Our feasibility study services are conducted upstream of solar project development, supporting investors, lenders, insurers, and developers alike.
These studies provide the information needed to make informed investment decisions and adapt project design, for both photovoltaic and thermal solar technologies.
In 2009 alone, we audited and contributed to the development of around twenty power plants in France and internationally.
Scope of our feasibility studies
- Solar resource – Detailed assessment of site potential based on solar irradiation data
- Design & engineering – Plant sizing, recommendations on installation choices, and accurate estimation of annual electricity generation
- Capital investment – Evaluation of construction, equipment, and grid connection costs
- Project planning – Development and construction timelines, installation phases, and payment schedule estimates
- Operating costs – Assessment of insurance, O&M, taxes, and land lease expenses
- Revenue estimation – Projected income statements and cash flows; determination of optimal financing structure and return on investment
- Comprehensive risk analysis – Identification of technical (production losses, failures) and financial risks
