6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Contract Loopholes]
Should solar PV projects be aligned with the PPA?
should be aligned with the PPA. Solar PV power plant projects generate revenue by selling power. How power is sold to the end users or an intermediary depends mainly on the power sector structure (vertically integrated or deregulated) and the regulatory framework that governs PV projects.
Are solar PV projects suited to project financing?
Solar PV projects have historically been well suited to project financing because many sell power at a fixed tariff (as opposed to a fluctuating price on a merchant market) and often on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the off-taker purchases whatever volume of power is produced, thus mitigating both price and volume risk.
What are the different types of contracts for solar PV power plants?
Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts are the most common form of contract for the construction of solar PV power plants.
How can a capital grant help a solar PV project?
Capital grants awarded through a tender or application process have also helped support solar PV projects, especially in the early stages of PV power commercialization when its costs were very high, the awareness of its characteristics limited, and the perceived risks high.
How does a developer's cost of financing affect a solar PV project?
A developer’s cost of financing has become a critical distinguishing factor for success as the solar PV market becomes increasingly competitive. Total capital costs also include the cost of land and support infrastructure, such as roads and drainage, as well as the project company’s start-up costs.
Are financial incentives still required for solar PV projects?
While the cost per kWh of solar PV power has come down dramatically and continues to fall, in most cases direct or indirect financial incentives are still required in order to increase the commercial attractiveness of solar PV projects so that there is sufficient investment in new projects to meet national goals for renewable energy production.
