PV Planning Drawings

Accurate drawings that satisfy planners first time

Poorly prepared drawings are the number-one reason for requests for further information (RFIs) from planning authorities — delaying your project and adding cost. Our team prepares complete drawing packages to planning authority standards, including all required site layout plans, elevations, cross-sections, and photomontages.

We work with developers at every scale: from single-house rooftop systems to 100MW+ ground-mounted solar farms. All drawings are produced in AutoCAD and supplied in both PDF and DWG formats.

A complete planning drawing package removes ambiguity for the planning authority and reduces the likelihood of RFIs. We include revision rounds as standard and respond quickly to any queries raised during the planning process.

Why It Matters

Planners need to understand exactly what is being proposed. Incomplete or inaccurate drawings are the leading cause of Further Information requests in solar applications.
