As part of the agreement, SWREL will design, engineer, procure, erect, test and commission the solar project. It will also provide two years of operations and maintenance (O&M), alongside multi-level inspections, onsite equipment storage, civil works execution, and pre-commissioning module performance monitoring. SWREL is also required to ensure a minimum capacity utilisation factor (CUF) of 25% and deploy
