EPC - Engineering, Procurement and Construction
What is an EPC Contractor?

The acronym EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction, and in the field of photovoltaics, it refers to the entity responsible for everything related to the design (Engineering), procurement (Procurement), and construction (Construction) phases of a photovoltaic plant, as well as its maintenance and delivery. In other words, the EPC Contractor in photovoltaics is the entity responsible for delivering a turnkey photovoltaic plant.

Advantages of turning to an EPC Contractor

Turning to an EPC Contractor in the photovoltaic sector can bring numerous advantages. Firstly, the EPC Contractor is a specialized and qualified entity capable of managing and ensuring the execution of workmanship, providing greater security and reliability in the installation of the plant. Additionally, with its experience and expertise, the EPC Contractor can oversee the entire project from start to finish, simplifying the work for the contracting company and allowing all aspects of the work to be included in a single contract for easier monitoring. Finally, the EPC Contractor can guarantee adherence to established timelines and costs, providing greater transparency and clarity regarding the investment to be made..

The tasks of the EPC:
  • • Analysis of customer needs and assessment of the most appropriate solutions for the installation of the photovoltaic system;
  • • Design of the photovoltaic system, including the specification of photovoltaic modules, inverters, and other components necessary for the installation;
  • • Procurement of materials needed for the implementation of the photovoltaic system, including modules, inverters, accessory components, and support structures;
  • • Construction of the photovoltaic system, including the installation of modules, inverters, and other components, as well as connection to the electrical grid;
  • • Verification of the operation of the photovoltaic system and training of personnel responsible for the management and maintenance of the system;
  • • Provision of after-sales assistance, with the ability to intervene in case of faults or malfunctions of the photovoltaic system.
REVAMPING

Through Revamping, we modernize, modify, and improve dated photovoltaic systems. We regenerate some components or the entire system, thereby enhancing performance and energy production.

Modernization

The photovoltaic system, despite having an average lifespan of almost 30 years, may experience issues of deterioration and malfunction in some parts, caused by poor quality materials, weather conditions, and unforeseen breakages. Additionally, outdated design choices can negatively impact the proper functioning of the system, such as areas with extreme shading, low solar radiation, or poor exposure. Furthermore, the continuous evolution of the photovoltaic industry leads to the obsolescence of certain elements that are no longer compliant, necessitating their modernization to ensure the proper functioning of the system. However, with proper maintenance and the update of obsolete parts, it is possible to ensure a long life and high efficiency for the photovoltaic system.

What is Revamping?

The revamping of photovoltaic plants is a process that involves a series of interventions that go beyond the simple regeneration of solar panels. In fact, the Operator classifies interventions as "significant" and "non-significant." "Significant" interventions include the replacement, removal, and new installation of main components such as photovoltaic modules and inverters, partial movement of modules, modification of the grid connection regime, and changes to the identification code of the connection point to the grid. However, these interventions cannot increase the nominal power of the plant by more than 5% for systems with power up to 20 kW or more than 1% for those with power exceeding 20 kW.

The interventions

The "significant" interventions include the replacement, removal, and new installation of the main components, namely the modules and inverters, partial movement of the modules, modification of the power supply regime to the grid, or a change in the identification code of the connection point to the grid. The "non-significant" interventions, on the other hand, involve moving inverters and minor electrical components, replacing minor electrical parts such as wiring, and interventions on support structures, such as roofs or truss structures that house photovoltaic modules.

Advantages

Photovoltaic revamping can be justified in many different cases. In addition to the natural decline in the performance of the modules, there may be initial design problems to correct, as well as the need to comply with increasingly stringent plant safety standards. Furthermore, the importance of revamping is now linked to the need to digitize assets, creating a unique performance monitoring platform that integrates energy consumption and production data. This also allows for active and remote management of the asset in terms of preventive maintenance. Thanks to improved post-intervention production, the return on investment can occur in a short period, typically around 2 or 3 years. Revamping represents another step towards achieving the goals of the European "Green Deal," the socio-economic program defined by the Union to make the Old Continent's economy more sustainable without further land occupation.

REPOWERING

Repowering involves, without acting on the entire plant, interventions for the energy enhancement of the system and modification of its components.

Necessary Interventions

The first and main advantage of repowering is the increased productivity of the renewable energy production plant, translating into a return on investment in economic terms. However, repowering is particularly important because it addresses one of the main challenges of renewables, namely the scarcity of new sites suitable for hosting new plants, especially in a densely populated country like Italy. Repowering overcomes this difficulty, allowing for a more effective achievement of decarbonization goals by 2030. According to Agici, the modernization of renewable plants would enable Italy to achieve nearly half of the renewable goals outlined in the PNIEC by 2030, without consuming new land

What does it consist of

Repowering is an intervention that involves the partial or total upgrade of modules, inverters, and electrical connections, with the aim of increasing the nominal power and annual production of a plant. Thanks to the technological evolution of solar panels, whose average efficiency has increased from 14% in 2006 to almost 20% currently (source AGICI), photovoltaic repowering is a very effective solution. By replacing old panels with the latest generation ones, solar production in Italy could be increased by over 40% without the need for additional land occupation.

The monitoring

The installation of a software-based management and monitoring system is a significant addition during the repowering process of a photovoltaic system. This type of system is often absent in older and less sophisticated photovoltaic systems but allows for constant and accurate monitoring of energy production, detection of malfunctions, and immediate notification of any faults. It also offers a wide range of functionalities, such as monitoring the temperature of photovoltaic modules, solar irradiance, and the output voltage of the inverter. This information enables important decisions regarding preventive maintenance of the system and checking the condition of cables and connections. It helps optimize the efficiency of the system, prevent malfunctions and faults, reduce operational costs, and maximize energy production
