1x15 kWp PV Solar Installation for the first ESB connection on Agriculture Farm near Belgooly, Co. Cork. Two PV Solar Installations for two separate ESB Connections on one Farm. Front view. 2x6x6 = 72 PV Solar Panels in total. Two separate NC7 applications were sent to ESB. MEC 8kW (75% of the max capacity) was agreed for the first connection.

1x15 kWp PV Solar Installation for the second ESB connection on Agriculture Farm near Belgooly, Co. Cork. Two PV Solar Installations for two separate ESB Connections on one Farm. Front view. 2x6x6 = 72 PV Solar Panels in total. Two separate NC7 applications were sent to ESB. MEC 6kW (50% of the max capacity) was agreed for the second connection.

Six PV Solar Panels 1722 x 1134 mm bolted on a metal frame and mounted on a concrete foundation. It is oriented to East-West. Tier 1 bi-facial PV Solar Panels, 430W Each. 6x6x430 = 15,480 Wp (15.48 kWp). Two 6kW Solar Inverters. The maximum Power 12kW.

12 x 6 = 72 PV Solar Panels 1722 x 1134 mm bolted on a metal frame and mounted on a concrete foundation. Hot dip galvanized structures bolted by stainless steel bolts. Expected life span 50 years (two generations of PV Solar Panels). Individual Earthing of each structure, bonded by 16 sq mm copper conductor. Connected by 3x25 sq mm AL conductor. Cable lengths over 160 m each. Terminated in IP66 boxes with isolation switch on facade of the building. We are Substation Engineers. We have used the same technology for PV Solar Installation.

The export cable is coming to the house in plastic pipe. It is terminated in robust, IP66, metal junction box. The isolating 63 A switch is lockable. Three-core copper cable is terminated in Farm House Distribution Board. The overall installation is in accordance with I.S. 10101. The final certificate will be issued by KEE Ltd. soon and for every similar installation.

0n Sunday 21/09/25 was very nice, bright day with isolated small clouds in the afternoon. The system had the best generating performance in September 2025. 122 kWh was generated by two systems in one day. The overall generation during three months of testing was 6,600 kWh (3,300 kWh per one system). It has confirmed the calculated annual generating capacity 15,000 kWh by one system. 5,167 kWh of generated energy was directly used by the Farm House and by the Farm Workshop (78.3%). It represents saving of EUR 2,735 just in three months of testing with several gaps in performance caused by testing.

Two 6 kW Growatt Inverters can deliver 12 kWh of generated energy every hour during the sunny day. Their Power was restricted by ESB to just 75%. However these two Inverters has generated 34.1 kWh each at this nice day, 68.2 kWh in total. We are hoping that ESB connection will be improved soon and it will allow usage of full power of the system. In this case the return of investment is expected in less than 4 years. Detailed daily performance of Solars 1&2 is shown in Gallery below.

Subcontractors on Hornsea 1 Project for GE / Oersted. We were Project Engineers of 150 MVA Harmonic Filter for 1 218 MW Offshore Wind Farm Stage 1. It was built in North Killingholme Substation in UK. Stages 2 and 3 were developed. Stage number 4 is in planning process. Wind Farm has scheduled capacity approx. 6 000 MW.

Platform Design for Siemens / SSE. We were involved in Platform SLD Creation, Platform Design, Switching Instructions, Transformer Design, Platform Earthing Design ...

Contractual work for GE / Oersted in 2017-2018 on this Project. We were involved in Harmonic Filter Design, Procurement, Engineering, Project Management, Contractor Selection, Contractor Supervision, Commissioning and Handover to Client.

Employed by Siemens / Equinor for work on Platform Design. We provided Platform SLD, Initial Studies, Calculations, Platform Design, Switching Instructions, Transformer Calculations, Platform Earthing ...

Employed by GE / Oersted in 2016-2017 on this Project. We were involved in Engineering, Project Management, Contractor Supervision, Commissioning and Handover to Client.

I was employed by URS / Vattenfall in early stages of Pen y Cymoedd Onshore Wind Farm Project. I worked as a Client Engineer. I was helping to Vattenfall to select a General Contractor (Siemens won the job). I was involved in MV Cable Route Selection, work on Layout of future Substation, on Grid Connection, UK Grid Code Compliance etc.

Employed by GE / Vattenfall on Testing and Engineering of Grid Connection of one of the first large UK Wind Farms. It was started as a Alstom project. It was Areva and then Alstom Project again. GE bought Alstom at some stage. We were working for three companies on the same project for three years. It was very difficult to pass UK National Grid Compliance test. But it was successfully finished. We provided also O&M Manual, Tools Manual, Commissioning Support, draft of Hand-over document, As-built drawings etc.

Employed by Gaeltec Utilities / ESB to provide Full Design of 66 MW Onshore Wind Farm in Fullabrook, Barnstaple, UK. We provided Layout of Wind Farm, Earthing Study, Fault Level Study, Harmonic Study. We also provided full Design of the Electrical Part of 33/132 kV Substation connected by 6 km long 132 kV underground cable to WPD Barnstaple Substation. We were in the position of Electrical Engineering Consultant of the Wind Farm. We provided full Electrical Design of all Control & Protection Cabinets, MV Switchboard, 70 MVA Transformer Protection, Alarm Annunciator, etc.

Employed by British Solar Renewables for Grid Connection of the largest UK Solar Farm (at this time). It was the first BSR 132 kV Grid Connection to UKP Network in Southern Kent, UK. This is a massive Solar Plant with some 199 760 solar panels, producing 49 305 MWh annually. We provided Full Electric Design of 33/132kV 60 MVA Transformer, Transformer Control & Protection Cabinets, Alarm System, Signalling to UKPN Network, Protection Settings, Fault Level Study, Earthing Study, Harmonic Study, Full Design in Eplan 8 ...

I was employed by URS, BPI and others. I was working on large number of Solar & Wind Projects. The size of these Renewable Generators was from 100 kW(p) up to 10 MW(p).
