ABOUT US
DVN
DVN Energy Solutions is headquartered in Karur, Tamil Nadu, with 300+ MW of ground-mount capacity delivered. With in-house design, electrical, civil and commissioning engineers, we bring the right technical expertise and licencing rather than outsourcing.
Ultimately ensuring your plant performs!

End-to-end design and installation
We undertake end to end design and installations of Solar energy farms, Smart grid, Bidirectional systems.
Reliability and commitment at every stage
Our team understands your needs, meets expectations and shares knowledge and processes transparently, so you know what to expect.
EA-2922
Electrical ‘A’ Grade licence
We combined technology with innovative solutions to execute futuristic solar energy projects with our own certified engineers.
Own SCADA
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
We are using our own software for monitoring and identifying faults in our park during maintenance period.
WHAT ALL DVN HANDLE
Land to live power.
A utility-scale solar project is a chain of technical decisions. DVN keeps the critical engineering and execution capability together — from early project readiness to energisation and plant performance.
Project readiness
We first start with the land, the grid and the commercial path. Our turnkey experience covers land purchase, legal readiness, load-flow availability and project development.
Engineering
We then design the plant as one electrical asset, bringing solar, electrical and grid-integration requirements together before execution begins.
Procurement & Construction
We execute at utility scale, delivering end-to-end solar farm installation with proven experience on large project sites.
Grid & electrical infrastructure
We build the infrastructure IN-HOUSE that makes the plant safe, grid-ready and maintainable — a dedicated PSS, LILO connectivity, HT/MV/LT structures, transformers and panels, MV bus ducts and cabling, earthing, lightning and surge protection.
Statutory approvals
We carry the electrical approval scope in-house under our own ‘A’ Grade licence — load-based design, drawings, submission, inspection coordination and safety certification.
Monitoring & O&M
We keep the asset visible after handover, using DVN’s own SCADA along with fault identification and solar plus HT/MV maintenance capability.
Battery storage (BESS)
A battery energy storage system stores energy from solar, the grid or a hybrid setup and releases it when usage demands it. DVN engineers design and build it as one comprehensive system — battery modules, BMS, PCS, EMS and safety systems working together, sized against the usage demand curve, tariff window and payback.
Peak demand & ToD
Discharge through demand and charge when power is cheapest.
Solar self-consumption
Store surplus generation instead of exporting it, and use it when generation falls or tariffs rise.
Backup & DG optimisation
Critical loads ride through outages while generator, fuel, maintenance and emissions come down.
Return on investment
Your capital comes back before the asset is a third of the way through its life.
A solar farm is an investment before it is a construction project. Payback is decided by generation, cost of evacuation and time-to-COD — the three levers DVN engineers against.
CAPTIVE MODE
You consume the power you generate. Savings against the utility tariff repay the capital fastest, typically inside three to four years.
GROUP CAPTIVE / THIRD PARTY MODE
The return comes from the tariff paid on generation, so payback is achieved in a six to seven year range.
LAND · EPC · EVACUATION · STORAGE
One licensed team from site assessment to sustained generation.
Generation-first design
Yield modelling, tilt and row spacing set against the actual land contour so the plant is sized for output, not just capacity on paper.
Lower cost of evacuation
In-house PSS, LILO and HT/MV execution removes contractor margin stacking on the most expensive part of the project.
Faster COD
Statutory approvals and energisation are planned before construction begins, so the asset starts earning earlier in the payback curve.
Storage-ready design
Whether you install BESS now or later, we can plan the space, electrical layout and connection capacity around your future storage needs, helping avoid costly redesign and rework.
Sustained performance
Monitoring, fault identification and maintenance protect the generation curve across the life of the asset.
One accountable partner
Land, engineering, EPC and grid sit with a single licensed team.

Quality control
Seven quality check points.
This is how it is checked: every hold point is tested, logged and signed by DVN’s own engineers under an ISO 9001:2015 aligned system.
On site
Our engineers oversee site work with a focus on quality, safety and project requirements.
- 01
Material inspection
Modules, cables and switchgear checked against the approved make list and test certificates before they are unloaded on site.
- 02
Structure check
Foundation alignment and every mounting is verified and logged before modules go up.
- 03
Cable inspection
HT and LT cables are inspected before termination — not after energisation.
- 04
Pre-commissioning checks
Protection settings, relay coordination and earthing values verified against the approved design.
- 05
Statutory inspection
Drawings, submission and safety certification carried by DVN’s own licensed engineers.
- 06
Performance verification
Measured generation compared against the yield model before handover is signed.
- 07
Documentation pack
As-built drawings, test reports, warranties and SCADA onboarding issued as one set.
Who signs it off
Every check above is carried out by DVN’s own licensed engineers — no consultant sign-off, and no gap between who builds it and who certifies it. Where a lender or investor appoints an independent engineer, we work to their inspection and test plan and open every hold point to them.

Project-owner questions
What owners ask before the technical discussion.
DVN’s confirmed capability includes land and project-readiness support, solar engineering and EPC, PSS and LILO-related grid infrastructure, HT/MV/LT electrical works, battery storage integration, statutory approvals, commissioning support and plant maintenance.
Does DVN handle land and project development?
Yes. DVN’s executed portfolio includes turnkey projects covering land purchase through commissioning.
Can DVN deliver the grid connection, not just the plant?
Yes. DVN has executed a dedicated 110/33 kV pooling substation with LILO connectivity on a commissioned 116 MW project.
What approval support does DVN provide?
Under its own EA-2922 ‘A’ Grade licence, DVN handles load-based design, preparation and submission of electrical drawings, inspection coordination, rectification, reporting and support for obtaining the safety certificate.
Can battery storage be included in the plant?
Yes. DVN sizes and integrates battery energy storage with the array and the evacuation point, including controls and safety systems, so BESS is engineered into the plant rather than retrofitted later.
Does DVN support the plant after commissioning?
DVN provides solar plant and HT/MV maintenance capability and uses its own customised SCADA for monitoring and fault identification during the maintenance period.
