Development Stage Planning
Otak deliver focused preliminary engineering and consulting to ensure the success of your solar photovoltaic installation.
Site Visualization
Our designers provide preliminary solar array layouts for enhanced visualization with satellite imagery, 3-D renderings, and glint and glare studies.
Energy Guarantees
Our extensive experience with Energy Production Modeling and Verification for investors, financial institutions, and developers means you can rest assured. With our in-house PV System Monitoring and Maintenance program, we are constantly refining our PV System modeling standards to ensure a thorough assessment of your project. Solar facility owners and financing entities appreciate our experience with Energy Production Modeling and our ability to adjust for weather data and equipment.
Plant Optimization
For utility-scale projects we offer complete equipment-specific, and site-specific plant optimization for achieving the solar electric facility’s lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
Civil Planning
Civil planning is critical for free-field ground mount solar projects. Our in-house civil team is well-versed in the preliminary civil planning, geotechnical studies, hydrology studies, pile-pull testing, grading plans, and the overall Conditional Use Permit application process.
Solar Rooftops
Our engineers have designed commercial rooftop solar projects across hundreds of rooftops in the United States. We can quantitatively determine if your roof has the structural capacity for a PV array. Our familiarity with various roof structures and roof membranes helps your projects achieve an efficient design solution.
Electrical Design
Our arc-flash certified electricians and expert engineering team will examine the existing electrical infrastructure to determine interconnection costs and options. We can help with preliminary interconnection agreements, single line diagrams, and regulatory ISO/RTO filings to accelerate your project.
Engineering and Construction Documents
Our quality practices set the standard in the solar industry.
There is no replacement for comprehensive construction plans, and permitting documents for the important industry we are growing. Otak we take a multi-disciplinarian approach to the design and engineering of your PV power plant, leveraging our combined expertise to offer modern day solutions. When you see Otak construction plans, you know that all the details are covered. We work to provide organized, comprehensive, and thoughtful details that ultimately protect the developer, the installer, and the owner. From raising unmatched

adhering world class standard compliance, employing highest calibers in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and Structural engineering specialist to assure the quality standards we always promise and keen to deliver.
Effectively we do the whole process from boots on the ground till grid connecting. Once you secured the agreements and the plan is approved, therefore you need a trustworthy technical solar company to leverage.
Commercial and Utility Solar Construction
Full Service Solar Contracting
You secured the agreements. The plan is approved. Your building rooftop, parking lot, or undeveloped acreage is about to become a solar energy facility. Now you need a trustworthy technical solar company, one that will engineer the details and deliver a complete turn-key solar project.
With over a decade of operating and maintaining commercial and utility solar facilities, Otak service team proactively protects and maximizes our customers’ solar investments.
Independent Solar Commissioning, Operations & Maintenance, and Asset Management
We understand the importance of maintaining large scale PV solar systems from an asset manager’s point of view.With over a decade of operating and maintaining commercial and utility solar facilities, Otak’s service team proactively protects and maximizes our customers’ solar investments.
Our solar PV systems are designed to provide 30 years of continuous operation, based on predicted return on investment. Thirty years is a long time, however, and you should expect some unexpected maintenance demands due to events such as severe weather, premature component failure, grid fluctuation, and rodent intrusion. Because every project and owner has its own unique needs, we optimize an asset management plan for each client.
Otak has been performing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) on commercial and utility-scale solar photovoltaic systems across the United States since 2003. Because every project and owner has its own unique needs, we optimize an asset management plan for each client.
Commissioning is a comprehensive verification process which helps ensure an installed project aligns to its engineering plans and energy predictions. Commissioning can be performed prior to commercial operation and at many stages during the long-term operations of the project. We recommended all or portions of our commissioning process at regular intervals to ensure optimal system integrity for the solar energy facility’s lifespan.
Our PV system commissioning check-list and performance testing serve as an empirical benchmark for future diagnostics. The level of rigor behind our system audits and inspections is unparalleled. Because we are an engineering (link to Design page) and construction (link to Build page) company first, we inspect the system from an engineer’s and contractor’s perspective. Our solar commissioning services are recognized and appreciated by financing institutions, Independent Power Producers, and utility companies.
We have an extensive track record developing successful, utility-scale solar farms.
Our staff of construction managers, financial analysts, solar designers, and licensed civil and electrical solar engineers works seamlessly to deliver solar at many different types of sites.
From the initial feasibility assessment to full installation and long-term project management, Otak stays on the project from beginning to end, for a uniquely integrated experience. Solar electrical systems may be installed comfortably on rooftops, in car parking lots, and open land to accomplish the same end goal at many different sites. And that end goal is: sustainable energy production.
Otak is aware of the many challenges facing the farming and agricultural industry. Investing in an industrial solar installation at farming, cold storage, or water pumping locations can help you meet these challenges head on by reducing costs and paving the way for a more sustainable operation. Whether you are looking to optimize energy for water pumping, improve your cold storage facility, or just want to offset your operating costs, the folks at Otak will provide expert guidance every step of the way. Farming & Agriculture
Going solar is especially advantageous for many industrial applications because of the high-energy consumption these businesses require. Engaging Otak for your industrial solar installation makes it easy to reduce costs and plan for the future. Otak adequate experience through handful number of sites and can assist from the initial consultation through construction. Otak will help you transform your available space into a sustainable energy operation, creating savings for your company and your customers.
Water treatment plants require a great deal of energy and are always looking for ways to reduce taxpayers’ water rates. How can solar energy help? Installing a solar electric system can greatly reduce operating costs and lock in low electricity rates. Otak will work with your team to optimize your site, analyze your current energy consumption, and research available incentives so that we can provide an ideal customized solar installation plan. For these large scale solar projects, Otak offers complete equipment-specific and site-specific plant optimization so that your water treatment plant can achieve the lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
