”“The objective of conducting Pre Feasibility Analysis is to be able understand the expected generation and costs expected from the Solar PV Power Project to arrive at acceptable rate of returns from the project.

Owner’s Engineer

Module 1: Pre Feasibility & Project Allocation AssistanceLand 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
