4 RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AND ENERGY YIELD
The bidder shall be legally bound for the plant performance guarantee committed during the
submission of Techno - Commercial bids. Long term energy yield prediction for the defects liability,
warranty of One (1) years and O&M period of 5 years shall essentially be a key parameter in shortlisting
of Bidders. In addition to first year energy yields, the Bidders shall submit long term prediction clearly
indicating the PV module initial and annual degradations.
4.1 Reference Solar Resource
The annual energy yield of a PV plant is dependent on solar resource of the site. Bidder is required to
source solar data along with wind speeds and temperature from SOLARGIS/Meteonorm (Meteonorm
Ver.7.1.4 or higher). Owner reserves the right to technically assess the data source independently and
compare the selection with onsite measurements if available.
4.2 Benchmarks for Energy Yield Computation
Energy yield prediction essentially depends on simulations and loss assumptions. Bidder must use
PVSyst version (6.8) or latest as the simulation tool for energy yield predictions. Obsolete / Older
version is not acceptable.
The simulation must take into account all losses including AC losses up to the Solar evacuation point.
The PVSYST simulation report (in.pdf format) shall clearly indicate simulation parameter, near shading
definition, horizon shading definition, main results and main PV components used and the loss
diagram.
Assumption of losses largely depends on the past experience of the bidder in similar locations and
climatic conditions. However, the loss benchmarks presented in the below table may be maintained for
computation.
Loss Description
Shading Loss The site can be considered free from any near obstacles and horizon. The
maximum benchmark for shading loss shall be capped at 1.0%.
Incident Angle Modifier Although this shall depend on the module selected, maximum
(IAM) Loss benchmark for IAM loss is 2.7%.
Low Irradiance Low irradiance loss essentially depends on the characteristics of the
module and the intensity of the incident radiation. This value shall
depend on module selected and the solar resource data used for
simulation.
Module Temperature Loss Every ˚C rise in temperature above STC shall reduce the efficiency of PV
module.
Soiling Loss Bidders are advised to evaluate the dust profile on site and define the
O&M strategy for maintaining the soiling loss up to a maximum of 2%.
Doc.No:- Rev
Project: PRADESH
Date: 28-08-2019 Page 43
Module Quality Loss Modules are sold with a nominal peak power and a given positive
tolerance within which the actual power is guaranteed to lie.
Module Mismatch Loss Although this loss depends on Bidder’s capability to connect PV modules
of same current/ voltage profiles in series, the Bidders shall submit
manufacturer’s confirmation on uniform current/ voltage profiles for
delivered batch of modules.
DC Cable Loss Electrical resistance in the cable between the modules and the input
terminals of the inverter give rise to ohmic losses (I²R). Maximum
benchmark for this assumptions shall be 1.0 % in case of string inverter.
Inverter Performance Bidders shall take Euro efficiency or Californian efficiency @ 400 VAC for
energy yield computations. Minimum benchmark for this efficiency shall
be 98.3%.
AC Cable Loss AC losses shall occur in four areas, LV AC cabling up to metering. Bidders
are expected to provide detailed losses segregating said areas with
appropriate justifications. Maximum benchmark for this assumptions
shall be 1.5 % in case of string inverter.
Plant Unavailability Bidders are expected to offer maximum plant availability and achieve
maximum guaranteed generation.
Auxiliary Consumption Bidder shall consider the energy consumption arising due to the auxiliary
equipment such as electrical equipment and monitoring equipment in
the energy yield calculation.
4.3 Module Degradation
Bidder shall warrant linear power degradation values for 25 years as per the contract. The values shall
be supported by manufacturer’s confirmation based on past experience and track record on proposed
modules. Manufactures warranty should be guaranteed by 3rd party with certification document.
Module manufactures warranty to be guaranteed by third party insurer.
5 PROJECT WARRANTIES
The captioned allocated Project capacity of solar PV project shall be implemented through a turnkey
EPC contract including comprehensive warranties &O&M of 5 (five) years as per mentioned in other
areas of contract from the date of commissioning and commercial operations. The project warranties
shall essentially include but will not be limited to:
5.1 Defects Warranties
Not-withstanding individual component warranties, the bidder shall provide 5 (five) years
comprehensive warranty for defects in the entire solar PV plant right from PV modules, all spares and
consumables to the point of interconnection and metering. The bidder shall warrant the project free
from any and all defects including unseen and latent in all project components and workmanship.

 Following factors shall be considered for computing the target Generation and
shortfall (if any):
o Effect of any meteorological parameters shall not be considered except of
solar radiation.
o Variation of Performance Guarantee on account of Generation loss due to
grid outage.
o The measured global solar radiation of the period of the outage of the power
evacuation system shall be excluded to calculate the cumulative global
Insolation for the month.

procedure during the test period, then contractor shall compensate KTL with an
amount equivalent to the loss of generation based on sample calculation @ INR 54.90
per kWhr shortfall.
 A sample calculation of PG test for shortfall in energy generation for period from 15th
March to 12th June and LD calculation for XX KWp/Orientation/Tilt of the site is given
