PROJECT STAGES
IDENTIFICATION OF SITE
Description
The first step in project design and development is the site identification. This is undertaken by checking available
sites with the local patwari at a place with suitable irradiation, access and evacuation infrastructure. The availability
status and category of land are checked with patwari. At this stage a macro assessment of solar irradiation is
required. In case the land is private its land categorization and willingness of the owner to sell the land must also be
checked.

SOLAR INSOLATION AND SHADOW ASSESSMENT
Description
Solar radiation assessment is a critical activity for setting up Solar projects. The quality of the resource also impacts
the type of technology which may be used at a specific place for solar power generation. A micro level of assessment
is required at this stage. This activity shall assess solar resource attractiveness of the proposed site. This shall
include assessment of parameters like
Global Horizontal Solar Radiation
Diffused Horizontal Solar Radiation
Direct Normal Solar Radiation
Wind Speed/Direction
Rain Accumulation
Air Temperature
Atmospheric Pressure (SLP) and
Relative Humidity.

recommended that a technology having an established track record and credible technology providers need to be
selected. It is also required that technology standards and specifications across the globe and in local context be
adhered to. Thus international electrical code for PV and grid tie inverters and local specifications of MNRE/Solar
Energy Centre (SEC) must be checked and adhered to. The technology provider chosen must provide equipment
which conforms to IEC standards for solar PV modules and inverters. The use of specific PV DC cables is also
recommended.
FINANCIAL PREFEASIBILITY
Description
Assessment of the project cost, investment requirement, cash flow projections & expected return and financial
viability of the project is critical. The prefeasibility assessment and report shall cover the risk return assessment for
the project and map the key macro risks and barriers likely to impact the viability of the project from design,
implementation to operation. At the macro level assessment of following must be made:
Development Cost
Engineering Cost
Land Cost
Equipment Cost
Construction Cost
Operational Cost
Revenue
Benefits/Incentives
Funds Availability
Cash Flow
Returns
However, this guide makes an effort to anticipate and address the concerns of projects in emerging economies. In
doing so, the guidebook covers the key three themes:
1. Optimum power plant design: A key project development challenge is to design a PV power plant that is
optimally balanced in terms of cost and performance for a specific site.
2. Project implementation: Achieving project completion on time and within budget with a power plant that operates
efficiently and reliably, and generates the expected energy and revenue, is another key concern for developers. Key
aspects of project implementation include: permits and licensing, selection and contracting of the Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) company, power plant construction, and operations and maintenance (O&M).
3. Commercial and financing aspects: PV regulatory frameworks and specific types of incentives/support
mechanisms for the development of PV projects, such as preferential tariffs and other direct and indirect financial
supports, have an important impact on the financial viability of the project, as they affect the revenue stream. Power
Purchase Agreements (PPAs) specify the terms under which the off-taker purchases the power produced by the PV
plant this is the most important document to obtain financing.
