Delivery detail

Technical depth without unnecessary complexity.

Each service area is organised around its actual constraints, review path and production deliverables.

Solar PV

Electrical and permit design

Layouts, calculations, schedules, single-line diagrams and coordinated submission packages.

Thermal & BESS

Integrated energy systems

Collector, storage, critical-load, equipment and interface decisions for residential or commercial use.

Revit & BIM

Efficient product content

Useful geometry, parameters and connector logic without unnecessary manufacturing complexity.

Automation & AI

Controlled business workflows

Inputs, rules, validation, human review and outputs are explicit before deployment.

A distinct Solarist service

Skilled people should not spend their day moving information between systems.

Small and medium-sized companies often lose expensive employee time to repetitive document handling, manual data entry, recurring reports, email follow-up, calculation transfer and knowledge searches.

Solarist identifies these bottlenecks and deploys practical AI workflows around existing tools—without replacing accountable human decisions.

Discuss a repetitive process
01 / Discover

Find the real cost of repetition

Map people, documents, systems, delays, rework and approval steps.

02 / Design

Define the controlled workflow

Specify inputs, business rules, AI tasks, validations, exceptions and human decisions.

03 / Deploy

Connect the tools already in use

Implement document processing, knowledge assistance, reporting or task automation.

04 / Measure

Track time, errors and review quality

Measure reduced effort and improved consistency while preserving auditability.

Working process

A methodical path from requirement to release.

01 / Clarify

Understand

Confirm inputs, standards, constraints, users and intended use.

02 / Develop

Engineer

Create the design, model, calculation or workflow.

03 / Verify

Validate

Run structured technical, usability and documentation checks.

04 / Release

Deliver

Provide production-ready files, deployment support and handover.

Engineering tools

Automation grounded in real technical work.

Future public calculators and technical intake tools will use the same system.

Electrical design

Voltage Drop Calculator

Planned NEC-aligned calculations with transparent assumptions.

Compliance

SCCR / Fault Current

Planned short-circuit current rating review workflow.

System design

PV & BESS Sizing

Planned string sizing, conductor checks and storage design inputs.
