At One Hub Energy, we assist our customers with the direct purchase of this equipment, helping to reduce construction costs.

Introduction

Modules currently account for about 25% of the total construction cost of a PV plant. If inverters and solar trackers are taken into account, this percentage exceeds 50%. At One Hub Energy, we assist our customers with the direct purchase of this equipment, helping to reduce construction costs. We also ensure that, under the BOS (Balance of System) contract conditions, the service provider is responsible for the plant's performance guarantees, as well as for the O&M (Operations and Maintenance) services of this equipment.

Our dedicated procurement advisory team can help you achieve this by leveraging our close relationships with leading PV equipment manufacturers, our in-depth technical knowledge and our extensive experience in the construction and commissioning of PV projects.

We refine requirements and technical specifications, prepare tenders and manage procurement processes, while maintaining close relationships with leading PV equipment manufacturers. We help customers define specific needs and technical specifications to identify the most suitable PV equipment at the best possible cost. In addition, we support customers in negotiating supply contracts and offer quality control services at origin and destination, along with assistance during factory acceptance testing (FAT), to ensure equipment quality.
