Offering complete solar consultancy services for a bankable solar PV project
Being a renewable source of energy, grid-connected solar PV power plants have become the next energy generation source worldwide. Their tremendous contribution to sustainability, carbon footprint reduction, and low cost energy production has propelled their demand over the years.
Solar energy projects are relatively simple to implement, however project developers and investors have to evaluate the critical aspects and balance the techno-financial risks and opportunities across the value chain to leverage the benefits.
And for procuring these benefits, the developers and investors look for specialized solar engineering consultants who can offer comprehensive services from concept to project completion.

United Nations General Assembly in a resolution adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with 169 targets and 304 indicators on 25th September, 2015 under the official agenda 'Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. The Government of India is one of the signatories to this Resolution. The Government of Assam recognizes that the 17 SDGs, 169 targets and 304 indicators represent the consensus of the global community on things to
be done by different Governments in the interest of the well-being of the entire world and humanity. SDG Goal 7— “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”—is a challenge confronting every country, that touches everyone. To understand the necessity of meeting this goal, and what is required to do so, we should unpack the statement of the goal itself. The four dimensions of SDG 7 are Affordability, Reliability, Sustainability and Clear Energy. These
different dimensions are not mutually exclusive. They overlap, and in some cases even entail each other.
