CIEG (Commissioning Inspection and Engineering Guidance) inspection is required before the commissioning of a solar plant to ensure that all systems and components meet regulatory standards, safety requirements, and operational effectiveness. Here are some key reasons for this requirement: Safety Compliance: Ensures that all electrical and mechanical components meet safety standards, reducing the risk of accidents or failures.
*Quality Assurance:- Verifies that the installation adheres to design specifications and industry best practices, ensuring the reliability and longevity of the solar plant.
*Performance Verification:- Confirms that the solar plant will perform as expected, meeting its designed capacity and efficiency before entering operation.
*Regulatory Compliance:- Ensures that the installation complies with local, national, and international regulations, which might be necessary to obtain operational permits.
*System Integration:- Checks that the various components (such as inverters, panels, and grid connections) work harmoniously together.
*Documentation and Record Keeping:– Offers a formal record indicating that the plant meets all necessary standards before it begins generating electricity.
*Risk Mitigation:- Identifies any issues or deficiencies early in the process, allowing for corrections before the system goes live.
