Public buildings have large roofs and steady loads. Procurement is the main challenge.

Government offices, colleges, hospitals and public sector units can host sizeable rooftop plants. Solar for government and institutions in Raipur follows procurement rules but delivers the same savings as any large rooftop.
Quick answer: pick capex or RESCO, write a clear technical specification, include maintenance and monitoring, and comply with tender rules.
| Model | Who pays upfront | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Capex | The institution | Institution owns performance risk |
| RESCO / PPA | The developer | Institution pays per unit and trusts the developer |
| Lease | Third party | Terms vary |
See solar for school in Raipur and PPA explained.
| Criterion | Weight (example) | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Technical compliance | 30 per cent | Datasheets, certificates |
| Experience | 20 per cent | Completed projects |
| Price | 30 per cent | Total cost over life |
| Maintenance plan | 10 per cent | Scope, response times |
| Financial strength | 10 per cent | Accounts, bank guarantee |
Cheapest-bid awards often lead to poor structure and weak maintenance. Specify minimum standards, require performance data and include a maintenance period of several years in the contract. Visit completed projects and speak to their operators. Read PPA explained if a developer-owned model is on the table.
