### Lot Information

Lot 1 - Servicing & Maintenance of Solar PV Systems

Annual servicing and maintenance of all NAC's non-domestic solar PV installations (31 nos). Annual servicing and maintenance should maximise the lifespan and safe operation of the solar PV installation, resulting in reduced building operating costs and ensuring the Council continues to benefit from the Feed in Tariff (FIT) scheme. Safety issues should also be identified to reduce risk of injury, fire, damage to equipment or the building fabric. Reactive maintenance is also required, with faults discovered at either the annual servicing visit, or by Council staff throughout the year.

Renewal: Option to extend up to 24 months at the sole discretion of NAC and subject to satisfactory performance and funding

Lot 2 - Provision of Solar PV Monitoring System

Remote monitoring of 31 x Solar PV meters is required. The council requires the solar PV meter readings across all installations to be remotely monitored and data collected on a secure platform. This will allow council officers the ability to review generation trends more easily, submit readings to utility providers and to assist in identifying faults to limit the downtime of the system. Remote meter monitoring for 27 x Solar PV installations was previously carried out through Logic Energy Ltd. Bidders can reinstate the Logic Energy system, as well as add the 4 additional sites to the Logic system or install a new logger and monitoring facility across all sites, ensuring the continual FIT/RHI eligibility. Transmitted data must be accessible on secure platform for nominated council officers to analyse and download.

Renewal: Option to extend up to 24 months at the sole discretion of NAC and subject to satisfactory performance and funding.
