Engineering & Design Services

When you’re ready to launch the solar PV project, you will want to assemble a knowledgeable team of professionals to ensure that your investment is designed to the highest quality standards. Our experienced solar engineers will work with your existing stakeholders to develop designs that meet applicable codes, production goals, aesthetic requirements, and budgets while avoiding change orders from unforeseen obstacles. As part of this process, Namasté Solar provides construction-ready, engineered project documents to the construction contractor for the successful implementation of the project.

Our detailed designs include the following: site plan, array layout, structural engineering, engineered electrical plans, and a monitoring design. It will include production models of the stystem's estimated performance, which is then integrated into the financial model.

Engineering & Design Client

Colorado Convention Center

System Size: 300kW

The Colorado Convention Center project posed some of the most challenging engineering and design obstacles we have faced on a project to date. The client’s requirement initially seemed impossible: design an interactive grid-tied system that never back feeds the grid. After other developers had failed to find a workable solution for this facility, Namasté Solar found a way to interconnect with a tripleredundant utility SPOT network. The result was what we now refer to as “the Brain,” an innovative, dynamically controlled inverter, the first of its kind. Additionally, the system had originally been designed with a thin-film module, with the expectation that a lower cost technology would result in a better financial return. We found that the density of higher efficiency modules combined with a ballasted racking system ultimately lowered the labor and roofing costs, leading to a better bottom line. The challenges of the CCC highlighted the perseverance, expertise, and innovation of Namasté Solar’s engineering team.
