Solar and storage from the array to the point of interconnection. Gage supplies the collection system, the inverter and transformer pads, the switchgear at the POI, and the safety and site control around it, from one bill of materials.
A utility-scale or commercial solar project is a distribution project laid flat across a field. The material list is dominated by cable and the equipment that collects, steps up, and protects it.
PV wire, DC feeders, and medium-voltage collection cable across the array, with the connectors and terminations at every combiner and inverter.
Pad-mounted step-up transformers at each inverter block, sized for the block's DC to AC ratio and the collection voltage.
Metal-clad or pad-mounted switchgear, reclosers, and revenue metering where the plant meets the utility.
Conduit, duct, and enclosures for the trench runs, the combiner pedestals, and the control wiring.
Barricades, signage, and lockout/tagout for a site that is energized section by section during commissioning.
PPE, fall protection for tracker and rooftop work, spill control at the transformer pads, and first aid.
What a solar or storage bill of materials usually covers by category. Send yours in any form and we'll quote it as one list.
| Collection | PV wire, DC and AC feeders, medium-voltage collection cable, grounding |
|---|---|
| Step-up | Pad-mounted and substation transformers at inverter blocks and the POI |
| Interconnection | Switchgear, reclosers, air-break switches, instrument transformers, metering |
| Raceway | Duct and conduit for trench runs, combiner and control enclosures |
| Fittings | Compression and mechanical connectors, terminations, grounding hardware |
| Lighting | Site and security lighting at the substation and O&M building |
| Safety and site control | PPE, fall protection, spill kits, barricades, lockout/tagout |
| Delivery | Reels and pads staged to the site by phase, nationwide |
The same four things we bring to every project, applied to a build where the schedule is set by the interconnection date.
