PROFESSIONAL DECISION SUPPORT

Built for project evaluation—not a simple ROI calculator

A structured decision model for investment screening, financing analysis and scenario testing. It keeps technical, commercial and financing assumptions visible so professional users can audit how the conclusion was reached.

BUILT FOR
  • Project evaluation
  • Financing analysis
  • Investment screening
  • Scenario testing
NOT POSITIONED AS
  • Simple ROI calculator
  • Generic spreadsheet template
  • Guaranteed investment outcome

THE PROBLEM

Solar decisions become fragile when the logic is scattered

Solar project evaluation combines generation, CAPEX, OPEX, financing, debt service, tax, depreciation, cash flow, returns and sensitivity. When those inputs sit across multiple spreadsheets, analysis slows down, financing risk can be hidden, assumptions become difficult to audit and scenarios become harder to compare.

When analysis is fragmented

01

Different files hold different assumptions.

02

Financing logic becomes separated from returns.

03

Scenario copies drift and are difficult to audit.

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

ONE DECISION CHAIN

From engineering assumptions to an investment decision

The model keeps the technical, financial, financing and risk views connected in one auditable sequence.

RISK ANALYSIS

The model asks more than: What is the return?

It also asks: Where is the risk? Minimum DSCR, funding gaps, financing pressure and return sensitivity stay visible beside the headline metrics.

  • Is the debt-service cushion strong enough?
  • Does the financing plan create a funding gap?
  • Which assumption is most likely to change the decision?
  • Do project and equity returns pass for the right reasons?

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 depend 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.
