Pioneering Solar

As a leader in solar since 1982, Dulas is well-placed to support the successful development of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. Our experienced consultants can guide clients through the full development, construction, and operational lifecycle.

Our experience encompasses a wide range of solar projects, from ground mounted utility-scale systems to smaller ‘behind-the-meter’ rooftop systems for industrial applications.

We offer initial feasibility assessments, planning consultancy, and solar design at utility scale, plus a range of project management and owners engineering services for construction and operation.

Solar development consultancy

Whether it’s for a ground mounted or roof mounted solar system, our track record of helping developers – having been a constructor and operator – provides a unique perspective to our development consultancy services. Dulas promotes a phased approach, reducing unnecessary expenditures by identifying potential showstoppers early in the process to minimise project development risk.

We balance each project’s business goals with a sensitive and comprehensive approach to the consultation, planning and environmental assessment process. Dulas’s designers, planners and project EIA consultants have helped clients to successfully develop solar projects across the UK and Ireland, with a combined capacity of more than 250MW.

Solar design and optimisation

Dulas offers an in-house technical design and optimisation service for solar PV projects. Solar projects in the subsidy-free era require a design approach that is highly focused on satisfying the underlying business model. This often requires achieving the lowest long-term Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) generation, balancing capital expenditure with lifetime revenues and costs.

Our design approach follows a defined process to obtain this outcome:

  • Definition of client requirements
  • Constraints and terrain mapping using advanced GIS tools
  • Site layout design, in coordination with manufacturers supplied information
  • Optimisation, iteration and refinement to achieve project financial goals
