10 Critical Mistakes to Avoid in Solar EPC Pre-Feasibility Studies

Solar EPC

A pre-feasibility study assesses the technical, financial, and regulatory aspects before installation, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective transition to solar energy. Businesses risk inefficiencies, unexpected costs, and compliance issues without a proper study.

With over 75+ years of expertise in electromechanical solutions, VEMC is a leader in the industry, offering end-to-end solar EPC services. As one of the top solar EPC companies in Mumbai, we ensure risk-free and optimised solar installations through detailed pre-feasibility studies.

This blog will cover some of the most crucial mistakes to avoid in solar EPC pre-feasibility studies.

  • Inaccurate Solar Potential Assessment: One common mistake is overestimating or underestimating a site’s solar potential, leading to inefficiencies. 

At VEMC, we use advanced assessments to provide precise evaluations, ensuring that your solar photovoltaic module placement maximises energy generation.

  • Ignoring Rooftop Structural Integrity: Many businesses install solar systems without evaluating whether their rooftop can handle the additional load. 

However, our team conducts a detailed structural analysis to ensure that rooftops can safely accommodate solar PV modules, avoiding future risks.

  • Poor Electrical Load Analysis: Failing to analyse the facility’s electrical demand leads to mismatched system sizes, resulting in energy wastage or shortages. 

Hence, we perform in-depth electrical load assessments to design a system that aligns perfectly with your energy needs, improving efficiency and cost savings.

  • Neglecting Compliance Requirements: Non-compliance with government policies and regulations can lead to project delays, fines, or system shutdowns.

As experienced solar EPC companies in Mumbai, we ensure your project meets all local and national regulatory requirements, avoiding unnecessary roadblocks.

  • Incorrect Selection of Solar Modules and Inverters: Choosing substandard solar photovoltaic modules or mismatched inverters can lead to poor performance and reduced lifespan.

This is why we source high-quality, tier-1 solar PV modules and inverters suited to your project’s needs, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.

  • Inadequate Space Utilisation Planning: Inefficient panel placement reduces potential energy generation and increases costs.

Our experts optimise panel layouts for maximum efficiency while minimising space requirements, allowing for better scalability.

  • Underestimating Maintenance Requirements: Lack of maintenance planning can lead to system inefficiencies and unexpected downtimes.

We provide comprehensive solar EPC services, including proactive maintenance plans to ensure optimal performance throughout the system’s lifespan.

  • Miscalculating Financial Estimates: Improper financial calculations can lead to unrealistic return expectations and budget overruns.

VEMC delivers precise financial modelling, helping businesses make informed decisions about their investment in solar energy.

  • Lack of Risk Assessment: Unaccounted risks like weather conditions, grid compatibility, and supply chain issues can derail a project.

Our team identifies and mitigates potential risks through strategic planning and expert execution.

  • Overlooking Backup and Energy Storage Needs: Without energy storage, businesses may struggle with power reliability during outages or low solar generation periods.

We integrate energy storage solutions to ensure uninterrupted power supply, maximising system reliability.
