Module, inverter and tracker consultancy

Project developers, financial institutions, investors in or purchasers of a solar technology company, solar manufacturers – all stakeholders have a vested interest in a technical due diligence review of a specific solar device model.

Interconnection

Designing the electrical connection system for a solar project, deciding how and where to connect it to the grid and assessing its potential impact on the electrical transmission network are challenging tasks for many developers.

Vendor inspection

Whenever a solar project and its components are inspected – at any stage from fabrication to periodic monitoring on site or investigation of damage – the key benefit for project developers, site owners or investors is the objectivity of an independent evaluation and the information the inspection report reveals.

Construction monitoring

An independent analysis of what progress has been made in construction of a renewable energy project is vital – not only to check if work is going to schedule but also to verify the validity of requests for payment from the construction company or sub-suppliers.
