Destination and solar/climate conditions
SOLVARN · PROJECT AUTHORITY CENTRE
Move from product interest to a controlled project specification.
Coordinate architectural shade, PV generation, LiFePO4 storage, inverter limits, LED/pergola loads, controls, wind, weather exposure and optional mains support as one outdoor energy system.
01 · PROJECT INPUTS
Define the conditions before the exact system is released.
These inputs are deliberately upstream of model selection so the product does not dictate the brief.
3 × 3 to 4 × 6 m footprint / location
Orientation, shading and seasonal solar exposure
LED, pergola motor and auxiliary AC/DC loads
Continuous/surge load profile and operating hours
Battery reserve, low-state-of-charge behaviour and resilience objective
Mains charging availability and destination electrical standard
Wind criteria, foundations, drainage, coastal/corrosive exposure and service access
02 · EVIDENCE CONTROL
Keep project claims attached to what the evidence actually proves.
Generic declarations, outdated catalogues or unrelated certificates should not be carried into a project as exact-system evidence.
Exact PV module and array data
Exact LiFePO4 battery/BMS documentation
Inverter continuous/surge and environmental rating
Exact ingress-protection evidence for installed components
Pergola motor/control documentation
Structural/wind evidence tied to the selected configuration
Electrical protection/earthing documentation for any mains interface
03 · CAD / DRAWING REGISTER
Planning references are not exact-system construction drawings.
Every drawing/model status stays visible so consultants know what can be used now and what only exists after configuration or project-specific design.
| Resource | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Solar outdoor concept / planning layout | Public planning | Early scope, interface and consultant coordination only. |
| Generic technical reference / typical detail | Public planning | Explains system logic without representing an exact supplied configuration. |
| Exact-system GA / dimensional drawing | Exact-system | Issued only after the quoted system/configuration is known. |
| Native CAD / DWG / DXF | Verify availability | Availability and revision must be confirmed against the exact supplied system. |
| BIM / Revit / IFC object | Verify availability | Only described as BIM where a genuine verified native model exists. |
| Foundation / fixing / setting-out drawing | Project-specific | Depends on site/building conditions, local engineering and the selected system. |
| Services / electrical / controls interface | Project-specific | Coordinates the supplied system with local power, data, water, drainage or controls. |
04 · SPECIFICATION STARTER
Write the project around performance, interfaces and evidence.
These clauses are a project-planning structure, not a substitute for local professional specifications or exact-system documentation.
Footprint and architectural configuration
PV module layout/orientation
Battery/BMS architecture
Inverter and load schedule
Control priorities and low-battery behaviour
Mains-charge interface if selected
Wind/foundation/site drainage criteria
Ingress/corrosion/environmental requirements
Monitoring, maintenance and replacement access
05 · TENDER / RFP SCHEDULE
Ask bidders for the same controlled information.
A consistent schedule makes technical comparison easier and reduces hidden assumptions.
Site location / coordinates
Chosen footprint
Solar/shading information
Load and operating-hour schedule
Battery/resilience objective
Mains backup requirement
Wind/foundation criteria
Environmental exposure
Electrical/controls interface
Evidence and handover schedule
06 · OPERATIONS & HANDOVER
Specify how the system will be maintained after delivery.
Maintenance, spares, records and inspection should be defined before purchase, especially for remote or high-use projects.
PV cleaning / shading inspection
Battery health / BMS alarm review
Inverter/controls fault log
Cable/gland/enclosure inspection
Pergola motor / moving-part maintenance
Drainage and structure inspection
LED / auxiliary-load check
Battery/inverter replacement access plan
DOWNLOADABLE PROJECT RESOURCE
Carry the authority pack into the project file.
Export the current project-control structure, then replace planning statements with exact project/system information as the design develops.
