SOLAR PV AND ENERGY
Solar PV and energy
Turnkey design, consultancy and SITC of rooftop, grid-connected and hybrid solar PV systems, with smart metering.
RAHCore delivery roleDesign planning · specialist coordination · project management · commissioning · lifecycle support
ENGINEERING VIEW
Generation, metering and the distribution board belong to the same design conversation.
A solar installation is an electrical project with modules attached. Where it connects, how it is metered and how the building load is served matter more to the outcome than the panel specification.
RAHCore delivers solar PV through design planning, consultancy, supply coordination, installation coordination, testing and commissioning, with metering and monitoring included.
TECHNICAL SCOPE
What sits inside this capability
- Solar PV power plants
- Energy management
REQUIREMENT
The requirement this addresses
Solar bought as a product rather than an electrical scope produces connection problems at the LT board, metering that does not support the intended tariff arrangement, and monitoring that shows generation without showing what it displaced.
DELIVERY
How RAHCore approaches it
We design from the connection point backwards. The distribution arrangement, the metering configuration and the monitoring requirement are settled first; the array is then sized against the roof and the load rather than against a headline figure.
DELIVERY METHOD
From planning to commissioning
- 01Site and roof assessment, with shading and structural considerations
- 02Load study and system sizing against consumption
- 03Electrical design covering connection, protection and metering
- 04Supply coordination, installation coordination, testing and commissioning (SITC)
- 05Metering configuration and monitoring set-up
- 06Documentation and handover, with O&M available under contract

DETAILED CAPABILITY
Scope of work
Energy management
- Smart metering solutions
- Energy management and monitoring
- Energy-efficient infrastructure design
- Electric power generation using solar energy
INTEGRATION
Integration with other systems
Solar sits inside our electrical scope, which is why the connection and protection design is handled rather than subcontracted. Smart metering feeds the same energy management and monitoring layer used in our smart building work.
LIFECYCLE
Lifecycle and maintenance
Generation degrades quietly: soiling, a failed string and an inverter fault all reduce output without stopping it. Monitoring plus scheduled inspection under an O&M arrangement is what keeps a system performing against its design assumption.
TYPICAL ENGAGEMENTS
Where this capability is applied
- Rooftop solar for a commercial or institutional building
- Grid-connected systems with net or gross metering
- Hybrid systems with storage or backup
- Solar as part of a data centre sustainable power scope
- Smart metering and energy management roll-out
- Energy-efficiency programme across an estate
WHY RAHCOREDelivered as an electrical scopeConnection, protection and metering designed in-house, not subcontracted. Monitoring that shows displacementGeneration reported against consumption, not in isolation.
