Installation of photovoltaic panels 

Procedures for Legalizing Photovoltaic Panel Installations

Installations under 10kW are legalized with a descriptive technical report and do not require an engineer’s signature, so it cannot be considered a full Project. It will only be a descriptive report with lesser responsibility in its signature.

Installations over 10kW require an electrical project and an engineer’s signature. In these types of installations, engineering will create the project with all the necessary solar studies. This will include the following main sections:

• Descriptive technical report
• Installation plans in plan and section
• Single-line diagram
• Electrical calculations for sizing
• Installation budget
• Technical data sheets of components
• Justification of self-consumption criteria and installed power
• Structural load calculations
• Waste management study
• Terms of conditions
• Safety and health study

Each section requires extensive technical knowledge and experience to develop studies and descriptions that justify regulations, provide technical solutions, perform calculations with specialized software, and ensure an engineer is responsible for what is being described.

A project includes Professional Liability Insurance, so in case the project is executed and does not achieve the expected results, the client or promoter can sue the technical party for material damages.
