General procedure

• Eximag International looks for suitable locations and ensures that these are prepared for large-scale photovoltaic projects.
• In conjunction with international investors, Eximag assumes responsibility for the project development, contracting, construction and management of the solar panel farm.
• The investors will finance the project and become the owners thereof, subject to obtaining the necessary permits.

Administrative project development

Within this context, Eximag conducts negotiations regarding lease rights and easements, completes the prevailing procedures for obtaining planning permission and environmental permits, and applies for subsidies (if applicable).

In addition, Eximag will take care of the administrative obligations with regard to obtaining a mains connection.

Technical project development

In first instance, Eximag prepares a 'Project Screening Report', as part of which it is checked whether the location meets the necessary requirements. This preliminary study comprises:

• Basic details of the location (surface area, number of owners of land or roofs, etc.).
• A study into the number of hours of sun per year.
• An estimate of the power output of the solar panel farm, taking into account the desired system (fixed, single-axis or double-axis).
• Listing and cataloguing possible access roads.
• Assessment of the possibilities to connect to a substation of the existing electrical grid.

In a subsequent phase, an extensive study is carried out for the effective installation of the solar panels on land or roofs. This includes the following:

• Coordination of the soil survey by specialist services. Possibly supplemented with seismographic data.
• Shadow study.
• Electric project development, such as internal cabling and connection possibilities to the existing electrical grid.
• Implementation and safety plans, if required by the investor(s).
• Follow-up of the project during the construction phase, in conjunction with the manufacturers of the solar panels, cabling and others.
