Beyond core skills, what can really contribute to a high quality solar power plant at competitive cost is a good set of industry partnerships.
EPCs having partnerships with top tier component vendors can ensure the supply of best quality components. High quality EPCs will have access to large and cost-effective supply arrangements with leading module, inverter and racking suppliers, and other balance of system components.
EPCs that have good partnership with logistics providers can ensure that there are not procurement delays.
