What is Solar Pre-Design?
Solar Pre-Design, also known as Solar Preliminary Design, is the first phase in planning a solar project. It involves creating initial drawings and designs using software like SketchUp and BricsCAD. This process gathers data from sources such as Google Maps and site measurements provided by the client to develop a detailed 3D model.
This model helps visualize the solar installation, offering insights into shading, energy production, and financial returns. It is essential for EPC companies to present accurate proposals to their clients.
