MEP engineering for solar, EV charging & backup power.
Solar, storage and charging are an electrical design problem first: the service, the load and the code. We document it so the plan reviewer can follow it.
In shortSolar, storage and charging are an electrical design problem first: the service, the load and the code. We size PV (NEC 690, 705), batteries (706), EV charging (625) and generators (700 to 702), and document it so the plan reviewer can follow.

Questions about solar, EV charging and backup power.
How do you design solar PV to the NEC?
We lay out the array, size strings and conductors, design rapid shutdown and the interconnection to NEC Articles 690 and 705, and draw the single-line diagram, so the plan reviewer can follow the system from array to service. Every design is prepared for the NEC edition your state has adopted.
How do you size an EV charging installation?
We calculate the charger load at the continuous-load factor the code requires, check the service and panel capacity, and where several chargers share one service design energy management (NEC 625.42) so the main service does not need upsizing. We also size the conduit and panels and coordinate meter placement with the utility.
Do you design battery storage and backup power?
Yes. Battery energy storage to NEC Article 706 (and AS/NZS 5139 in Australia and New Zealand), and generators and transfer switches to NEC Articles 700, 701 and 702 with the sizing and sequencing documented.
Do you design solar for Australia and New Zealand?
Yes. PV arrays to AS/NZS 5033, inverter grid connection to AS/NZS 4777 and batteries to AS/NZS 5139, coordinated with the network operator on export limits and protection settings. See Australia and New Zealand.
