Solar PV Advisory
From origination to ready-to-build and operation. We support developers and investors on the decisions that determine whether a solar project actually gets built — and at what return.
Where value gets lost
The grid connection sets the rules
A design that ignores real node capacity or the access timeline dooms the project before it starts. The technical decision is an economic decision.
Route to market decided too late
When an asset reaches ready-to-build with no offtake strategy, you end up taking the first available offer rather than the best one.
The financial model doesn't survive the buyer
Capture, degradation or curtailment assumptions with no documented backing translate directly into a price discount at the negotiating table.
What we do
Defined engagements, with a specific deliverable and a fixed timeline. Each can be bought on its own or chained together.
Screening and flash study
Rapid assessment of an opportunity: resource, grid connection, regulatory fit and cost range. A clear go/no-go within two weeks.
Commercial due diligence
Buy-side or sell-side analysis of a project or portfolio: pipeline, permitting, revenue assumptions and material risks.
Route to market, 1–5 MW
Quantified comparison of commercial routes for distributed assets: remote self-consumption, PPA, merchant and tolling.
Collective self-consumption
Regulatory fit, perimeter, demand aggregation and coefficient allocation models for shared self-consumption schemes.
Storage and hybridisation
BESS sizing, stacked revenue strategy and hybridisation analysis over existing grid connection points.
Financial model review
Independent audit of the project model: structure, assumptions, debt waterfall and stress testing.
Ready-to-build support
Tracking of permitting and connection milestones, engagement with authorities and EPC, and a recurring project committee.
What you get
- An executive report with an explicit recommendation, not a data dump.
- An auditable financial model you keep, with every assumption traced to its source.
- A prioritised risk list with mitigation routes and clear ownership.
- A presentation session to your board or investment committee, included.
