Secretary Departments' Approval

• In compliance with the Laws of Barbados, a PV Licence from the Ministry of Energy is mandatory. Additionally, approvals from the Government Electrical Engineering Department (GEED) and the Barbados Light and Power Company Limited (BL&P) are also required.
• Solar Watt Systems will handle the submission of all Applications on behalf of the Client, but necessary supporting documents must be provided by the Client to facilitate the installation process. The Applications will be forwarded to the Electric Light and Power Advisory Committee (ELPAC) for their recommendations to the Minister.
• Upon receiving the planning decision, the applicant will be issued either an approval or refusal through the online system. In the case of approval, the applicant is required to make the license fee payment, and upon acceptance, the PV License will be issued through the system.

Owner's Responsibility (For Roof-Mounted Systems)

• In the event of any Builders' work exceeding the estimated cost, the Client shall make separate payments accordingly.
• The Client shall ensure the provision of a wired communication port to enable connectivity to the inverters and facilitate web monitoring of the system.
• The premises must be fully compliant with all relevant electrical standards for the successful installation and operation of the PV system.
• The Client shall bear the cost of any necessary upgrades required for the optimal functioning of the Owner's electrical system, essential for the efficient operation of the PV system.
• The Client shall ensure that the installation site is safe and suitable for Solar Watt Systems staff to carry out the installation process.
• The Client must provide Public Liability insurance coverage of $100,000 for RGS (Renewable Generation System) up to 10 kW and $500,000 for RGS greater than 10kW.
• The Client shall sign and submit all necessary documents for approvals from the Statutory Department, and Solar Watt Systems will collaborate in providing these documents for your convenience.

Operations & Maintenance (O&M)

We highly recommend and are pleased to offer operation and maintenance (O&M) services to the Client for a minimum of two (2) years following project completion. It is crucial to note that the Manufacturers’ warranty may become null and void if the PV system is serviced by others or if the recommended service procedures by the Manufacturer are not adhered to. Our comprehensive scope of works for O&M services includes:

• Removing all debris from the surface of the panels, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the PV
  System.
• Servicing and inspecting the fans from the inverters before re-installation.
• Verifying all AC & DC connections on the inverters to ensure proper contact.
• Checking the polarity of the cables to ensure they are suitable for carrying the required electric load of the PV System.
• Recording all DC Voltages and Amperes of the PV System for performance monitoring.
• Evaluating the strength of the PV strings using an Analyzer to identify various fault modes and locate electrical issues.
• Our half-yearly estimated cost per service is $806.99 V.A.T. inclusive, providing you with reliable and professional maintenance to safeguard your PV system's performance and maximize its lifespan.

Contractor's Responsibility

• The quote includes a high-quality steel sub-frame engineered for roof-mounted racking, capable of withstanding gusts of 150mph (3-seconds).
• DC cables from the Grid-Tied Photovoltaic Array will be routed back to the proposed inverter area upon completion of the panel array installation.
• The estimated completion and commissioning time is approximately forty weeks (40), subject to weather conditions and procurement schedule, while grid-connected projects must undergo the interconnection process with the BL&P, which may cause delays.
• Electrical set-up and builders' work costs will be tracked separately, with any achieved savings passed on to the Client. Other costs beyond the provisional sum will be the Client's responsibility, plus 8.5%.
• The installation period follows a work schedule from Monday to Thursday, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, and on Friday from 8:00 am to 3:15 pm, excluding bank holidays. Unforeseen circumstances beyond our control may require additional time to complete the job.
• The quote includes web monitoring equipment, allowing remote monitoring of the PV System's performance from anywhere in the world. Daily updates will be sent via email, providing information on your CO2 reductions and savings.

Delivery

• The anticipated delivery of Solar Panels and Inverters to the site is expected within 6 - 8 weeks, subject to stock availability.
