What We Produce

Sample Deliverables

Every project we deliver includes planning-ready documents produced to the specific requirements of the receiving authority. Here is what each deliverable type includes.

Solar Farm Site Layout Plans

Our site layout plans show the complete array layout, panel row spacing, perimeter fence alignment, access tracks, substation positions, and proposed landscape planting. Produced in AutoCAD at scales from 1:500 to 1:2,500 and delivered as both PDF and DWG.

  • AutoCAD DWG + PDF
  • Scales: 1:500 to 1:2,500
  • Panel array layout with dimensions
  • Fence, access, and infrastructure
  • Landscape planting shown
  • Title block to client standard
PV Planning Drawings

Glint & Glare Assessment Reports

Our ForgeSolar-based glint and glare reports identify all sensitive receptors within the study area, run site-specific reflectance modelling, and present results as green/yellow glare classifications with clear conclusions and mitigation recommendations where needed.

  • ForgeSolar methodology
  • Green/yellow glare classification
  • All receptor types covered
  • Mitigation recommendations included
  • Aviation assessment where required
  • Planning-ready PDF report
Glint & Glare Analysis

Landscape Plans & Planting Schedules

Our Landscape Plans translate LVIA recommendations into clear AutoCAD drawings showing native planting schemes, hedgerow reinforcement, habitat creation zones, and phased establishment programmes. Accompanied by a full planting schedule with species, sizes, and spacing.

  • AutoCAD DWG + PDF
  • Native Irish species
  • Planting schedule included
  • Phased establishment plan
  • Consistent with LVIA findings
  • Planning condition-ready
Landscape Plans

Panel Elevations & Cross-Sections

Elevation drawings show panel dimensions, tilt angles, ground clearance, and mounting structure design to planning authority standard. Cross-sections through the site demonstrate how panels relate to topography and surrounding land — essential for LVIA photomontage reference.

  • Front, side, and rear elevations
  • Tilt angle and ground clearance shown
  • Mounting structure detail
  • Topographic cross-sections
  • Scales: 1:20 to 1:500
  • AutoCAD DWG + PDF

A Note on Confidentiality

We do not publish client project details, application drawings, or report extracts without explicit client permission. The descriptions and sample deliverable types shown here reflect the scope and nature of work we produce — not specific client projects. If you would like to discuss our methodology in more detail, or speak to a reference client, please contact us.

Project Types

Types of Projects We Support

We work on solar projects from single commercial rooftops through to 10MW ground-mounted schemes.

Commercial Rooftop Solar

Warehouse and distribution centre rooftop installations from 100kW to 5MW. We produce structural assessment reports, planning drawings, and planning exemption reviews for commercial rooftop clients across Ireland.

Typical capacity100kW – 5MW
Typical turnaround2–3 weeks

Typical documents:

  • Structural assessment report
  • Roof layout drawings
  • Planning exemption review
  • Elevation drawings

Ground-Mounted Solar Farm

Ground-mounted solar farms from under 1MW to 10MW. Our most common project type. We prepare the full planning drawing set, glint and glare assessment, and Landscape Plan for farm-scale solar developments across Ireland.

Typical capacity<1MW – 10MW
Typical turnaround4–10 weeks

Typical documents:

  • Site layout plans (AutoCAD)
  • Glint & glare assessment
  • Landscape Plan + planting schedule
  • Panel elevations and sections

Quarry & Brownfield Solar

Disused quarries and brownfield sites present excellent solar development opportunities — often with fewer visual impact concerns than greenfield sites. We have experience with the specific planning considerations for quarry solar including existing infrastructure reuse and landform screening.

Typical capacity1MW – 10MW
Typical turnaround4–8 weeks

Typical documents:

  • Site layout plans
  • Photomontages from agreed viewpoints
  • Landscape Plan
  • Glint & glare assessment

Business Park & Retail Solar

Multi-building business park and retail solar programmes, typically involving a combination of rooftop and car park canopy systems. We provide consistent drawing packages across entire portfolios for energy contractors and facilities managers.

Typical capacity500kW – 10MW (portfolio)
Typical turnaround2–4 weeks per building

Typical documents:

  • Roof layout drawings
  • Structural assessment reports
  • Planning exemption reviews
  • Single-line diagrams

Agri-voltaic Solar Farm

Dual land-use solar installations that allow continued grazing or arable use beneath elevated panel arrays. We design elevated mounting structures for Irish wind loading, prepare all planning drawings, and assist with the farm management plan documentation required for planning.

Typical capacity1MW – 10MW
Typical turnaround6–10 weeks

Typical documents:

  • Site layout with grazing zones
  • Elevated panel elevation drawings
  • Landscape Plan
  • Glint & glare assessment
