Checklist
Worth checking before we talk
You don't need an answer to all of these.
Tell us what you know and we can start the assessment.
Landowners (ground-mount)
You own farmland, forest, or miscellaneous land.
13 things to check
- 01Do you know the land parcel number (jibeon) and roughly how large the site is?
- 02What is the land category? (dry field, paddy, orchard, forest, miscellaneous land, and so on)
- 03What is the land-use zoning designation? (management area, agricultural and forestry area, and so on; shown on the land use plan confirmation)
- 04Roughly how many meters is it to the nearest house?
- 05Is there a cluster of houses nearby (five or more)?
- 06Does the site front a road that construction vehicles can use?
- 07What are the slope and the orientation? (a south-facing, gentle slope helps)
- 08Is there a utility pole or a substation near the site?
- 09Are there registered interests on the land, such as a mortgage or a surface right?
- 10Is the land jointly owned or solely owned?
- 11Would you rather lease the land or invest in the project yourself?
- 12Do you need to keep farming the land? (this decides whether we look at agrivoltaics)
- 13Do you expect any issues with people living nearby?
Building and factory owners (rooftop)
You own a factory, warehouse, or commercial building roof.
13 things to check
- 01Do you know the building address and roughly how large the roof is?
- 02What kind of roof is it? (flat, pitched, sandwich panel, slate, and so on)
- 03What year was the building completed?
- 04Has the roof leaked before, or is it showing its age?
- 05Is anything in the way up there — condenser units, vents, skylights?
- 06Do you have the building register or the structural drawings?
- 07What is the average monthly electricity bill? (the last 12 months of bills)
- 08What is your contracted capacity, in kW?
- 09Do you run mostly by day, or mostly at night?
- 10Do the companies you supply ask for renewable energy use or carbon data?
- 11Are you planning to extend, refurbish, or sell the building?
- 12Would you rather lease the roof or invest in the project yourself?
- 13If the building is tenanted, can you get the tenant's consent?
Plant owners (repowering)
You run a plant past ten years old, or one whose contract is close to expiry.
13 things to check
- 01When was it commissioned, and at what installed capacity in kW?
- 02Do you have the annual generation record for the last three years?
- 03Have you checked what percentage of the original output it produces now?
- 04Which module make and model, and has the inverter been replaced?
- 05Are there sections where faults or stoppages keep repeating?
- 06How does the plant sell today: fixed-price contract, FIT, or the spot market?
- 07If it is on contract, when does that contract expire?
- 08Does the licensed capacity match what is actually installed?
- 09Do you own the land, or is it leased?
- 10If leased, how much of the lease term remains?
- 11Is there unused space left on the same site?
- 12Do you have a scheduled inspection or O&M contract in place?
- 13Have you thought about what happens to the modules that come off?
Investors and generation operators
You are looking for assessed sites, or expanding your portfolio.
10 things to check
- 01Do you have a target project size (in capacity) and a budget range?
- 02Any preferred region or site type? (ground-mount, rooftop, carport, and so on)
- 03Is there a target return and a payback period?
- 04Will you operate the asset yourself, or contract the operation out?
- 05Are you planning to raise debt, or is this mostly equity?
- 06Do you already run any generation assets?
- 07If so, when were they commissioned, and how do you sell the power now?
- 08Have you looked at adding an energy storage system (ESS) or joining a virtual power plant (VPP)?
- 09Are you considering repowering older plants?
- 10Do you have a plan for the shift to the renewable energy contract market in 2027?
Documents
Documents that sharpen the assessment
Certified copy of the property register
Shows ownership and any registered interests
Land use plan confirmation
Shows the land-use zoning designation and the restrictions that apply
Electricity bills
Shows 12 months of consumption and the tariff
Building register and drawings
Shows the roof structure and its area
If you have no electricity data, register your customer number with KEPCO’s Power Planner (pp.kepco.co.kr) and you can pull recent billing history and hourly consumption. High-voltage customers can download load data at 15-minute intervals, so we can start the assessment without a paper bill.
Free assessment
It starts with one line: the site address.
Leave the address and a way to reach you. We send back an initial assessment report within about five business days.
If the site stands up as a project, the report also sets out competitive EPC bids and financing terms.
