PV Project Report: Dogana (52MW)

Project Overview

Dogana A was a 15 MW utility-scale solar tracker project where our team was responsible for both electrical and mechanical installation works.

Because the project used tracker structures, the execution required a high level of accuracy, alignment control, and careful coordination across difficult terrain. Tracker PV projects are more demanding than standard fixed-tilt installations because the structure must be installed precisely to allow proper operation and long-term reliability.

Despite the challenging terrain and the precision required for tracker installation, our team completed the project 2.5 months earlier than the original schedule.

Dogana A is a strong example of our work as a solar tracker installation partner for EPC companies that require reliable execution, accurate mechanical works, and coordinated electrical installation on utility-scale PV projects.

Scope of Work

Our scope on Dogana A covered the electrical and mechanical execution of a 15 MW tracker PV project.

The mechanical works required accurate ramming, tracker structure installation, alignment control, and careful coordination with the terrain conditions. The electrical works were executed in parallel with the mechanical progress, allowing the project to move efficiently toward completion.

The scope included:

• Mechanical installation for tracker PV structures

• Tracker structure installation

• Ramming works

• Electrical installation works

• Material handling

• Site logistics

• Machinery coordination

• Work-front organization

• Quality-focused execution on difficult terrain

This combination of tracker mechanical installation and electrical works required disciplined planning and precise execution throughout the project.

Main Site Challenge: Tracker Installation on Difficult Terrain

The main difficulty on Dogana A was the terrain. The site required a lot of precise work to complete the tracker installation correctly.

In a tracker PV project, installation accuracy is critical. If the structure is not positioned and aligned correctly, it can affect later assembly, commissioning, and long-term system operation.

For this reason, the team had to maintain close attention to:

• Correct pile positioning

• Ramming accuracy

• Tracker structure alignment

• Installation tolerances

• Material movement across difficult terrain

• Coordination between mechanical and electrical teams

• Safe machinery operation in challenging site conditions

This type of project requires more than basic solar installation capacity. It requires an experienced PV tracker installation partner that understands the level of precision needed for tracker-based utility-scale solar projects.

Execution Approach

To manage the terrain and tracker requirements, our team followed a structured execution approach. The focus was on maintaining both installation speed and technical accuracy.

The execution approach included:

• Careful sequencing of mechanical works

• Accurate ramming and structure positioning

• Organized material distribution across the site

• Efficient coordination of excavators, telehandlers, ramming equipment, and bobcats

• Continuous attention to tracker alignment and installation quality

• Parallel progress between mechanical and electrical teams

This approach helped the team manage the difficult site conditions while maintaining strong productivity.

Machinery and Site Resources

Dogana A was completed using machinery suitable for utility-scale tracker PV installation and electrical/mechanical works.

Machinery used on site included:

• 2 excavators

• 2 telehandlers

• 1 ramming machine

• 3 bobcats

This machinery setup supported site preparation, ramming, material handling, equipment movement, and daily installation activities. Because of the difficult terrain, machinery coordination was important for both productivity and safe execution.

Man-Hours and Productivity

The project involved approximately 9,000 man-hours.

These man-hours covered the electrical and mechanical installation scope, including the precise work required for tracker installation. Completing a 15 MW tracker PV project on difficult terrain 2.5 months ahead of the original schedule demonstrates strong productivity, site organization, and execution control.

For EPC companies, this is a key indicator of a reliable execution partner: the ability to deliver technically demanding work safely, accurately, and faster than planned.

Health and Safety

During the Dogana A project, one minor incident was recorded.

The project involved difficult terrain, heavy machinery, tracker installation works, and electrical and mechanical activities. Under these conditions, maintaining controlled site execution and safe machinery coordination was an important part of the project delivery.

Problems and Solutions

No major execution issues were recorded on Dogana A.

The main challenge was the difficult terrain and the precision required for tracker installation. This was managed through careful work-front organization, accurate mechanical execution, proper machinery coordination, and close attention to installation quality.

The result was a smooth execution process and completion significantly ahead of the original schedule.

Final Result

Dogana A was completed as a 15 MW electrical and mechanical solar tracker project.

The main difficulty was the terrain, which required precise work for tracker installation. Despite this challenge, our team completed the project 2.5 months earlier than the original schedule.

The project was delivered with:

• 15 MW electrical and mechanical scope

• 9,000 man-hours

• 1 minor HSE incident

• Difficult terrain managed successfully

• Precise tracker installation work

• Completion 2.5 months ahead of schedule

For EPC companies looking for a reliable solar tracker installation partner, Dogana A demonstrates our ability to deliver electrical and mechanical PV works with precision, speed, and strong site organization.

Summary

Dogana A highlights our experience in utility-scale solar tracker projects where terrain and installation precision are key execution factors.

Key results:

• 15 MW electrical and mechanical installation scope

• Utility-scale solar tracker project

• Tracker installation on difficult terrain

• 9,000 man-hours delivered
