SOLAR POWER PLANT Photovoltaic (PV) systems represent a renewable energy that is

well established and is using a technology that is reliable,

environmentally sound and has the advantage of a long lifetime if

compared to others within the renewable energy sector.

With high initial capital costs and subsequent low operation and

maintenance costs it requires that the plants are well engineered

to offset the high investment.

The economic viability of a solar plant over its lifetime is

conditional to a large part on the initial considerations of an

appropriate engineering design. Appropriate land development

and an adequate storm water drainage system are fundamental.

Selection and sizing of key structural and electrical components

in conjunction with good electrical installation standards will

make a difference when it comes to long-term system

performance.

Scope of Services

Lastly it is important to ensure adequate access to the functional control and maintenance of solar

installations.

Feed-in tariffs are contractually agreed with the utilities company for a pre-determined timeframe during

which the investment return can be ensured, under the condition that O&M cost escalation is within the

assumed range. Equipment replacement costs and labor costs escalation will always be based on

assumptions with the risk being carried by the project owner.

Design Plus Build Co., Ltd. is providing expert knowledge for the solar plant sector which will ensure that

your investment can bring the return calculated in your initial due diligence plan.

P r o j e c t M a n a g e m e n t

With the EPC contractor mobilizing to the project site the project management consultant’s responsibility

is for engineering design review, site supervision and commissioning of the project. The project objectives

will be translated into action by working directly with the EPC contractor and their related sub-contractors.

The 2 phases of project management include design review and construction management.

Design review for equipment, schedules, civil works, installation and erection, testing and commissioning

is provided throughout the construction phase of the project.

Performing construction management requires working with all parties to help develop the project and

deliver the project on- time and within the quality standards set forth in the contract. Payment schedules

and assess work completion versus agreed contractual obligations is required to be reviewed.
