EPC Services

EPCF projects are those in which the client entrusts Symtech Solar and its Partners as contractors with the complete execution of the work, from engineering design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning and even the finance.   The operation and maintenance is often included as part of the project during the warranty period and, optionally, the lifetime of the installation.

EPC projects that are also known as ‘turnkey’ and as the contractor assumes responsibility for engineering services, procurement of materials, hiring of teams and materials, and execution of the work, among other tasks, to deliver the project ready to be operated by the client by a given deadline and with a number of guarantees.

We assist customers seeking to use solar power and battery storage systems from the planning stage through the entire operational life of the project. This often includes providing customers with a complete financial return and cash flow analysis of the solar or solar + storage project including providing advisory services that help customers navigate all government policy issues, land procurement issues, tax benefits, subsidies and regulatory approvals to successfully install the renewable energy plants.

Overall project execution often includes but is not limited to the following:

• Project Design
• Permit Verification
• Planned and Unplanned Procurement
• Engineering Services
• Construction Services
• Integration and Interconnection
• Performance Testing
• Commissioning
• Final Acceptance
• Plant Handover

Partner Profiles:

Symtech Solar Group is a global renewable energy company specializing in photovoltaic kits and renewable energy solutions. Revolutionizing the way solar energy systems are delivered, Symtech Solar has created multiple product lines designed for specific solar energy installations and applications, including, on-grid, off-grid and hybrid solar kits.  The use of PV Kits designed by Symtech Solar yields cost and time savings by offering users an ‘all in one’ (packaged) product, thus eliminating the need for the customer to deal with multiple manufacturers and suppliers.  Their innovative packaging solution (all in a box) offers clients an easier and faster way to carry out their solar energy businesses. Further, having personally engineered each Solar Kit ensures compatibility of the components, which are manufactured from various factory partners. Symtech Solar also provides full custom solar and battery solutions for larger and or specialized projects by working directly with clients to provide them with a similar all-in-one solution but based upon shipping container volumes.
