Q2: Please provide the following specifications: installed Outback, provided Outback, Schneider charge controller, propane and diesel generators, as-built drawings (electrical and structural), three-line diagram

A2: The options with the charge controllers, they can use existing but whatever is decided they have to provide all the same model/manufacturer. They should spec the system for 32kw.

Propane Generator 35kw, Diesel Generator 25kw

Q4: The Scope of Work section 2.c. "Array will be assembled from east to west, allowing 10,000 watts nameplate to be functional at all times throughout the performance period."

Federal OSHA safety requirements. Would the generator(s) be a suitable temporary solution during removal and installation? Or should ISC plan for renting portable generator?

A4: A diesel generator should be planned by the contractor suitable to provide power to CW. Currently a backup diesel generator is on site and can be used for a period of 7 days of constant running if project is estimated to take more than 7 days a contactor supplied generator will be required of 25kw or more.
