Prepare vertical PV lighting inputs before comparing project options.
Use this checklist when discussing a vertical photovoltaic format for an off-grid lighting project. Prepare the site, load and interface details so you can request information for a named configuration.
Give every proposed format the same input pack.
A project can compare options fairly only when the site, operating task and approval boundaries are written down once and used consistently.
- Site geometry
Provide plan, elevation where useful, clearances, nearby obstructions and access route.
- Solar context
Record location, shading observations, surrounding structures and planned changes.
- Load and operation
State connected loads, schedule, control expectations, criticality and permitted downtime.
- Interfaces
Identify mounting, electrical connection, civil work and maintenance responsibilities.
Define the proposed configuration and required documents.
Exact identity
Record model, revision and configuration only when a candidate is actually identified.
Physical interface
Request the relevant drawing for mounting, access and third-party support review.
System context
Keep assumptions about loads, controls and storage interfaces visible to the project team.
Document scope
Request current files with their date, holder, named scope and destination relevance.
Compare energy, maintenance and installation requirements.
Request yield, lifetime, maintenance and output information for each proposed configuration, and confirm current availability. Compare the supporting evidence using the same site and operating assumptions.
- Format matrixCompare vertical PV and flat-panel evidence requests.
- Solar designOrganise the broader solar-lighting design inputs.
- Document scopeKeep document interpretation bounded.
Send the site and load details for a project proposal.
Include geometry, shading observations, operating context, mounting constraints, destination and the documents required for the project.
