An EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) company handles a solar project end-to-end, from design to commissioning.
What an EPC actually does
- Engineering — site survey, system design, load calculations.
- Procurement — sourcing panels, inverters and BOS components.
- Construction — installation, wiring, testing and DISCOM liaison.
"A good EPC is judged less by the panels it sells and more by the paperwork it doesn't mess up."
