Our Role
in Sustainable Development
design &
engineering
Providing a diverse spectrum of
high-quality design & engineering solutions
right from conceptual design, to creating
detailed construction drawings for all
aspects of the project life cycle.
Through our design and engineering services, we ensure that the plant is designed with the latest technology that delivers the highest level of performance while retaining economic feasibility. Performing technical analysis and software simulations using sophisticated, next-generation tools.
Be it developing the entire power plant from grass root level or a project specific requirement, EES can skilfully integrate itself to be the technical backbone of any solar design requirements. For projects that are one of its kind, our engineers can design precise solutions that are tailor made for the developer's small scale kW requirements or utility scale MW power plants.

Our team has a varied portfolio across all engineering disciplines that rigorously monitors each stage of the project, while maintaining highest standards of quality and safety.
We minimise risks during the design phase by verifying that designs are compliant with the requirements of the project, industry standards and best engineering practices.
We also assist our clients in selecting the best vendors and competent contractors that best fit the solar energy project requirements. Our extensive database & relations with various vendors give the client complete support in maintaining cost control.
We are a one stop solution with our tailored services that not only minimises risks, saves time and improves performance, but allows the client to focus on other business areas while safeguarding their investment.
PROJECT
MANAGEMENT &
CONSULTANCY
Guiding clients to achieve their
investment objectives, right from
project definition to operations by integrating
activities of Engineering Procurement,
Construction & Commissioning.
We are the Project Management Consultancy (PMC) contractor of choice by supporting our customer's business objectives and consistently delivering projects with outstanding safety performance. EES acts as an overall leader, coordinator, decision maker, problem solver and implementer, thereby allowing developers and owners to be in total control of the solar project development. As a trusted advisor, we provide services to support and catalyse planning and development of solar projects.
EES services are well structured through a value driven approach in the project ensuring cost and schedule control while maintaining the highest quality standards. With thorough understanding of solar policy, technology, project management and finance, our team aims to maximize client's return on investment and accelerate project execution.
Integrating design, engineering and project management; we deliver a transparent, highly regarded industry best practice procurement regime that includes an extensive database of suppliers that ensures optimal solutions which are cost effective and sustainable. Our on-site team provides comprehensive supervision activities throughout the project life cycle thereby implementing quality workmanship and generating a timely status memo for key stakeholders.
During commissioning of the plant, our engineers test various system parameters for any anomalies before handing over the plant to the Operations team. This process ensures that systems are safe and high performing. EES's PMC services have been used on many challenging projects. As a single point of contact with the customer, we apply industry's best practices and management skills to assist our customers establish a world class project.
LENDER’S
ENGINEERING
Guiding investors and
financial institutions using our
technical expertise and
detailed due diligence to
minimise their investment risk.
Excelsior Engineering Solutions (EES) focuses primarily on safeguarding the interest of the investor by becoming their technological backbone and supervising each stage of project implementation. We work closely with International & National financial institutions, banks, corporate enterprises and private equity firm to verify the technical aspects and review the risk allocation of the project they are investing in.
A detailed assessment of the proposed project is carried out by EES's engineers, assuring its suitability and viability thereby ensuring that the risk of the lender is minimized. Our services ensure that the project development focuses on higher quality of construction and that all social aspects are taken into consideration-such as safety, health and environmental impact.

During execution, EES engineers are dispatched for regular on-site reporting. Verification of the physical status of the work is done and checks on proper utilization of funds for solar energy projects are conducted. The role of a lenders engineer is not only limited to the period of loan approval and project implementation but can also be put into action a year after project commissioning to check plant performance.
PLANT AUDIT
Designed to obtain a
complex technical &
economic assessment
of the project.
EES recommends plant owners to carry out audits at scheduled intervals to assess the energy yield to avoid any unprecedented shutdowns. To achieve optimum generation and maintain a high-performance ratio, it is critical to study the active performance of the system in reference with designed energy output to understand the health of the plant.
Our comprehensive plant audit services assist in finding the root cause of decline in generation, accelerated degeneration of modules, frequent equipment breakdowns, abrasion of structures, and suggest necessary corrective action. Thorough inspection ensures that the plant adheres to quality installation, code compliance and conformance to design and safety criteria.
An in-depth review of the condition of the equipment at site is carried out using advanced tools and techniques to test critical components and measure key plant performance indicators.
EES also guides investors by providing a holistic third-party assessment of the project that they are planning to invest in. Engineers develop a techno-commercial analysis to assess the true-life expectancy of the plant based on the operational records, service life of equipment and highlight the investment risk based on the audit report.
Acting as an independent third-party auditor, we provide a transparent, unbiased opinion on the condition of the plant. Based on proven experience with risk evaluation of technologies, on-site inspections and failure analysis of key components, EES can guide project owners to achieve investment security through risk minimization and increase project bankability.
