THE PROBLEM

Solar decisions become fragile when the logic is scattered

A project can show an attractive return and still fail its debt-service or liquidity test. The challenge is not one formula—it is keeping the complete decision chain consistent and auditable.

The traditional workflow

01

Multiple spreadsheets hold different assumptions.

02

Manual formulas separate financing logic from returns.

03

Scenario copies drift and become difficult to audit.

A result that calculates, but is harder to trust and explain.

ONE DECISION CHAIN

From engineering assumptions to an investment decision

The model connects the commercial, financing and risk views without turning the website into another calculation engine.

MODEL CAPABILITIES

A professional view of returns, financing and risk

Twelve connected capabilities support screening, client discussions and investment-committee review.

01

Project Financial Model

Connect construction, operation, generation, revenue, OPEX, depreciation and tax assumptions across the project lifecycle.

02

Project & Equity Cash Flow

Keep unlevered project economics separate from levered investor contributions and distributions.

03

Financing & Debt Schedule

Review debt and equity funding, capitalized interest, operating interest, principal repayment and ending debt.

04

Project IRR

Evaluate unlevered project returns without mixing financing effects into the project view.

05

Equity IRR

Measure investor returns after financing contributions, debt service and distributions.

06

NPV

Assess discounted project value using an explicit valuation date and discount-rate assumption.

07

Payback

Track the time required for cumulative cash flow to recover the initial investment.

08

LCOE

Compare lifecycle energy cost with the electricity-value assumptions used in the case.

09

DSCR / ICR

Test debt-service and interest coverage before relying on headline return metrics.

10

Sensitivity Analysis

Stress CAPEX, electricity price, generation, OPEX, interest rate and debt ratio.

11

Scenario Comparison

Compare Base, High Return and Conservative adjustment layers without duplicating the full model.

12

Reverse Calculator

Estimate bounded CAPEX, price or debt-ratio thresholds for a target return or coverage metric.

RISK ANALYTICS

A return metric is not the final decision

The model is designed to surface conditions that can weaken an otherwise attractive case: debt coverage, funding gaps, financing pressure and sensitivity to core assumptions.

  • Flag DSCR weakness before relying on Equity IRR.
  • Separate funding and liquidity checks from profitability.
  • Expose the assumptions most likely to change the decision.
  • Keep risk status visible beside investment metrics.

INVESTMENT DECISION STATUS

PASSReturns and coverage pass the selected criteria.
WARNINGThe case has limited headroom or a sensitive assumption.
FINANCING RISKCoverage, funding or liquidity needs attention.

Decision labels are model outputs based on user-provided assumptions and selected thresholds—not investment advice.

10MW C&I SOLAR DEMO

Positive economics. Narrow financing cushion.

The illustrative case shows USD 7.49 million total investment, 9.8% Project IRR, 11.6% Equity IRR and 1.31x minimum DSCR. Its conclusion is provisionally attractive—but financing-sensitive.

BUILT FOR SOLAR PROFESSIONALS

One model, three primary workflows

DEVELOPERS

Screen opportunities

Test project economics, debt ratios and downside cases before an investment-committee discussion.

EPC COMPANIES

Structure client decisions

Connect technical and commercial assumptions to a consistent returns and financing conversation.

CONSULTANTS

Repeat analysis reliably

Start from an auditable decision model instead of rebuilding cash flow and scenarios for every engagement.
