Best Practices in Solar Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)

This session was recorded as part of The smarter E Industry Days that took place July 21–23, 2021. SolarPower Europe will present its Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) Best Practice Guidelines Version 1.0. This report builds on the knowledge accumulated over the years from developing the O&M and Asset Management Best Practice Guidelines. In the panel discussion, we will bring together experts from different segments of the value chain, including EPC and O&M to explore why EPC best practices are crucial for the long-term health of solar power plants, how the Guidelines will help to achieve this, and cast an eye towards future challenges in EPC.
