Pure Power Engineering will guide your solar + storage project through the development process and secure approval for your interconnection application with the utility on the initial submission. Our interconnection documents (stamped single/three line diagrams), site plans, and construction documents are well known in the industry for being easy to understand for our non-engineer clients and installers. This brings the following benefits:

• Procurement – Avoid mistakes when ordering materials.
• Permits – Faster approval by the AHJ.
• Installers - Avoid errors or bad practices during installation

Our code compliant, value engineered and risk mitigating construction drawings will save your business significant capital & operating expenses while maximizing the performance and profitability of your solar + storage systems.

Load Flow Studies

Pure Power will analyze the part of the solar + storage system that specializes in maximum steady state AC current or AC power.

The load flow study determines voltage and current at buses and cables. It is used mainly to verify equipment and conductor ratings.

Short Circuit

Pure Power will perform a short circuit analysis of the solar + storage system which is used to determine the available fault current at each device in the electrical system under study.

The available fault current at a device is a function of the available fault current from all sources—including the utility, PV inverters, ESS inverters, motors as well as the impedance between those sources and the device.

Arc Flash

PPE will evaluate the potential arc flash incident energy at points in the system where work on live equipment might be performed.

The result of an arc flash study is a series of warning labels that get applied to each piece of electrical equipment in the system. This label defines the arc flash boundary as well as the incident energy at some distance from the equipment. 

Lightning Risk Assessment

PPE will perform an analysis of the solar + storage system and determine the probability that a lightning strike will cause damage.

The results of this report can be used to justify the addition of lightning protection equipment for the solar + storage system.
