Will EPC contracts provide for the handover of a solar facility?

EPC Contracts will not provide for the handover of the solar facility to the Project Company, and the PPA will not become effective until all commissioning and reliability trialling has been successfully completed.

Should you choose an EPC contract for a solar project?

Given the significant monetary value of EPC Contracts, and the potential adverse consequences if problems occur during construction, the lowest price should not be the only factor used when selecting a Contractor. As noted earlier, an EPC Contract is one of a suite of agreements necessary to develop a solar project.

What happens if the EPC contract is uncertain?

Any uncertainty in the EPC Contract may unfortunately see the Contractor liaising directly with these third parties and possibly risking the relationship of the Project Company with key influencers, customers and long-term neighbours.

What is a bankable EPC contract?

A bankable EPC Contract is a contract with a risk allocation between the Contractor and the Project Company to the satisfaction of Lenders and their credit committees.

Who is the appropriate party in an EPC contract?

At a fundamental level, it is imperative that the appropriate party corresponds with the relevant project stakeholders. The Project Company must ensure the EPC Contract states clearly that it is the appropriate party to correspond with any government agencies or authorities and the offtaker.

How many inverters does a PV system use?

The DC cables are connected to 19 utility-scale central inverters, each rated at 4 MW ac, giving the PV system a rated AC power output of 76 MW ac, which corresponds to an inverter loading ratio of 1.32. The inverters are made in Europe in a plant that produces 250 of them each year. These inverters are not subject to import tariffs.
