Grid Connected Solar PV Plant in Rajasthan

Audit Analysis

A grid-connected solar PV project in Rajasthan with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, but the verification process surfaced eight material findings and eight corrective actions, primarily around PDD completeness and monitoring plan deficiencies. The project type carries inherently low permanence and leakage risk, yet the absence of verified ERR figures and a contradiction in the leakage treatment between documents leave meaningful uncertainty about the robustness of the credit claims.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eight material findings reported by Bureau Veritas, including missing measurement methods, QA/QC procedures, and calibration frequency in the monitoring plan
• ⚠PV module types in the PDD did not match Purchase Order details, raising questions about whether the as-built system matches the documented design
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not stated in the extracted record, preventing any pro-rata comparison against the 60,584 tCO2e lifetime claim
• ⚠Contradiction between the monitoring report (leakage deemed negligible) and the 2011 appendix (leakage quantified) is unresolved
