Energy audit of a photovoltaic power plant

The energy audit and the technical and economic assessment of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant is one the conditions for providing a loan by the bank.

Based on the technical solution of the project and geographical and climatic characteristics of the planned location, we will assess the possibilities for power production from solar energy and its economic return.

• We will evaluate long-term climatic data from several independent meteorological sources.
• We will assess the geography of the location (horizon, nearby barriers, reflectivity of the terrain).
• We will calculate and evaluate shading of PV panels.
• We will assess the technological solution of the whole project as well as its individual parts (structures, PV panels, inverters, transformers, cabling and electrical connection).
•  We will determine the anticipated annual power production, the production efficiency and the system losses.
•  We will process the summary economic assessment (cash flow, NPV, IRR, ROI).

You will obtain:

• Complex technical and economic assessment of the project necessary for a loan application.
• Expert evaluation of the PV power plant production and the overall investment return.
• Independent information about possible risks of the project.
• Proposals and measures for the project optimisation.
• The energy audit processed by a team of top experts, accepted by domestic and foreign financial institutions.

Case study:

Trouble free financing of a photovoltaic power plant The client – an international company active in the area of renewable energies in the countries of western, central and eastern Europe – planned to build a photovoltaic (PV) power plant in the south of Slovakia with the total installed output of 3.99 MWp. For the purpose of its financing it asked the bank for a loan. The bank subjected provision... more
