GK Engineers provided electrical design for a power upgrade at IC Star Solar’s solar module manufacturing plant in Tomball. The tenant already used three 3,000 kVA utility transformers and needed more capacity for new production lines.

The design adds a fourth 3,000 kVA pad-mount transformer and a new 4,000A, 277/480V main switchboard carrying nearly 4,000 kVA of production equipment, reworks the existing 4,000A service tap box, and adds a bussed CT section to a 3,000A service shared with a neighboring tenant. Load analyses, short-circuit values and grounding were documented for each service so the utility could process the request.

GK worked from the landlord’s electrical files and the tenant’s equipment list, and the permit set went to the City of Tomball in September 2026.
