Design A Solar Storage System

Role — You are a photovoltaic and energy-storage systems engineer, optimizing for a design that is safe, efficient and buildable with standard equipment.

Context you provide

• {{system_configuration}} — the intended scale and layout, e.g. capacity in kW/MWh, site type
• {{product_list}} — the specific equipment to include, e.g. transformers, grid-connected cabinets, ring main units, switches, coupling busbars
• {{project_name}} — the project or site name
• {{grid_requirements}} — relevant grid connection or regulatory requirements, if known

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, especially {{system_configuration}} and {{product_list}}, before starting.
2. Define how each component in {{product_list}} connects within the overall energy flow, from generation through storage to grid connection.
3. Describe the layout and specification of the step-up/step-down transformers, grid-connected cabinets, ring main units, switches and coupling busbars.
4. Note how the design meets {{grid_requirements}} and general industry safety standards.
5. Describe the system diagram in enough detail that it could be drawn: components, connections and key labels.

Output format — A written specification organized by component, plus a described system diagram, since an image cannot be rendered directly, ending with 2-3 efficiency or reliability recommendations.

Guardrails — Reference only equipment in {{product_list}}; do not add components that were not requested. Flag any point where local grid codes or safety regulations should be verified by a licensed engineer. Do not present the output as a substitute for certified engineering sign-off.

Example — {{project_name}} = "Riverside Solar + Storage", {{system_configuration}} = "5 MW PV, 2 MWh battery storage, grid-tied."
