Looking to analyze or optimize the performance of a solar power plant?
Our teams conduct targeted audits and support operational activities with tailored optimization solutions and monitoring tools.
Our experts have audited and supported several hundred megawatts of projects, both in development and operation.
Thanks to our understanding of market dynamics and in-depth knowledge of renewable asset profitability, we deliver solutions that address both on-the-ground operational requirements and strategic managerial and financial objectives.

Technical due diligence
Objectives
Technical due diligence complements regulatory reviews. It validates key technical characteristics and quantifies uncertainties and risks affecting the projected output of a solar park or portfolio.
Specifically, it aims to:
Identify inconsistencies between design, operation, and maintenance conditions
Confirm technical characteristics of the park or portfolio: resource, losses, performance, availability, production
Quantify uncertainties and risks that could impact these characteristics
Recommend realistic assumptions for financial models
Recommend and prioritize conditions precedent in the context of a purchase offer
Content / Steps
To assess production potential and quantify related risks, we:
Collect and review key documents: equipment supply, O&M, and insurance contracts; grid connection agreements; resource and production studies, etc.
Analyze technology and assess overall design adequacy
Review resource and yield studies
Analyze technical clauses in contracts: efficiency, availability, production guarantees, insurance coverage

Assessment of technical conditions for grid connection
Objectives
This review complements technical due diligence by focusing on the design and optimization of grid connection for a solar park or portfolio.
It evaluates technical feasibility and reliability, including acceptable line losses to the delivery point, reasonable unavailability and curtailment rates, and the compatibility of internal electrical installations with the grid connection infrastructure.
Specifically, it aims to:
Identify inconsistencies between internal installation design and grid connection infrastructure
Confirm technical characteristics of the connection
Quantify risks that could impact production
Provide realistic assumptions for financial models
Recommend and prioritize conditions precedent or possible improvements
Special case: projects under development
For projects still under development, the review may extend beyond available documents (connection study, technical and financial proposal) to include a forward-looking analysis of potential grid connection agreements, operation conventions, and access contracts, based on current regulations and legislation.
