The EU has set a target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 55% from 1990 levels, by 2030. In its 100% Renewable Europe study, SolarPower Europe estimates that, to achieve this, an extra 870 GW of solar PV installations are required by the same year. To maintain public trust and investor confidence in PV technology, installations must be built according to high-quality standards that will ensure they run effectively and reliably over their lifecycle. Putting the best processes in place and getting the fundamentals right during the project design, engineering, procurement, and construction phases is key to driving down costs and improving reliability.
The second edition of SolarPower Europe’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Best Practice Guidelines follows the O&M Best Practice Guidelines and is produced through the Lifecycle Quality Workstream. This document Is the result of a year of intensive work by over 25 leading solar experts from 20 companies.
