The Drawing Set a Planning Authority Asks For

The planning phase turns a concept into the drawing set a planning authority asks for: a 3D layout with setbacks, equipment heights and aesthetic constraints, side views of the frames and MV stations, earthing principles, a single line diagram and a PVsyst report. Drawings follow the local planning requirements you or your planning consultant provide; the submission itself stays with you.

What the Drawing Set Includes

Detailed Planning Drawings

A 3D layout and side-view details at the level planning authorities expect — more than a concept, less than FEED.

  • 3D PV layout with setbacks, heights and aesthetics
  • Frame side views: height, pile depth, table length
  • MV station side view: height, depth, preliminary foundation
  • MV station and MV routing drawing, if requested
  • Inverter locations and LV AC routing, if requested

Local Requirements

Setbacks, height limits and aesthetic guidelines are built into the layout from the first draft.

  • Setbacks and exclusion zones
  • Equipment height limits
  • Aesthetic guidelines
  • Requirements as provided for your jurisdiction

Electrical & Yield

The electrical and yield documents that usually accompany a planning application.

  • Preliminary earthing principles: PV tables, inverters, MV stations, substation, fence and gates
  • Single line diagram, open items marked TBD
  • 3D PVsyst report

Visualisations

3D visualisations and site context views are available on request and quoted separately.
