Intelligent renewables
The engineering firm that follows your plants from site assessment to the permit: permit documentation ready in weeks and every project under control.
The problem
Every month of design is a month without a permit.
Today a permit application file typically takes 8–12 weeks and an engagement of €50–80k. Scattered documents, requests for additions that restart the process, weeks of a stalled project while the land and the grid connection offer wait.

How it works
Engineering expertise, accelerated by software.
You send us the documents. We analyse them and design. Our engineers review and sign. You receive the complete application file, with every value traceable to its source.
Step 1 of 5 · Documents
The documents you already have
Send us the KMZ, the grid connection offer (STMG) and the land registry extracts as they are. No need to tidy them up: we start from there.
Step 2 of 5 · Processing
Every document, checked
Our firm analyses every document of your project, finding and resolving inconsistencies before the authorities flag them.
Step 3 of 5 · Parameters
Every value with its source
Area, capacity, voltage, cadastral sheet and parcels: every value carries the document and the page it comes from.
Step 4 of 5 · Design
From design to application file
We turn your ideas into a complete permit application file, ready for submission.
Step 5 of 5 · Review and signature
Reviewed and signed
Before delivery, our in-house licensed engineers review and sign every document.
Fewer errors, more traceability, better coordination, shorter lead times.

- The weeks refer to preparing the application file, not to the time the authority takes to grant the permit.
- Indicative values to be confirmed on your project: timing and price are written into the quote.
- Documents are reviewed and signed by licensed engineers before delivery.
- Your documents do not train models.
Same signature. A different method.

Frequently asked questions
What is Risma?
An engineering firm that prepares permit application files for solar, agrivoltaic and BESS projects, from site due diligence to filing, with a method that checks every value against every document. Our engineers decide, review and sign.
Who signs the documents?
Our licensed engineers, registered with their professional body, review and sign every document before delivery.
Why less than half the time?
Our method rebuilds the permitting route and checklists from the documents and checks every value across all documents: the engineers work on decisions, not on looking for information.
Which plants and permitting routes?
Ground-mounted PV, agrivoltaic, BESS, from 500 kW to utility scale; PAS, AU, PAUR, VIA and screening.
Are the documents ready for filing?
Yes, after review and signature by our engineers and your approval.
Can I send confidential documents?
Yes, we handle them with the confidentiality of an engineering firm, and they do not train models.
