Owner’s engineering services for photovoltaic plants from Italy

In Italy, the solar energy market is experiencing exponential growth, making the construction of grid-connected photovoltaic plants a fundamental element of the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy source. In this scenario and with investment expected to rise (with other countries such as Germany or Portugal) in the coming years, the Technical Advisor has a vital role to occupy during the construction phase of the projects.

Through the Owner’s engineering service, the Technical Advisor guarantees an optimal execution of the project, verifying the detailed engineering developed by the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) and supervising the development of the work to ensure that it is in accordance with the design delivered and the technical requirements contracted by the client, complying with local regulations and taking into consideration the particularities of the project.

During the construction phase, the technical advisor's main objective will consist of defending the interests of the property, always ensuring compliance with the provisions of the EPC Contract, the applicable regulations and market quality standards, both for the photovoltaic installation itself and for the evacuation systems and the lines or the substations that comprise it.

The service has a multidisciplinary engineering team (Electrical, Civil, Mechanical and Structural) with extensive experience, able to guide the Property in the various technical challenges that arise during the construction such as the inappropriate choice of the tracker taking into consideration the wind speeds in each location or the incorrect design of the inverters or the ground network of the facilities.

The property engineering service enables early identification and the mitigation of these risks, and it is crucial to ensure that the facility achieves design output and is executed on schedule.

Due to the current context of the solar energy boom in Italy, it is advisable to request the Owner’s Engineering service at least 4 months in advance. The high demand for this type of service makes the availability of technical advisors difficult, so anticipating is essential to ensure the collaboration of an experimented Technical Advisor.

To date, Vector Renewables has participated in more than 3,000 projects, which has allowed us to position ourselves as one of the most relevant independent advisors in the renewable energy sector worldwide.
