Yes, here we will talk about some points you need to check before selecting your EPC Solar Plant Installer, so you won’t regret afterwards. EPC means Engineering, Procurement and Construction.

- Procurement: Planning the whole idea within the budget of client and as per his requirement done in procurement.
- Construction: Executing the ideas here with supervision, support, project planning and operation management covered in this point.
Now let’s have a look into the major points you need to check before selecting your EPC solar plant installer:
Full solar service provider
Full service is needed because any company which is not providing full service of this particular project that can cause more cost. So always find any company with total solar service solution provider from starting to end – site analysis, designing, project management, procurement, installation and commissioning everything should be covered.
Operation and maintenance
Operation and maintenance is always important, it’s a kind of after sales service. So make sure that your EPC solar plant installer also provides O&M services.
Check company’s past installation data
Past data shows the reviews from their clients and you can get to know whether they are satisfied with the service or not, it creates goodwill of the company. Without seeing anyone’s work you cannot trust them directly, you have to look into their past installation.
Ignore EPC who don’t involve you in decision making
It’s a very important point because how will you feel if you don’t get product as you want but still you have to pay. Same here EPC’s have to involve you in decision making, they need to plan and arrange the things as per your needs and budget. They cannot go alone with their expert’s decisions without involving you.
Support after installation
Does your EPC also support after the project is done? That’s what we mean to say after sales services. What if it gets damaged or stop working you need to clear all those points during the time of selection of the EPC.
Equipment details
The knowledge of equipment like Inverters, Solar Panels, Structure etc should be shared by the EPC with you as they are the experts who know all the details about it. The client should ask about the equipment, warranty and deliverables from the EPC before selecting it.
