Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an Owner's Engineer if I hire an EPC contractor?
An EPC contractor often has financial incentives to select hardware with higher margins or utilize design shortcuts that meet minimum requirements. As Owner's Engineer, Petronix Solar acts exclusively in your interest, reviewing engineering drawings, auditing cable and inverter sizing, and enforcing contract quality standards.
What does a bankable solar feasibility study include?
Our bankable feasibility report includes satellite irradiance data correlation, 3D topographical and shadow modeling, PVsyst generation forecasts (P50, P75, P90 confidence intervals), structural roof capacity assessments, utility connection analysis, and a 25-year financial model with projected IRR and payback.
How do you help commercial tenants and landlords structure solar leases?
We advise on commercial legal and tariff structures such as roof lease agreements, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), and green tariff sharing mechanisms that align incentives between property owners and commercial tenants.
Can you assist with resolving performance disputes with our EPC?
Yes. We conduct independent forensic engineering audits, analyzing SCADA data, pyranometer sensor drift, inverter clipping, and string degradation against contractual Performance Ratio (PR) commitments to provide clear technical documentation for dispute resolution.
What are the key technical requirements under DEWA Shams Dubai?
DEWA requires all modules and inverters to be selected from the DEWA Approved Equipment List, adherence to specific anti-islanding safety protocols, installation of certified bi-directional meters, and certified structural wind calculations. We guide you through every milestone.
How does factory gate quality inspection protect our investment?
Solar modules can sustain invisible internal micro-cracks during manufacturing and laminating. Our engineers perform factory witness testing including Electroluminescence (EL) imaging and flash testing before shipments leave the factory, preventing degraded modules from ever reaching your site.
