This project was located on the coast in harsh and wet environmental conditions near the North Carolina Albermarle Sound. Our engineering team worked closely with the developer, civil engineer and installation team throughout the entire project to create a solid design able to stand up to the test.
The layout was split between two arrays to avoid multiple existing drainage ditches needed to help control water on the site. Electrical equipment selection and placement was designed to accommodate the future addition of an energy storage system. Elevated equipment skids were used to raise equipment above potential flood waters.
Our team provided the full electrical design (PV system, auxiliary power, medium voltage design) and the structural design (inverter group structures, equipment pads). We also served as the design project manager tasked with coordinating all contractors involved in the design phase, including civil, surveyor and equipment manufacturers.
