Designing the optimal solar system for your business
At Sustain Commercial Solar, our system design services ensure that your solar installation is optimised for maximum efficiency and performance. We tailor each design to meet the specific needs of your commercial property, utilising our cutting-edge technology and industry expertise.

We create detailed 3D models of your proposed solar installation, allowing you to visualise the system before installation. You’ll see a true-to-life representation of your solar system, including panel placement and structural integration.
Our models will take into account all factors, including any access points that are required and the feasibility of cleaning and maintenance into the future.
We can explore different layout options and configurations to find the best fit for your property.
Performance simulations
We need to ensure that aesthetics aside, the system design we recommend will yield maximised returns over the course of its lifetime.
Alongside any design, we provide advanced, in depth performance simulations across a variety of data points.
Here are examples of just some of the data that you’ll receive alongside your system design.

Solar path analysis
We’ll share a solar path diagram that visually represents the sun’s movement across the sky throughout the year, helping us determine the best placement and orientation for solar panels to maximise energy production.

Energy usage and generation forecasts
The energy generated by a proposed commercial solar system, the proportion of that energy that will be used directly by the client and the proportion that will be exported to the grid.
Technical drawings in absolute detail
We showcase every detail of our plan for your system, including all of the technical setup and preparation. For example, string diagrams that showcase how the solar panels will be electronically connected and organised into strings.

Our technical drawings provide a precise blueprint for your solar installation, ensuring every aspect is meticulously planned and executed.
We provide detailed dimensions of panel layouts and system components, comprehensive diagrams showing how each panel is connected within the system and clear indications of where inverters, junction boxes, and other critical components will be located.
We believe that attention to detail is key to delivering high-quality solar solutions. Our technical drawings are a testament to our commitment to excellence and precision in every project we undertake.
Shading analysis
By identifying areas with varying levels of shading, we can optimise the placement of solar panels to maximise energy production and efficiency.

Solar path analysis
Using the shading analysis map, we can strategically place panels to avoid high shading areas, ensuring optimal performance of your solar system.

The full picture
By the end of the process, we’ll have mapped out multiple options for your installation including our recommended approach that factors into account your energy requirements, business goals, available space and monetary return on investment.
