Solar power plantsSgurrEnergy have been involved in numerous large scale
solar PV projects in Europe and Asia. Our engineers have been
involved in designing PV installations, energy yield analysis,
pre and post construction Due Diligence and acting as Lenders
Engineer or Technical Advisor.
Solar off grid systems
SgurrEnergy engineers have experience designing appropriate
battery storage, charge controllers and DC/AC inverter systems
to fully utilise the power available from the solar photovoltaic
modules. We have experience in designing off grid systems for
islands, remote communities and individual households.
Project design
SgurrEnergys solar team offers complete feasibility and detailed
design services for solar power plants. With our comprehensive
knowledge of modules, inverters and balance of plant, we design
systems suitable for the location, irradiation resource, planning
requirements and correct integration of components. We strive
to achieve high performance factor designs utilising the availablespace and constraints of the site. Our designs are conducted with
performance, operations and maintenance activities in mind.
