How it works
How the solver turns a drawn boundary into a finished BESS site layout — the rules it follows, and what every setting changes. Read a layout and know why each element sits where it does.
1How to design a BESS site layoutStep-by-step guide to designing a battery energy storage system site layout — from finding your site to exporting a finished layout.2The layout modelWhat happens between drawing a boundary and seeing a finished layout — the structure every SiteLayout.ai design follows.3BESS section configurationsEvery configuration the solver can place — the DC cluster geometry, the PCS & MV skid it pairs with, and how Auto chooses when you don't.4DC block configurationThe DC block's four sides, how blocks stack into clusters, and what the 2×2 / 2×1 / 1×1 setting constrains.5Spacing and safety rulesThe four spacing concepts every layout is built on — internal gap, service clearance, safety distance, boundary setback — and how gaps are shared.6Roads, gates and accessThe perimeter ring, the drive-through spine, the no-road option, and how the solver guarantees a vehicle can reach every unit.7E-house and grid connectionHow the POI anchors the layout, how the E-house is sized and placed, and what dragging it actually does.8Supported equipmentThe equipment the tool's models are based on today — the standard DC block and PCS & MV skid designs, with their datasheet dimensions and ratings.
