What are the different types of contracts for solar PV power plants?

Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts are the most common form of contract for the construction of solar PV power plants.

What is an EPC contract for a solar power plant?

The EPC contract for any project-financed solar PV power plant will typically be held between a project company (the owner) and the EPC contractor (the contractor). It is common practice to use a standard form of contract (sometimes referred to as a “boilerplate contract”) as a template and basis for the EPC contract.

What is a megawatt-scale grid-connected solar PV power plant?

Figure 2 gives an overview of a megawatt-scale grid-connected solar PV power plant. The main components include: • Solar PV modules: These convert solar radiation directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect in a silent and clean process that requires no moving parts.

What should a solar power plant contract include?

Any required spare parts and other components not covered by individual warranties or held in the owner’s inventory. The contract should include a plant-wide performance guarantee to be calculated on a regular basis. On large-scale solar PV power plants this typically takes the form of an availability or performance ratio (PR) warranty.
