The Illumina Standard

Our build teams adhere to a rigorous 200-point quality control checklist. We don't cut corners on the things you can't see.

Cable Management

Ensuring longevity and safety of all electrical conduits.

  • Cables run in perforated, covered GI trays for airflow & UV protection.
  • Trays sized to 60-70% capacity to prevent overheating.
  • Minimum bending radius strictly adhered to per manufacturer specs.
  • Underground cables buried at 0.5m depth in heavy-gauge conduits.
  • Cable glands installed at all entry points to prevent insulation failure.

Earthing & Protection

Comprehensive lightning and surge protection systems.

  • Type 2 SPDs installed on all solar DBs and Inverters.
  • Decentralized earth pits with resistance < 5.0 Ohms.
  • Armory of main cables earthed at both ends to minimize EMF.
  • Equipotential bonding of solar structures to LPS system.
  • Zero-compromise insulation and continuity testing.

Structural Integrity

Built to withstand environmental stresses for 25+ years.

  • Full structural analysis included in every commercial offer.
  • Wind load protection engineered for specific site typography.
  • Water ingress protection for all outdoor junctions.
  • Walkways and maintenance paths integrated into design.
  • Concrete layering for underground trench protection.
