Intelligent Design and Construction Solutions, LLC was subcontracted by MWH for the City of Chicago Department of Environment (CDoE) to visit and assess solar array sites. These sites varied in nature from Chicago Public Schools, to community centers, to a heritage museum. When visiting a site location, IDCS inspected each photovoltaic panel and noted any physical damage before testing the array circuitry to determine performance efficiency. After collecting the performance data from each of the locations, IDCS compiled the efficiency results and condition statuses using standardized online forms. Our ultimate goal with this project was to provide an accurate assessment of the current state of the site and all of its relevant components; precise measurements and keen observation were crucial to making valid and cost-efficient recommendations for improvements, upgrades, and repairs.
