The Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) has floated a tender for grid-connected solar projects of 4.5 MW.

The successful bidder should be taking care of the operation and maintenance activities of the projects for ten years and also has to commission the projects within nine months from the letter of award.

The bidders must have designed, supplied, and commissioned grid-connected solar projects with 4 MW or above cumulative capacity and a total of 2.65 MW solar capacity from this, should be commissioned and operated in India, in which one project must be of 1 MW capacity.

The overall revenue of the bidder must be at least Rs 162 million for the last three financial years. Moreover, their net worth should be positive during the previous financial year.

The solar modules that are to be employed should be of minimum 72 cell configuration with a rated power of module over or equal to 300 Wp, as the latest edition of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), 61215 and IEC 61730 prescribed.
