    Mechanical Installation: PV arrays installed on steel racking structures placed over precast concrete ballast blocks, designed to withstand coastal humidity and corrosion. No excavation or earthworks were performed by Cora Energy; the scope was limited to mechanical installation on ballast foundations.
    Electrical Scope: Integration with a 1 MWh DC-coupled battery system, including PCS installation, MV substation cabling, and transformer commissioning. DC/AC cabling and earthing systems executed in compliance with IEC standards.
    Safety Protocols: Battery fire suppression measures (per NFPA 855), electrical hazard isolation, PPE enforcement for energy storage handling, and lock-out/tag-out procedures.
    Commissioning: Battery BMS communication tests, inverter synchronization, SCADA integration, protection relay coordination, and final plant energization.
    Standards: IEC 62933, IEC 62446, IEC 60364, and African utility interconnection codes.
