Solar PV Technical Due Diligence & Advisory
KRD provides Solar PV technical due diligence and independent technical advisory for utility-scale investments across Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.
We support investors, lenders and developers in acquisition and investment decisions by assessing the technical, grid, permitting and environmental aspects of photovoltaic (PV) projects. Our due diligence process identifies material risks, validates key project assumptions and evaluates compliance with applicable technical, regulatory and project requirements.
The TDD for PV projects is structured in two independent phases, which may be contracted separately or sequentially depending on transaction needs.
Solar PV Technical Advisory Scope
PHASE 1 - RED FLAG ANALYSIS
Typical Scope Includes:
High-level review of key documentation available in the VDR
Identification of critical technical, permitting, land and grid-related risks
Review of environmental decision and zoning status
Land lease structure and plot consistency check
Review of grid connection and agreement status
High-level assessment of project layout maturity and installed capacity, including MWp / MWac
Headline review of energy yield assumptions where available
Identification of missing information and administrative gaps
Deliverable:
Concise Red Flag Memo with structured risk classification (None / Minor / Medium / High), highlighting material risks, information gaps and mitigation considerations
PHASE 2 - FULL TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE
Typical Scope Includes:
In-depth review of issued permits, licences and compliance status
Review of outstanding permits and realistic permitting timelines to COD
Grid interconnection and contractual review, including review of connection conditions, grid agreement and technical obligations
Consistency check between permits, land title, project layout and grid capacity
PV technology and design assessment, including DC/AC ratio and equipment selection
Review of installed capacity, maximum export/import capacity and key grid parameters, including MWp / MWac
Energy yield and performance review
High-level review of CAPEX and OPEX assumptions from a technical perspective
Review of key project contracts from a technical perspective, where available, including EPC, BoP, supply and O&M documentation
Identification of key technical, grid and permitting constraints affecting value or schedule
Identification of key project risks, mitigation measures and residual exposures
Deliverable:
Full TDD report supporting acquisition or investment decisions, incorporating Client comments
Optional Scope of Work
Site Visit
