Solar designs
Professional solar PV design service for domestic and commercial installations.
What is a solar PV design?
A solar PV design is a detailed technical plan of a proposed solar installation, showing how panels will be laid out on the roof, the estimated energy output, projected savings, and the electrical configuration of the system.
For installers, a professional design does three things. It gives you a precise, accurate specification to work from. It gives your client a clear visualisation of what their system will look like and what it will deliver. And it gives everyone confidence that the proposed system is correctly sized, positioned and configured for maximum performance.
At BMG Surveys Ltd, we produce solar PV designs using the latest design software, combining our engineering expertise with accurate output modelling to give you a design that’s not just visually clear but technically rigorous.
What our solar PV designs include
Every BMG solar PV design includes
- 3D visualisation of the property with proposed panel layout, showing exactly how the system will look on the roof
- Estimated annual energy output, calculated using location, orientation, tilt and shading data
- Projected savings, modelled against current energy costs to give your client a clear financial picture
- Electrical line diagrams, showing the full system configuration including inverter, cabling and connection points
- Panel layout optimisation, maximising the number of panels within the available roof space
- Shading analysis, identifying and accounting for any obstructions that could affect system performance
- System sizing recommendations — ensuring the proposed system matches the property’s energy profile
Combining design with
structural assessment
Accurate design
Design is produced with full knowledge of the roof’s structural capacity, no overspecification
Optimised panel layout
Panel layout is optimised within confirmed safe load parameters from the outset
One point of contact
One team, one point of contact, one set of fees, no coordination required between separate providers
Fast process
Faster overall process, design and structural assessment can progress in parallel with consistent documentation
Who uses our solar PV design service
- Solar PV installers who want to present clients with a professional, visual proposal before installation
- Commercial solar developers who need accurate output modelling and electrical diagrams for project sign-off
- EPC companies looking to offer a complete design and assessment package to their clients
- Housing associations and local authorities managing solar programmes across multiple properties
- Designers and consultants who need a technically accurate design to accompany planning or funding applications
Design and structural assessment, together
Our solar PV design service works particularly well when combined with a structural roof loading report. The design establishes the optimal panel layout and system specification. The structural report confirms the roof can support it. Together, they give you everything you need to proceed with confidence.
