Solar Structure Tender Documentation: A Checklist
ENSOL Engineering TeamPublished 2026-02-03Updated 2026-02-131 min read
Clear tender documentation makes bids comparable and projects compliant. For solar structures, the specification should pin down standards, coating, design basis and testing.
What to specify
State the applicable codes (IS 875 wind, IS 1893 seismic, IS 2062 steel, IS 4759/ISO 1461 galvanising), the coating type and minimum thickness, the design wind speed basis, and any proof-checking requirement.
Testing and QA
Ask for documented steel grade, coating thickness (NABL-tested where possible), and relevant type-test certificates. This keeps bids honest and comparable.
