Projects

Experience from
real sites

The photographs on this page come from delivered projects, with no simulations or stock images. That is why some show snow, mud and material still to be installed.

Additional cases and installed capacity figures are shared on request, with the client’s consent.

Stages of the works

Every phase leaves
a different mark on the ground

The six phases, in the order they happen on site. No capacity figures, no client name: what is shown is what each phase demands from whoever carries it out.

01

Site set-up and logistics

Before the first pile there is material to receive, check and store on site. Pallets in the open require an unloading plan, lorry access and a check of what arrived against what was ordered. This is already where a deadline can be lost.

02

Pile driving

A solar plant rests on piles driven into the ground. Depth and alignment decide whether the rows sit level and whether the structure withstands wind for decades. Correcting a pile after the structure is up costs far more than driving it right.

03

Trenching and cabling

The electrical connection runs in a trench, between the rows and on to the delivery point. Depth, sand bedding and buried warning tape are invisible at the end, but they determine whether the installation lasts or gives trouble in its first spring.

04

Structure assembly

The structure that carries the panels is mounted on the piles, at the tilt calculated for the site latitude. Seen from above, a well-built structure reads as continuous parallel lines: any deviation shows from a distance.

05

Panel installation

Panels are mounted in rows, with controlled torque and series connection to the electrical design. This is the most visible phase and the quickest, provided the three before it were done properly.

06

Completed works

The final view is what the client sees. Everything that makes it possible is buried, bolted or documented, and the documentation stays with the client once the crew leaves the site.

About these works

What a photograph
shows and does not show

01

What these photographs are

The images on this page are of work we carried out, not stock photography. They show the real state of the job, winter installation and work at height included. Real work is how you judge a contractor; a flawless render is something any company can commission.

  • Photography of our own works, with no stock imagery
  • Real execution conditions, including installation in snow
  • No retouching that changes what was actually built
02

What a portfolio does not prove

A portfolio is where a conversation starts. A photograph shows the result, but not whether the schedule held, whether the budget held, or how the unforeseen problems that appear on every site were handled. That is only learned by asking whoever received the work.

  • We provide references for the type of work in question, with the client’s consent
  • A visit to an ongoing site is possible where the client authorises it
  • Documents from a previous project can be shown, with client data redacted
03

What to ask before deciding

Before choosing a contractor, it pays to know who the named lead is, what happens when the schedule slips, and what is documented at the end. We answer all three questions in writing, in the proposal.

  • The name of the project lead, before award
  • What gets communicated, by whom and within what time, when something changes
  • The list of what is handed over at the end, agreed before work starts
Every site has a named person in charge, from survey to handover
