Putting Up a MW Scale Solar Power Plant…

Take Help from Experts @ Solar Mango

If you are planning to put up a solar plant but are new to this sector, you will need Expert Assistance to ensure that you install the highest quality solar power plant at the optimal costs.
The Solar Mango expert team can help you get there.

Why Expert Assistance is required?

Putting up a MW scale solar power plant can be a challenge for individuals new to the solar sector. Many times, doing it yourself can lead to costly mistakes:

  • Choosing the wrong EPC can result in a poorly performing plant, resulting in crores of losses over a 25 year period.
  • Selecting wrong components may lead to the reduction of overall efficiency of power plant by 3-5% (A loss of over Rs.2 Crores for 25 years)

Who Will Benefit from this Service?

This service will be specifically beneficial to those exploring grid-connected solar power plants of capacities 3 MW and higher:

  • Companies, entrepreneurs or individuals new to the solar power sector but keen on setting up a grid-connected solar power plant.
  • Companies that have already signed a PPA or on the verge of signing a PPA for solar power plant and keen on EPC selection

Solar Mango has already assisted many small and medium scale MW solar projects they and have attained excellent benefits.

  • Solar Mango will provide hands-on assistance to you in understanding the various parameters based on which the EPC needs to be selected, and will also provide you with a shortlist of EPCs based on our database.
Interact with EPCs to select most suitable one
Arrive at best possible cost with ideal EPC
Oversight on component selection by EPC
Selection of key components through continuous engagement with EPC
Detailed guidelines on warranties and terms of each component manufacturer
Overseeing power plant development (Owner’s Engineer)
  • This is done by Solar Mango’s external technical experts who will directly deal with the client. Solar Mango can however identify the right expert.
  • The Owner’s Engineer (OE) does an on-site supervision of the solar power plant construction by the EPC by having an engineer located on the premises during the entire solar power plant construction. The OE sends regular reports to the client on progress.
  • The OE role is optional for small solar power plants, especially if we are confident about the quality of the EPC

 

Approach
  • On the ground research by Solar Mango team
  • Extensive interactions with EPCs
  • Interactions with banks and financing community
  • Interactions with component vendors – esp modules, inverters and mounting structures
  • Continuous engagement with and reporting to the client
Being with You All the Way
  • Solar Mango will work with the client from the acceptance of this proposal until the day when the first unit of electricity is exported to the grid.
  • Where needed by the client, the Solar Mango team can also assist the client during the first few months of the solar power plant operations in monitoring the progress of the power plant and analyzing the data.
