What 太陽光発電の設計・施工 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

設計は太陽光発電システムを設計し、施工は工程管理などを行う。
 太陽光発電には発電した電気を自らが使用する「自家消費型」と、事業や投資などを目的に、発電した電気をすべて電力会社に売る(売電)「全量売電型」に分類される。
 設計においては太陽光発電設置者が設置する目的と予算などのニーズに応えつつ、最適な発電性能と安全性の高い発電所とするべく、電気設計、構造設計を行う。架台、基礎、地盤強度などは、「日本産業規格(JIS)」、「電気設備に関する技術基準」などの基準や関係法規・法令に則した設計を行う必要がある。守らなければならない基準や法規・法令は、設置する地域や場所など、設置環境によって異なる。
 施工においては、設計された発電所の建設を進めるために日程、工程、安全、予算を管理していく。建設にあたっては設計を忠実に守って行うだけでなく作業を進めていく上で変化する近隣や設置環境を考慮し、設計通りに進まないことが予測される、または進まなくなった場合に設計の変更を提言・実行する必要がある。
 設計、施工いずれにおいても、設置者の目的と予算に則しつつも、太陽光発電所は20年以上の長期間にわたって稼働し続けるものであることを念頭に、安全面、耐久性を最優先事項として取り組む必要がある。
