For a factory, the starting point is usually the load profile and operating schedule, not only the amount of roof area available.
Why daytime load matters for factories
Factories with high daytime demand can use more solar generation directly, which helps the design align with real operations and energy costs.
What data should be prepared before system design
Prepare load data, operating hours, peak demand, roof area, and safety or production constraints before the site survey.
- Monthly electricity data
- Production schedule
- Transformer and switchboard locations
- Site access and installation conditions
What a factory solar project must include beyond panels
The design should account for inverters, electrical protection, structural work, testing, installation windows, and a clear handover and maintenance plan.
