Underwriting for distributed battery storage

Know which battery sites pencil before you spend on them.

Screen sites for feasibility and market participation, model complex utility rates and program revenues, and hand your capital providers a pro forma they can re-run.

How it works

One model, from site screen to financing.

Most teams screen in one tool, model revenue in a second, and rebuild the numbers in a spreadsheet for financing. Here each step reads the output of the step before it.

  1. Find

    Rule out the sites that will not work.

    Screen each site for feasibility and market participation before you sign a land option or pay for a study.

  2. Model

    See what the battery earns at that site.

    Complex utility rates and program revenues are modeled together. Savings and revenue come from one model.

  3. Finance

    Hand over a pro forma your capital providers can re-run.

    Structure the project for debt, tax equity, or an acquisition, on the same numbers you modeled.

  4. Risk

    Understand the revenue profile and manage project risk.

    Advanced analytics and multiple scenarios show how revenue changes and where the project is exposed.

Who it is for

The developer and the capital provider work from the same numbers.

For developers

Qualify sites and markets before the spend.

  • Rule out a weak site before the study fee.
  • Compare the same project in different markets before you enter a new territory.
  • Go to financing on the numbers you screened with.

For capital providers

Start diligence from the sponsor's model.

  • Trace each input to the bill, rate schedule, or meter file it came from.
  • Change an assumption and run your own downside case.
Utilyzed for capital providers

Built for credit review

The same inputs return the same numbers.

Repeatable results

Your capital provider runs the same case and gets the same figures. Each report records the software version that produced it.

Sourced inputs

Each input from a bill, rate schedule, or meter file links back to the page it came from.
