1 MW solar power plant: construction cost and scope
For a 1 MW industrial PV project, site characteristics, demand, connection conditions and technical scope determine the estimate. CAPEX depends on the chosen equipment, electrical works and construction requirements.
What makes up EPC CAPEX
At megawatt scale, grid connection and civil works are material cost drivers. Quoting one universal price without site inputs would be unreliable.
PV equipment
Modules, inverters, structures, DC/AC cables, switchgear, monitoring and controls.
Grid connection
Technical conditions, protection, transformers, power lines, metering and required approvals.
Construction and start-up
Site works, foundations, installation, testing, commissioning, logistics and contingency.
02 / CAPEX
Why the budget needs a site assessment
Two plants rated at 1 MW may require very different grid extensions, earthworks, mounting systems and approvals. A useful preliminary EPC proposal must state included and excluded scope, tax treatment and assumptions.
03 / INPUT DATA
Inputs for a 1 MW feasibility review
We can prepare an initial assessment from the information available and identify missing inputs.
Request a 1 MW estimate ↗- At least three months of electricity consumption, tariff and operations
- Site coordinates, layout and land or roof rights
- Grid technical conditions, single-line diagram and point of connection
- Project objective: self-consumption, grid export or hybrid configuration
Frequently asked questions
How much land does a 1 MW system require?
Area depends on technology, layout, setbacks and terrain. We assess a location after receiving site plans or coordinates.
Does 1 MW cover a factory's electricity demand?
It depends on demand patterns and solar generation. Nameplate capacity is not guaranteed hourly output.
Is battery storage included?
The base case is PV without BESS. Storage and resilience requirements are costed separately.
When can you give a firm EPC offer?
After surveys, connection conditions, engineering scope and equipment specifications have been agreed.
