Selected bidders must also install grid-tied string inverters, inverter duty transformers, meters, control panels, and 33 kV switchgear for evacuation and interconnection through wires, cables, and bus bars.

They must meet the minimum efficiency requirement of over 20 % for crystalline-silicon technology-based solar modules. They must procure modules from the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers.
