Comprehensive solar design, engineering & consultancy for a large-scale tin shed rooftop installation
Comprehensive Solar Design, Engineering, and Consultancy for an 11 MW DC Rooftop Project on Tin Shed in Gulf Country
A prominent Mumbai-based solar EPC and O&M company was awarded an 11 MW DC rooftop solar installation project on a tin shed structure in a Gulf country. The project had strict government compliance requirements, a high-value penalty clause, and a design team that had gone unresponsive.
Heaven Designs stepped in to rescue the project, providing on-site consultancy, complete engineering design, and government compliance support, and delivered the project ahead of the contractual deadline.

Client Background
The client is a prominent Mumbai-based solar EPC and O&M company with a strong portfolio of residential and commercial solar installations across India. This was their first major international project, a 11 MW DC rooftop installation on an industrial tin shed in a Gulf country.
The project was high-stakes: a government contract with a strict completion deadline, local regulatory compliance requirements, and contractual penalty clauses that made every day critical.
THE CHALLENGE
Initial Obstacles
When Heaven Designs was brought in, the project was at a critical juncture with multiple compounding challenges.
Freelancer Failure
The original freelance design team became unresponsive mid-project, leaving the EPC without any usable design deliverables and a ticking deadline.
Strict Local Regulations
The Gulf country's government required meticulous compliance with local electrical and structural codes, leaving no margin for error in documentation.
₹5 Crore Penalty Risk
A project completion deadline was tied to a contractual penalty clause. Any delay would result in a ₹5 crore financial penalty for the EPC company.
Complex Tin Shed Structure
The 11 MW installation was on a tin shed roof, requiring specialised structural load analysis to ensure the existing structure could safely support the solar array.
OBJECTIVES
Project Goals
