3.3 LatestknowledgeofPVProject(s)ManagementMethodologies/Mechanisms

Each project has its own complexities in terms of financial models, managerialcapabilities,projectevaluation,projectstructures,technicalrequirementsetc.andrightProjectManagementMethodologyisrequiredtoovercomethese.

Solar PV Project Management aims to address the challenges in terms of projectmanagement, project construction, financial management and assessing the risksinvolvedintheprojectdevelopment.

Solar PV Project Management is a rapidly evolving field which require expertise inproviding solutions in financial, design engineering, construction, logistics and supplychain, equipment technology, applications and services with aim to reduce theconstructiontimeandimproveprojectperformance.
