Solar deployment is scaling across every setting — individual roofs, housing developments, commercial rooftops, and ground-mounted solar farms. Each needs a drawing package, and on a rollout across many sites that becomes a multi-site production programme rather than a series of one-off jobs. Outsource CAD produces CAD drawings and renders for solar PV projects across all three installation types, working from your PV and electrical design and site information.

The three installation types

Rooftop residential & multi-residential

Panel layouts, string layouts and single-line diagrams, and mounting arrangements for homes and housing developments. On a development, the value is consistency across every house type and plot, produced at the pace of the build.

Rooftop commercial & industrial

Site plans defining the leased area, equipment footprint, access routes and demised boundaries — the drawings landlords and operators need to agree and document a site lease.

Electrical schematics & single-line diagrams

Schematic drawings and single-line diagrams produced from your electrical design — showing distribution, charger connections, metering and protection arrangements.

What we produce

Mounting & fixing details
Cable routing drawings
Civils & groundworks drawings (ground-mount)
As-built drawings
3D renders & visualisations

Working from your design

Outsource CAD is a drafting and rendering service. We produce solar drawings from your design and site information — your PV system design, module and inverter selection, string sizing, structural and wind loading, and your grid connection (G99/DNO) design, together with the roof or site survey.

We do not carry out the PV or electrical design itself. Those engineering decisions stay with your solar designer and electrical engineer. What we do is turn that design into a complete, consistent, issue-ready drawing and render package — accurately, and at the pace a rollout demands.

Multi-site is our background

Solar across a housing development or a commercial portfolio is a multi-site programme — the same drawings repeated across many sites to a consistent standard, delivered to the build schedule. That is the same discipline as a telecoms or EV charging rollout, and it is where Outsource CAD comes from: our founder previously built and ran a specialist multi-site telecoms CAD company before it was acquired. We apply a single standard across every site, track the programme on a shared register, and scale capacity to the pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What solar drawings do you produce?

Panel and array layouts, string layouts, electrical schematics and single-line diagrams, mounting and fixing details, cable routing, civils drawings for ground-mount, as-builts, and 3D renders — across rooftop residential, commercial and ground-mount solar.

Do you design the PV system?

No. We produce drawings from your design. The PV system design, string sizing, inverter selection, structural and wind loading, and the grid connection design are carried out by your solar designer and electrical engineer. We turn that into the drawing package.

Can you handle solar across a whole housing development?

Yes. That is a multi-site programme and it is our background. We define the house-type layouts and drawing standard once and apply them consistently across every plot, tracked on a shared register, at the pace of the build.

Do you cover ground-mount solar farms?

Yes — site layout and array field, mounting and tracker arrangements, DC/AC electrical layouts, cable routing and trenching, civils for access tracks and inverter stations, and the as-built record.

Can you produce renders for planning?

Yes. Photorealistic renders for planning applications — important for ground-mount where landscape visual impact is a planning consideration — and for investor and stakeholder presentations.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the installation type, the number of sites, and the drawing and render requirements. Contact us with your project or programme for a quote. Call +44 28 9009 8876 or email info@outsourcecad.com.
