Balance of System (BoS) components encompasses all the components of the project except the solar PV modules. The solar PV modules comprise of the major share on project expenditure sheet, whereas the BoS components cost approximately 40% of the total project costs.

The significance of procuring the most apt technology for a project has often overshadowed the importance of BoS components, quality of BoS components are often sacrificed for meeting budgetary requirements by EPCs and Developers, and therefore the need to perform factory level inspection of these components is easily overlooked. This practice has at times costed heavily in the long run, often leading to catastrophic plant failure.

Therefore, it is important to attribute equal importance to the principal components of the plant and ensure that factory level inspection is done to ensure quality checks at various stages from checking of raw material, manufacturing processes, till the product is ready for dispatch.

SgurrEnergy’s seasoned engineers are highly competent in conducting inspection for BoS components and ensure that high-grade products meeting industrial standards are manufactured. We have helped manufacturers streamline their manufacturing by control of process parameters for consistently producing high quality products that meets the industry quality standards.

Our
Proficiency –
Your Benefits

We have assessed over 5GW of BoS components for solar PV projects, providing adherence to the toughest quality assurance programs and thereby inspiring confidence in our clients.

We provide material pre-dispatch clearance certificate (MDCC) for all BoS components after meticulous verification of the test results at the manufacturing facility against the results of the tests conducted on field.

We have a self-regulated vendor assessment and inspection process that is in line with the industry norm and standard.

We maintain a pre-qualified vendors list which is up to date and recognised by leading developers and EPC contractors.

We also conduct root cause analysis of BoS components at the field to determine the causes of failure to eradicate any further possibility for accidents, downtime or component failure.

A comprehensive and rigorous testing plan inclusive of all essential checks, quality measures ensures component longevity and prevents failure.

Our Services

To ensure the material quality prior to dispatch, we assist Developers / EPCs by witnessing BoS component testing at OEM place. The findings from the testing are captured in a report which is referred to as a compliance document for clearing the material dispatch to site

Factory Audits

We conduct factory audit of various manufacturing facilities prior to approval of equipment/ component for the project. The audit is intended to verify compliances to quality, health, safety and environmental and social responsibility requirements

After an audit, SgurrEnergy issues an approval to the vendor for the specific component such as Transformers, Inverters and HT Switchgear panels with corrective measures required if any

Inspection at OEM

SgurrEnergy deputes experienced engineers for the inspection of capital components like Module Mounting Structure (MMS), Inverter duty transformers, LV/MV panels, Inverters, String monitoring box, SCADA, EHV Switchyard equipment and materials at original equipment manufacturers (OEM) place

We have stringent Testing and quality assurance programs at OEM place to maintain equipment standards as per project specifications and design requirements

SgurrEnergy would specify the criteria of inspection as per internal process and would ask manufacturer to perform the same for quality assurance

Upon successful completion of testing and quality inspection, SgurrEnergy prepares the inspection report indicating the critical observation during the inspection and essential compliance required from material/equipment manufacturer before dispatch

Material Dispatch Clearance Certificate

SgurrEnergy upon successful review of approved QAP, GTP and drawings along with RMTC, inspection reports, calibration reports of testing equipment and compliances from the manufacturer issues material dispatch clearance certificate (MDCC)

SgurrEnergy reviews all the documents highlighted above and test reports of inspection for confirming the technical compliances of equipment under test with respect to approved QAP, GTP and Drawings ensures the material being delivered on site is quality compliant and will help EPC and client to implement the project as per approved specifications
