rProcess Design Procedure
Customer fills the Design Request Form or loads the project in specific CRM Dashboard
This is the initial step where the customer provides necessary information such as site details, energy requirements, and any specific preferences or constraints through a designated form or dashboard in the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system.
rProcess QA Team reviews the inputs and passes it to the design team
Once the design request is received, it undergoes a quality assurance (QA) review to ensure that all necessary information is provided and accurate. The QA team checks for completeness and correctness before passing it on to the design team.
Design team does PV Layout based on inputs in solar online tool & asks for approval
The design team utilizes specialized software or online tools designed for solar PV (photovoltaic) system design such as Aurora Solar, Solargraf, HelioScope, PVSyst or others. They input the project specifications, site details, and other relevant parameters to create a layout for the solar PV system. This layout includes the positioning of solar panels, inverters, and other components. Once the layout is prepared, it is submitted for approval.
After approval, all the required drawings are completed in CAD Tool
Upon receiving approval for the PV layout, the design team proceeds to create detailed drawings using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools. These drawings include technical diagrams, electrical schematics, and structural layouts necessary for the approval & installation of the solar PV system.
Drawing files are shared in the shared drive & status is changed in CRM
Once the drawings are completed, they are converted into PDF format for easy sharing and accessibility. The PDF files are then uploaded to a shared drive or document repository for internal access. Additionally, the status of the project is updated in the CRM system to reflect the progress made in the design phase.
Upon client's approval, the project is changed to completed status
The final step involves obtaining approval from the client or customer based on the provided drawings and design. If the client approves the design, the project status is updated to "completed" in the CRM system, indicating that the design phase of the PV solar project has been successfully finished and is ready for implementation.
