We send back drawings you can build from.

CuriousKid Engineering is a solar PV design office working behind the scenes for installers, developers and in-house engineering teams. Layouts, single line diagrams, cable schedules, yield studies, full issued packages — produced in the software you already use, inside the process you already run.

Engagement models

Where do we fit in your organisation?

We slot into the gap you actually have, whether that is a sales team without a designer or an engineering team without a spare week.

Sales teams

Your in-house PV designer

We carry a job from design through pricing to a finished proposal document.

Solar developers

Technical consulting

Preliminary design, energy yield, financial analysis, bill of materials, pricing and RFP documentation.

In-house engineering

Extra capacity on heavy weeks

We take drafting off your team and stand in as additional engineering resource.

Installers

For-construction and as-built

We prepare the drawings your crews build from, and the as-builts you hand over.

Custom support

Trained into your workflow

Tell us how your process runs and we will learn it rather than ask you to change it.

Deliverables

What lands in your inbox

Two halves of the same job. Everything before the sale is won, and everything needed once it is.

Pre-sales engineering

Winning the job

Preliminary design

Panel layouts in AutoCAD, PV*SOL, PVsyst, HelioScope, Aurora, or whichever platform you already work in.

Site prospecting

Rooftops worth pursuing, identified from Google Maps, Nearmap and municipal maps against your pre-qualifying criteria.

Yield and savings

Bills, hourly data and generation modelled together to size the saving.

Sales proposals

Your back-end design team, building the proposal and preliminary design inside your existing process.

Tender and RFP work

We read, design and price up solar projects against the tender or RFP requirements.

Custom scope

Not listed here? We will learn your process and take on part of it, or all of it.

Post-sales engineering

Building it

Complete design package

Everything assembled into one professional document, ready for approvals and for handover.

Single line and wiring diagrams

SLD, three-line diagram, and communication system wiring diagram.

PV module layout drawings

Optimised module layout, mounting attachment detail, string layout, cable, tray and conduit layout.

Cable schedule and sizing

Cable sizing, short-circuit calculations, DC and AC cable schedules, string sizing calculations.

Switchgear and protection

Circuit breaker sizing and selection for the protection system.

Metering and monitoring

Metering and instrumentation design, and solar monitoring system design.

Beyond design

The work that comes after the drawings

Plants do not stop needing engineers once they are energised.

Generation analysis and troubleshooting

Reading generation data, diagnosing underperformance, and running root cause analysis.

3D layout and visualisation

SketchUp models, walkthrough videos, and inverter and equipment placement drawings.

Plant performance monitoring

We watch your existing PV portfolio, issue regular reports, and flag urgent alarms to your maintenance team.

Network and utility approvals

Filling out forms and preparing documentation for your network and council approvals.

Tooling

We work in your software, not ours

AutoCAD SketchUp HelioScope PVsyst PV*SOL Aurora OpenSolar SolarPlus SolarEdge Designer

Files come back in the format your team opens every day — no conversion step, no relearning, nothing for your engineers to unpick.

Work samples

Read the output before you commit

Two complete design sets, opened straight in your browser. No form, no email address, no call first.

Both sets run cover sheet through site plan, single line diagram, cable schedules, string wiring, routing and material list — the same package your crews would receive. Want something closer to your own project type? Ask and we will send it across.

Start a job

Send us the site data.
We will send back drawings you can build from.

A roof plan, a bill, a site address — whatever you have is enough to begin the conversation. We will tell you honestly whether it is a job we should take.
