OnRenewables (OnR) was founded in June 2017 by Rafael Peris and Jose Carlos Sanchez with the mission to contribute to introduce the renewable energy sources into the planet earth on a practical, easy and affordable way while protecting and preserving the environment.
We are a global engineering and project management firm for the solar business focused on guiding and supporting our clients through their challenges, ultimately our challenges too.
We bring together professionals from diverse disciplines and with complementary skills, on a uniquely global scale. The depth of expertise and sheer numbers of specialists allow OnR to take on complex, strategic projects that no other firm could deliver so flexible, dynamic, cost-efficient and fast.
OnR looks at every project with a fresh perspective, no matter how big or small it may be. The firm supports and promotes in its people a willingness to think laterally. Often, this willingness to take a creative approach produces ideas and concepts that may not have been immediately obvious, but which often deliver the best solutions.
OnRenewables currently serves several customers worldwide and employs six people and several collaborators based in our offices in Valencia (Spain), Marbella (Spain) and Tokyo (Japan). The Team OnRenewables. The Team 5

Sustainability
Running a business responsibly is key to its long-term sustainability: all decisions we make, whether regarding the governance and strategy of our company or about the planning, design and delivery of projects, have consequences for society. Sustainability – at the heart of corporate social responsibility (CSR) – helps us ensure that those consequences are positive, adding value for our clients and the communities we work in. Using our ingenuity to deliver lasting value for all – that’s our approach to sustainability. We have the knowledge to do it – and we believe we have the responsibility to do it. It’s that simple.
We are OnRenewables We bring together professionals from diverse disciplines and with complementary skills, on a uniquely global scale. Engineering Methodology and Technology
We solve clients’ problems with the most advance methodology, technology and software available in the renewables market. We deploy from software to analyze and design in 3D the civil works and module layout, to software to calculate the civil earthwork, drainage systems, racking system, plant performance and yield as well as sizing the equipment for complying with the interconnection requirements.
Following some of the tools
AutoCAD Civil, PSS/E, Robot Structural Analysis, SAP 2000, PVSyst, Matlab/Simulink, CivilStorm, PondPack, FlowMaster, Battery Sizing Analysis, Network Analysis, Protective Device Coordination, DC Systems, Cable Systems, Ground Grid Systems, Dynamic & Transients, PV Array / Solar Panel, Cable Thermal Analysis, Power Monitoring & Simulation, Switching Sequence Management, etc. Project Management Approach
Getting things done on time, on budget and on quality is the essence of our project management. OnR’s project management is based on a pro-active 24/7 approach, storing, tracking and retrieving the information related to the things that need to get done, that way, we avoid delays, cost overruns and/or unnecessary lower quality in our projects.
We provide “front-end” planning by thinking in advance, generating a series of actions which can later be undertaken without further planning. OnRenewables. Offices locations 13

Which tasks do we consider for designing high performing PV Plants?
Obtain single all cadastral maps of the project lands to consolidate Consolidated cadastral it into one single project cadastral maps for defining the project maps boundary.
Obtain and integrate topographical data either via topographical Topographical Data onsite survey, aerial or satellite data into the project boundary to assess the actual terrain condition.
Analyze actual terrain condition to determine useable space for Actual terrain analysis panels placement with none or limited civil works considering the slope direction and inclination.
Define which is the optimum final terrain shape to reduce earth Final terrain analysis work and maximize plant capacity and performance.
Calculate cut and fill figures (cubic meters) to estimate earthwork Cut and Fill Calculation cost.
Define and calculate the adequate drainage system elements such Drainage system as retention ponds, ditches, manholes, etc.
Define the optimum racking system configuration to maximize Racking system plant capacity and performance such as panels per table, landscape, portrait, tilted angle, mono-pole, bi-pole, etc.
Place arrays considering the shadings as per customer preference Arrays distribution and the terrain condition.
Obtain the optimum module layout maximizing plant capacity Module layout and performance.
