independent engineering services

Prior to investing in any solar project, financial institutions and investors intend to conduct thorough assessment of various aspects of their investments.

From technical, legal to the commercial viability of the project, investors seek complete due diligence to mitigate risks and protect their interests. The technical due diligence is the most critical aspect which should be diligently looked into from concept to design, construction and O&M period of the project.
