Solar energy assessment
Robust, independent solar energy assessments from a trusted and experienced partner help you build confidence in your project’s financial viability.
The financing of a solar energy project will depend on how much energy the plant can produce. Hence many lenders demand an energy assessment as of the project’s technical due diligence before agreeing to finance a project.
As a trusted, independent partner, we can give your energy forecasts the credibility to reassure your stakeholders. Our solar resource assessment service gives a completely impartial estimate of your plants energy output. We help you answer questions like:
- Can the project make a solid return on investment?
- What finances might be needed to keep the project running?
