HelioPower pre construction consulting is focused on understanding your unique site, energy performance, financial objectives and location factors.  Whether in the United States or worldwide, our team provides in depth solar design and engineering services to ensure your project is delivered on time, on budget and generates maximum energy and financial returns.

Design and Engineering Services

Solar power plant design and engineering development objectives typically are divided into three phases:  site assessment, project design and full life-cycle project cost, financial returns and investment analysis.
 
Site Assessment
To yield a full understanding of the project site, client objectives and interconnection requirements, this phase generally includes Phase I development objectives typically include pre-site analysis and planning, technology assessment and selection, utility interconnection requirements, Energy RFP & bid requirements and a preliminary financial model.

Project Design
In Phase II development deliverables typically include energy markets report, facility gap analysis, regional distribution schema, preliminary bill of materials, preliminary T&D and interconnect plan, preliminary EPC plan, evaluate alternate off-taker potential and a detailed financial model with sensitivity analysis for go/no-go decision.

Full Lifecycle Project Cost, Financial Returns and Investment Analysis
Deliverables for Phase III create a complete project plan. They include finalize project scale, final technology selection and engineering, final bill of materials, final procurement and construction plan, final operations and maintenance plan, prepare construction financing proposal, prepare tax equity investor IM and prepare cash equity IM (if necessary).

Financial Services

Few teams within the solar industry combine decades of solar industry experience with worldwide project development acumen, financial sector experience and engineering process.  The HelioPower management team brings these strengths together for the completion of your solar power project.  No area is as critical as the financial blueprint of your solar project, mapped out from inception to future revenue generation.  HelioPower projects are consistently bankable, with a proven track record of financing success with equity and debt finance partners.

HelioPower is a proven team, ready to assist you in pre construction, construction and post construction financial modeling and execution. These HelioPower solar financing services typically include investment roadmap creation, project pro forma, negotiate offtaker contract, contract structuring, bridge financing, manage/qualify equity and debt lenders, project costing, asset management including solar output monitoring and solar power purchase agreement (SPPA) program set up and billing, and overall return on investment (ROI) and investment reports.

Project Management

HelioPower offers turnkey engineering procurement and construction (EPC) services for solar photovoltaic power plants.  When applicable, HelioPower will utilize our EPC expertise to help you select an EPC partner to successfully design, procure and build your solar power plant.  Selecting the right EPC partner is critical to your project’s success.  Many of the risk factors in selecting an EPC partner are obvious, but the more subtle or harder to identify risk factors when analyzing an EPC are where we offer value to your organization.  Project management deliverables are applicable to pre construction and construction phases.

Pre-Construction
To prepare for onsite construction, our services typically include design and engineering oversight, sub-contractor request for qualifications (RFQs), contractor capability analysis and selection recommendations, workforce training and education, contracts, bills of material, purchase orders, logistics plan, construction plan, test plan and permitting and interconnection submittals.

Construction
During construction, HelioPower development services are aimed at meeting both the budget and timeline objectives with onsite supervision and detailed construction support. These services typically include construction and project management, on-site contractor oversight, and safety program Implementation.

During this phase procurement experience and reach is critical to the construction financial success of the project.  HelioPower has worldwide purchasing experience with direct manufacturing relationships. These proven relationships result in a wide selection of products and technology, experienced product comparison analysis and project applicability, competitive product pricing and product delivery schedule assurance.

Quality Control and Assurance

HelioPower offers quality control/quality assurance services to provide comprehensive quality control for your project, minimizing risk for your project investors. 

These services typically include process documentation and management,
equipment testing and inspection, development and commissioning of test procedures, implement commissioning procedures, remote system monitoring and diagnostics, development and initiation of operation and maintenance (O&M) program, energy performance measuring including minimum guarantee generation (MGG) / power generation verification, project documentation, operations and maintenance manuals for conformance to stated project goals and deadlines and staff training. 

Once all documentation and performance testing is in place, HelioPower will work with you to insure a smooth turnover of the solar power plant to your firm.
