1 The Importance of Accurate Lifetime Assessment to PV Investors Jon Previtali Wells Fargo Environmental Finance Solar Power International September 2015
2 Wells Fargo s Investment in Solar $1, $1, $Million $1,200 $1,000 $800 $ MW Utility 51% Commercial 27% Municipal 8% $ Schools 14% $ $ $ Invested MW Installed 0 $1.5+ billion, 300+ projects
3 Wells Fargo founded March 18, 1852 US EIA Annual Energy Outlook, 2015
4 US Gross Annual Capacity Additions Gigawatts Fleible capacity Other Solar thermal Small-scale PV Utility-scale PV Offshore wind Onshore wind Biomass Geothermal Hydro Nuclear Oil Gas Coal Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance
5 Planned Comanche Solar Power Plant in Pueblo, CO (157 MWdc).
6 Elected officials and SunEdison breaking ground at Comanche (August 2015).
7 The Importance of Accurate Lifetime Assessment to PV Investors
8 Revenue source #1: Solar Investment Ta Credit (ITC) Immediate, but can be recaptured by the IRS within 5 years. Taes Saved/(Paid) Ta Credits Ta Partner Cash Ta Partner Investment Balance Revenue source #2: Accelerated Ta Depreciation (MACRS) Revenue source #3: EBITDA Power sales revenue minus operations costs (epenses). Typical pro forma for a solar partnership flip.
9 Merchant power sales & residual value EBITDA Revenue Power purchase agreement (PPA) sales Operations costs Typical pro forma for a solar partnership flip.
10 Ta Equity Investors like Wells Fargo, Google, MetLife Ta Partner Cash Sponsor Cash Project Developers and YieldCos like spower, TerraForm (SunEdison), 8point3 Energy (First Solar/SunPower) Typical pro forma for a solar partnership flip. Target partnership flip year: 7
11 Top areas of pro forma questions 1. Energy production estimate a) Met data b) PAN file c) System (and module) power degradation rate 2. Operating costs 3. Epected useful life a) Module latent defects b) Materials issues like pier corrosion, cable degradation 4. Curtailment (in CA particularly) 5. Residual Value a) Merchant power sales post PPA b) Resale value of equipment c) Decommissioning costs
12 Due diligence & funding timeline Project Commitment Initial (~20%) after Mechanical Phase I Independent Engineering review Project timeline Phase II Independent Engineering review & Construction Monitoring Asset Management Monthly Operations Reports from Primary Asset Manager Preproduction factory audit Module Production Production line issue remediation Pre-production lab tests Production factory audits Production lab tests Degradation Rate Tests (continued if modules fail IEC test) Final after Substantial Or Final after Degradation Rate Tests (if modules fail IEC test) IEC & etended (PVQAT) tests Custom procedure done with NREL Sample size: 90% acceptance rate at 90% confidence level
13 Take Away Messages For ta equity investors, income in out years is important, but not as much as the ITC in the first year. It will be more important post-itc reduction, particularly if we move back to sale-leasebacks where banks own 100% of the project for PPA terms (20 years). For long-term investors, income in out years is key. YieldCos promise share holders annuities over 35+ years. Epected Useful Life (EUL) and residual value are important, particularly for appraisals required to validate the ITC with the IRS or if the project must be decommissioned after the PPA.
14 Appendi: Module Lab Test Specifications and IE Review SOW
15 Ideal Module Lab Testing Schedule (no delays) Weeks Days at Lab Manufacturing start Air Shipment Sample prep, outdoor preconditioning Tests Wet Leakage Current/HiPot Flash Test EL Visual Inspection LID PAN file validation 200 TC DH HF (IEC) 20 UV 45 (IEC) (IEC) 1500 DML (IEC) PID (IEC) Bypass Diode Test (IEC) Degradation Rate Tests 75 C/20%RH C/20%RH C/20%RH Reports Initial Check Interim 1 Interim 2 Interim 3 Interim 4 Interim 5 IEC Etended Special 1 (if needed) Special 2 (if needed)
16 Degradation Rate Tests Degradation Rate Tests 75 C/20%RH 85 C/20%RH 95 C/20%RH Specific fault ID d in IEC test Used in new energy production estimate that feeds project pro forma and purchase price. Degradation Rate Test Results Arrhenius equation coefficients Arrhenius equation model custom fit for fault Additional degradation due to fault. Baseline degradation assumption. New degradation assumption plus error. Typical Met Year (TMY) data for project location Built work by Kent Whitfield and NREL s Mike Kempe, Sarah Kurtz, Dirk Jordan, and John Wohgemuth. NREL study ( Photovoltaic Degradation Rates An Analytical Review, Jordan, Kurtz).
