Built for the ground. Designed for scale.

We are not just sketching,
Engineering.

Horizon will never cost you thousands of euros a year. ↗

Every contour. Every row. Every connection.
Horizon Design brings terrain, layout and electrical engineering into one utility-scale solar workflow.

Why separate cable sizing from string voltage?

A cable-sizing pass and a string-voltage assessment answer different engineering questions. In this supplied example, cable sizing passes while the voltage design remains incomplete. Zero reported voltage failures does not make an incomplete assessment complete.

Design basis & references

References visible in the supplied example include IEC 60364-5-52 for current-carrying capacity and voltage drop, and IEC 60287-1-1 for cable current rating and resistance calculations.

The reference list is shown as part of the product example; this presentation does not independently certify compliance.

From individual string checks to a quantified cable BOQ.

Engineering in practice

A layout is only the beginning.
The numbers must stand up.

Cable sizing. Voltage drop. Material quantities. Separate checks, visible results and a clear design basis. This is what “We are engineering.” looks like.

01 / The platform

From complex terrain.
To considered design.

Solar engineering starts with the land. Keep the physical site, the array and the electrical design connected from the first decision to the final deliverable.

01 / UNDERSTAND THE SITE
Z +124.6

Work with the land.

Bring terrain into the design conversation. Understand contours, site boundaries and slope before committing to an array layout.

TERRAIN · CONTOURS · SITE GEOMETRY
02 / SHAPE THE ARRAY

Give every row a reason.

Develop fixed-tilt utility-scale layouts with the site in view. Consider row spacing, orientation and access as part of one coherent design.
