EPC delivery platformSOUTH AFRICAN C&I SOLAR PV + BESS
EPCDesk is delivery software for South African commercial & industrial solar EPC contractors. SANS, NRS and IEC standards are built into its calculation engines and document generators — your engineers review and sign, the system does the heavy lifting.

SHT 01WHY EPCDESK
Every C&I solar project in South Africa lives or dies on the same paperwork: cable schedules, protection settings, SSEG packs, safety files, test records, the CoC. EPCDesk treats that paperwork as an engineering output — computed from your design data, not retyped into templates.
Standards-referenced calculation engines with the SA tables built in. Inputs come from your project's design data; outputs are review-ready.
Fifteen deliverable types generated server-side from live project data — schedules, registers, forms and packs that would otherwise take an engineer's afternoon each.
Site assessment, yield, design, permits, safety, commissioning and handover share one project model — with approvals, revisions and an audit trail behind every number.
SHT 02PROJECT LIFECYCLE
Each module hands its outputs to the next stage — no retyping between tools, no version-two-final-FINAL spreadsheets.

SHT 04DELIVERABLES
Server-side PDF generation from live project data. When the design changes, the documents follow.
SHT 05TRACEABILITY
The moat isn't more tools. It's one traceable model from feasibility to as-built.
Change an inverter and the string design, SLD, cable schedule, BOM and compliance documents all know about it. That's the difference between software that tracks a project and software that engineers one.
SHT 06GET STARTED
Bring a live or recent C&I project to the demo — we'll walk it from site data to generated deliverables in EPCDesk.
