nt technical advisor may witness or conduct their own tests. For smaller solar systems, it may be feasib e for the contractor to test down to each individual string. For larger sites, he contractor may test a sample from each type of component. They may also use drone surveys covering the entire system to compl
A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a formal bid document to ask vendors to provide proposals for desired projects, as required by many public agencies (federal, state, local). A solar RFP outlines the photovoltaic (PV) product or service requirements, the contract terms, and bidding process.
EPA developed a solar RFP document checklist to keep track of key components, such as scope and deliverables, specific requirements, and RFP submission process and key dates.
