design?
No. It is a fast, transparent planning estimate. Confirm every design against the manufacturer datasheets, a site survey and your local wiring regulations before you build.
How does it handle diesel generators?
Choose a system type with a generator and the engine accounts for it as a backup source alongside the grid and the battery.
Can I change the design assumptions?
Yes. Efficiencies, depth of discharge, end-of-warranty capacity, inverter loading and design margins can be changed for each sizing, within set bounds.
