Ground-Mounted Solar Design

Field-to-grid solar farm design for Irish conditions

Ireland's solar farm pipeline is growing rapidly, but navigating the planning system requires specialist local knowledge. Our ground-mounted solar design service covers all technical elements of your planning application and beyond.

We work with landowners, developers, and energy companies to produce planning-ready design packages for sites from 1MW to 150MW+. Our designs account for Irish wind loading (IS EN 1991-1-4), ground conditions, grid connection requirements, and local authority planning policies.

From initial site feasibility through to full planning submission, we act as a reliable technical delivery partner. We coordinate with your planning consultant, ecologist, landscape architect, and grid connection advisor to ensure every technical document is consistent and planning-ready on time.

Why It Matters

Ground-mounted solar farms face the most rigorous planning scrutiny in Ireland. A poorly coordinated technical package — with inconsistencies between drawings, glint assessments, and landscape plans — is the most common cause of planning delays. Our end-to-end approach ensures all documents are consistent, complete, and submitted together.

How It Works

1

Feasibility Review

We review your site for planning policy, grid connection potential, and technical constraints.

2

Concept Design

Initial layout design accounting for setbacks, visibility, wind loading, and agricultural use.

3

Planning Package

Full drawing set, glint and glare report, and landscape plan prepared for submission.

4

Coordination

We coordinate with your planning consultant, ecologist, and other specialists for a consistent submission.

5

Submission & Support

Support through the planning process including response to Further Information requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

We design ground-mounted solar farms from 1MW community installations to 150MW+ utility-scale projects. The design approach and planning documentation required scales with project size — contact us with your site details for a tailored proposal.

Yes. We regularly prepare technical packages for Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) applications to An Bord Pleanála. These require a higher standard of documentation and coordination with prescribed bodies. We are experienced in ABP requirements.

Yes. Agri-voltaic (dual land-use) design is a growing part of our practice. We design systems with elevated mounting to allow grazing beneath panels, and prepare the farm management plan documentation required for planning.
