Costly Closeout

Reduce Utility Solar Project Close Out Time and Cost

Every successful solar witness test is a cause for celebration.  Yet claiming “mission accomplished” before the project is complete can cause major headaches later on:

  • Major unbudgeted expenses

  • Delays in project financing 

  • Investor capital calls 

  • Vendor warranty issues

  • Litigation

Failing to close out a project effectively is more than an annoyance - it’s a major source of risk exposure for every company in the utility solar stack.

In this workshop, we’ll work through best practices to close out solar projects, fairly, quickly, and cleanly.  Starting with key terms in the EPC contract and ending with the final completion package - punchlists, capacity tests, and more, your team will learn the leverage points that make the difference between a project that closes out on autopilot and one that lingers for years.  The workshop is set up to translate the sometimes technical language of project closeout in a way that non-technical team members can understand and assess.
