How EPC Contractors Can Ensure On-Time Solar Project Delivery

Delays in EPC solar projects don’t just increase cost—they riskpenalties, lost credibility, and even canceled contracts.

One of the most common causes? Sourcing errors, fragmented vendors, and lack of shipping coordination.

At thlinksolar, we’ve helped EPC contractors avoid costly disruptions by offeringpre-configured kits,export-ready certifications, andrapid dispatchfrom our production line.

Here’s how you can secure every stage of your delivery plan.

What Typically Causes Solar EPC Project Delays?

1. Multiple Sourcing Points

Panels from one vendor, inverters from another, batteries from a third—this creates:

  • Incompatible equipment

  • Asynchronous arrival times

  • Higher logistics and customs complexity

According to a 2024 IEA report, 45% of global solar project delays were due to procurement miscoordination.


2. Lead Time Underestimation

High-power inverters and lithium batteries often have 25–40 day production cycles—longer if custom certifications are needed.

A project in Kenya was delayed 2 months when the inverter supplier couldn’t meet CE documentation in time for grid approval.

3. Missing Technical Documentation

Utility companies mayrefuse grid interconnectionif:

  • Test reports are missing

  • No compliance files provided

  • No wiring diagrams or spec sheets

How thlinksolar Helps EPC Projects Meet Their Timelines

1. Pre-Engineered Solar Kits

Our kits are configured for:

  • Rooftop commercial systems (10–100kW)

  • Utility-scale ground-mount (250kW+)

  • Hybrid/off-grid village systems

All kits include:
Panels + inverter + battery (optional)
Mounting + wiring BOM
Pre-approved documentation pack

You receive a plug-and-play system matched to your project spec.

2. In-Stock High-Demand Inverters

We maintain inventory for:

  • 5kW–30kW hybrid string inverters

  • 50kW–250kW industrial models

  • Off-grid all-in-one systems

These can be shipped in3–7 days, reducing your procurement window by up to 40%.

3. Engineering Documentation Support

Each thlinksolar shipment includes:

  • Electrical schematics

  • String configuration suggestions

  • Certificate packs (TUV, CE, IEC, etc.)

  • Warranty documentation

Saves your engineering team 7–10 days of drawing and compliance prep.

Best Practices for EPC Delivery Planning

Step Tip
Component Sourcing Use 1–2 suppliers max to reduce logistics failures
Inverter Availability Check production + certification lead time upfront
Shipping Coordination Use suppliers with customs/export experience
Documentation Prep Confirm drawings and grid certificates before payment
On-Site Buffering Plan 5–7% spares in BOM for site risk mitigation

Real Case: 100kW Government School Project in the Philippines

Goal: Install hybrid solar in 45 days before school reopening

Challenges:

  • Grid approval required CE + IEC docs

  • Island site with weekly shipping only

  • System needed batteries due to weak local grid

What we did:

  • Supplied full kit: hybrid inverters, 20kWh lithium batteries, CE-certified panels

  • Delivered from port to site in 9 days

  • Provided real-time logistics updates + remote engineer support

Result: Commissioned 2 days ahead of deadline, full payment released without penalties.
