Solar PV modules

A photovoltaic module is a packaged interconnected assembly of photovoltaic cells, which

converts sunlight into electricity. SSPL manufactures Solar PV modules of the highest quality.

The detailed module technical specifications will be available in the Module Data Sheet which

can be found at http://www.solarsemiconductor.com/asia/ssi-m6.pdf.

This project proposes to use either Solar Semiconductor modules or any other equivalent

modules.

Rest of the BOS

SSPL has a very strong supply chain management and hence has strategic partnerships with the

vendors of the major components used in the Solar PV Power Plant. An indicative BOM for the

rest for the Plant is as below.

12

Energy Output Guarantee

SSPL will issue the Energy Guarantee Certificate to the CUSTOMER. The annual energy output

estimated for the first year is 51 Lakhs units per annum for 3 MWp for single axis tracker system.

The annual degradation factor is 1%. The Energy output Guarantee Certificate is supported

through a Performance Bank Guarantee based on the Performance ratio and not on absolute

energy generation. The Energy Output Guarantee Certificate is provided only if Solar

Semiconductor executes the AMC contract. This aspect is covered in detail in the section on

Warranty.

Project Schedule The schedule of the project is dependent upon the date of signing of the contract. A sample

PERT chart for the EPR services is given below. The exact schedule for this project will have to be

confirmed at the placement of the order.

The schedule for REC services and PPA arrangement can be discussed at the time of signing the

contract. These are highly dependent on State and Central Government bodies/utilities.

Price and Payment Terms

The prices, payment and delivery terms shall be as follows subject to a satisfactory agreement

between the parties to be laid down in the DESIGN, Engineering, Procurement and Construction

Agreement.

Price

The price of the project for 3 MWp Single Axis Tracker system is INR 23.25 Crores (INR 7.75

Crores per MWp). All the applicable taxes and duties are extra at actuals.

This is under the assumption that CUSTOMER submits the C form. In case C Form is not available

with CUSTOMER, the applicable tax will be extra. We need to take a letter from MNRE to avail

the Concessional Customs duty exemption.

b) 50% against irrevocable 30 days LC with provision of partial payments:

a. 45% of PO/Invoice Value against delivery of Material at site

b. 5% of Project value against the Installation and Commissioning

Terms & Conditions

a. The detailed analysis report for the structure design and load bearing capacity will be

provided specific to the site after signing the EPC contract and after submission of

the land survey reports by the CUSTOMER to Solar Semiconductor.

15

b. A detailed energy output report and subsequently the energy output guarantee

certificate will be provided after signing the EPC Contract. The energy output

guarantee is subject to the AMC contract being provided to Solar Semiconductor.

c. All major equipments’ viz inverters, modules, strings, monitoring systems etc… will

be covered under standard manufacturers’ warranty and not covered under the

AMC.

d. Uninterrupted power supply and water to be provided at site to Solar Semiconductor

during construction period.

The deliverables against the above mentioned timelines will be elaborated in the Design,

Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract

Warranties

System Warranty

Solar Semiconductor gives a System Warranty for 5 years. This is applicable only if Solar

Semiconductor performs the AMC contract for the project. The detailed Warranty terms will be

given in the Warranty Documents at the time of signing the contract.

Modules Warranty

Solar Semiconductor Modules come with a 5 year Warranty for the defects in workmanship and

materials for the Product. Also, SSPL modules come with 25 year Warranty for power output

(the first 10 years at 90% minimum of rated power output and the remaining 15 years at 80%

minimum of rated power output). The detailed Warranty terms will be given in the Warranty

Documents at the time of signing the contract.

Balance Of System

The Balance of the System is covered under respective Manufacturers’ Warranty. This warranty

is on a back-to-back basis from the vendors. This BOS Warranty is applicable only if Solar

Semiconductor performs the AMC contract for the project. The detailed Warranty terms will be

given in the Warranty Documents at the time of signing the contract.

16

Energy Output: Performance Bank Guarantee

Solar Semiconductor gives a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) for the Energy output

Guarantee. The PBG amount will be based on the “Performance Ratio” based on the system

configuration selected. This PBG is offered and applicable only if Solar Semiconductor performs

the AMC contract for the project. The details of the PBG terms will be given in the Energy

Output Guarantee Document at the time of signing the contract.

EPC COMPANY

About Solar Semiconductor

Solar Semiconductor Pvt Ltd. (SSPL) was incorporated in April 2006 to design, develop,

manufacture and market a variety of solar photovoltaic (“PV”) products and solutions. High

quality PV modules offered by Solar Semiconductor provide reliable, environment friendly and

commercially viable electric power for residential, commercial, industrial and public utility

applications in multifarious markets worldwide.

Our manufacturing facilities in India are rated at approximately 200MW of annual capacity. In

addition, Solar Semiconductor Inc. (SSI) is committed to locating a manufacturing facility in the

United States. That facility’s initial capacity is planned at over 60MW.
