This document is a checklist for collecting data about potential photovoltaic (PV) plant locations. It requests general information about the location, site details like GPS coordinates and pictures, internet connectivity details, daily and yearly energy consumption data, customer requirements for the plant like whether it will be off-grid or grid-connected, and electrical conditions at the site like voltage, meter type, and existing grid connection capabilities. The checklist aims to gather all relevant technical specifications for evaluating a site's suitability for a PV power generation installation.
