Unlock the True Potential of Your Solar Investment
When acquiring photovoltaic (PV) projects, understanding the condition and performance of the PV modules is essential for a secure and profitable investment. Sinovoltaics’ Technical Due Diligence (TDD) Service for PV module project acquisitions offers comprehensive insights into the technical, operational, and financial viability of your investment.
Why Perform Technical Due Diligence?
Technical due diligence is the cornerstone of mitigating risks and ensuring long-term success for solar projects. Our service helps you:
- Identify Hidden Losses: Detect module degradation, performance losses, and inefficiencies that could impact energy yield.
- Ensure Standards PV Compliance: Verify that the PV modules meet international quality, safety, and performance standards.
- Optimize Asset Value: Validate the system’s operational and financial assumptions to safeguard your investment.
- Prevent Long-Term Failures: Uncover and address underlying issues before they lead to costly repairs or downtime.
Our Technical Due Diligence Process
1. Data Collection and Review:
- Analysis of performance data, energy yield reports, and warranties.
- Review of procurement records, technical specifications, and installation documentation, ensuring transparency and traceability across the solar supply chain, identifying risks that may affect system reliability.
2. Physical and Visual Inspections:
- On-site evaluation of module installation quality, structural integrity, and environmental conditions.
- Identification of potential risks such as module misalignment, shading issues, or soiling.
3. Advanced Diagnostics:
- Electroluminescence Testing (EL testing): Detect microcracks, Potential Induced Degradation (PID), and other hidden defects.
- Infrared (IR) Analysis: Identify hotspots and thermal anomalies in modules and electrical components.
- IV Curve Tracing: Evaluate electrical performance and detect mismatches or inefficiencies.
4. Degradation and Performance Analysis:
- Evaluate historical and projected performance trends to estimate energy yield and degradation rates.
- Compare findings against warranty guarantees and expected operational lifespans.
5. Risk Assessment and Reporting:
- Comprehensive assessment of technical, operational, and financial risks.
- Actionable recommendations to address deficiencies and improve system performance.
- Clear, concise reports tailored for stakeholders and decision-makers.
