Technical Due Diligence
An independent technical review of solar PV and battery storage projects, so investors, lenders and buyers understand the risks before they commit capital.
Overview
Know what you are investing in
Whether a project is still on paper, under construction or already operating, its value rests on technical assumptions: how much energy it will produce, how long the equipment will last and whether the contracts protect the owner.
We test those assumptions independently and set out the findings in a clear report, rating each risk and recommending how it can be reduced — so decisions are based on evidence rather than a seller's figures.

What we cover
Energy yield
Check of resource data, loss assumptions and yield estimates used in the financial model.
Equipment
Assessment of modules, inverters, batteries and other major equipment, including supplier track record and warranties.
Contracts
Technical review of EPC, O&M and supply contracts: guarantees, liquidated damages, warranties and responsibilities.
Operating assets
For running plants, analysis of monitoring data, availability, performance ratio and maintenance records, plus a site inspection.
Financial model inputs
Confirmation that technical inputs such as degradation, availability and O&M costs are reasonable.
