Building blocks of our EPC Approach:

Project

Feasibility

Analysis

Assessing feasibility is an integral part of setting up of a Solar Plant for Grid/ Non Grid connected power generation. The

feasibility analysis covers the following analysis and assessments:

Solar Radiation Resource | Land/ Site | Commercial Assessment | Solar Technology PV / Thermal

Technical and Infrastructure | Regulatory / Legal | Institutional & Safety | Simulation and Performance

Power Plant

Design &

BOM

Power Plant Design: Forms the critical acceleration point in developing a Solar Power Generation Park. The design covers

System description, BOM, System Diagram, Various Interconnections and Layout

BOM : An indicative BOM consists a detailed set of requirements for various services like Civil work, Modules, BOS- PSU,

Cables, Power Evacuation, Interconnection, Security, DG back-up etc

BOS Selection

Balance of System: Requires individual vendor selection process for equipments like Solar Modules, Mounting System,

Inverters & transformers, Power stations, Metering Systems, Electrical cables, Junction Boxes, Control and Monitoring

Systems and relevant Systems drawings and data

EPC

Engineering, Procurement and Construction: Overall Project Execution including but not limited to Project Design -> Verify

Permits -> Planned and unplanned Procurement -> Engineering services -> Construction Services -> Performance testing ->

Commissioning -> Final acceptance -> Plant Handover.

Final Deliverable: Handover a functional solar power generating plant as per the contractual agreements

Operationand

Maintenance

O&M services include the provision of all the personnel and management systems necessary to safely commission, manage,operate, maintain, and administer the business and technical aspects of the facility The key objective is to keep our

customer's investments productive, by continuously optimizing their operations with an aim to enhance availability, output,

efficiency and plant life The program for preventive maintenance and periodic repair ensures that the plant remains in peak

condition.

Financial

Analysis &

Handover

Financial analysis: Preparation of prognosticated cash inflows and outflows, cash flow analysis, techno-economical analysis

of the EPC, Commercial Risk and Mitigation matrix.

6/13

Importance of a reliable and experienced EPC partner

Mitigation Strategy

Any EPC project is liable to face the Risks outlined in the last section due to an inexperienced EPC

partner. An experienced and reliable EPC partner plans for Risk Mitigation before the start of the

project based on his on-ground experience in similar projects.

Primary Risks

Cost overrun: escalations v/s fixed project cost.

Suppliers: integration hurdles.

Construction: resource mobilization, sub-contractor

experience, productivity.

Project management: detailed planning to tertiary

levels, leading to unforeseen risks.

Quality: poor site fabrication, selection of low cost yet

inexperienced vendors.

Procurement management: the risk of one time buy

v/s experienced buying of equipment.

Engineering: risks of re-work, miss-outs, and

inadequate man-hours.

Scheduling: tracking the project at sub levels,

monitoring vendors.

Performance: overall plant output v/s individualequipment performance, emissions,

reliability, plant availability.

An Experienced EPC Contractor

brings the mitigating factors:

Compliance to Best Practices

Pre-EPC Feasibility AnalysisAnalysis Validation by Simulation

Price Competitiveness

Technologically sound

Reliability with past experience

Product Showcase

In order to generate more and more knowledgeable experts and so as to establish a standard in

the industry, we have designed two certification courses for professionals and amateurs according

to the level of awareness and knowledge about the solar energy sector.

Certification Program for Professionals: This program has been specially designed for professionals

(electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, architects) who are well aware about the nuances of solar

energy, but havent yet mastered it. It lasts for seven days, and combines instructor lead training on solar

PV and thermal energy and offers both theoretical and practical exposure.

Certification Program for Amateurs: This course is optimized for General & Electrical Contractors,

Architects, Engineers, and Business Professionals / Consultants who are new to the solar industry. In 6 days

of hands-on training, it covers the fundamentals of PV theory and applications, system design &

estimation, and hands-on installation of typical residential & commercial rooftop systems.

Solar energy being a new focus area, the level of awareness and knowledge about the same is

limited. We conduct workshops which are conducted by solar energy professionals so as to make

the decision making team of organizations aware of the advantages of going solar. The following

topics are generally covered in such workshops:
