4. Module 1: Pre Feasibility & Project Allocation Assistance
Land Selection:
Gensol ranks the land parcels available on the basis of parameters affecting EPC Costs and Revenues from the project:
• Land - The expected generation calculated should be based on dependable data
- The soil type would determine the cost of the Module Mounting Structure
- The shape of the land would decide the area required per MW of installation
• Substation - The Substation should not be very far from the land as it would result in cost escalation for the
evacuation infrastructure and greater transmission loss
- The Substation should have a high Grid Uptime
- The Substation should have a provision of evacuation of Solar Power through Independent Feeder
• Others - Availability of Construction Power, Water and Labor
- The Terrain and Ease of Access to the Site
Bid Assistance
• Carrying out Comprehensive Analysis for:
• Choice of Technology
• Choice of EPC Contractor
• Probability and Provision for Low Cost Funding
• Arriving at the Bidding Tariff and Bidding Capacity at which the Project Developer would be assured of acceptable returns. Alternately,
modeling of financial returns of the Renewable Energy Certificate route.
• Preparation of Request for Submission / REC Registration Documents
