IBM Questions
TPS Response
The offer is clearly turn-key. However there are many items which we
need to procure locally, such as the power board (Schneider from the
Egypt plant), power cables (local UL listed manufacturer) etc. It does
not make sense to import power cables !
since the capacity is small we will not be able to locally source presently. We
can decide on local inputs once our Agent is on board i.e. in 2-3 weeks.
Batteries : I have noted that the batteries brand is not specified. They
are also specified as VRLA which seems to be a concern. We had a
very long discussion with the Socomec specialist regarding battery
technologies which are best matched for PV storage, and there are
clearly very intricate issues in this area
The batteries selected is VRLA which have been widely used by Telecom and
UPS manufacturer for back-up application. We will be pleased to evaluate
socomec battery technologies and see its pros and cons. Could you furnish
these details please?
What about Thin-Film PV sheets ? They are 20-30% cheaper, and their
maintenance issues can be easily resolved. Are the "TPS" type
specified in the offer thin-film ?
we do not supply thin film products. However pls note that over 80% of
worldwide installations are Polycrystalline modules which are more proven
and widely deployed due to their bankability. Even today thin film products do
not have a clear warranted degradation pattern.
