Start with demand, then consider supply, flexibility and the infrastructure that connects them.
Planning sequence, not a wiring diagram. Grid and engineering requirements apply throughout.
Establish an energy baseline from bills and interval meters. Compare lighting, motors, heating, cooling and operating schedules. Separate changes in production from genuine efficiency improvements.
Record operating hours, peak load and process temperatures. Electrification can shift fuel demand onto electricity, so check electrical capacity and time of use.
Solar and wind output depend on local resources, equipment and connection limits. Annual generation is not the same as supply at every hour.
Compare on-site ownership, service arrangements and power purchase agreements. Review renewable attribute ownership, counterparty risk, additionality and local accounting rules.
Storage shifts electricity across time; it does not create energy. Usable capacity, inverter power, losses, degradation and controls all shape performance.
Define whether the priority is self-consumption, peak management or critical-load support. Backup requires suitable islanding, protection and controls.
Connection approvals, export limits, protection and cybersecurity affect what a system can do. Controls coordinate assets within those constraints.
