9 16 services services 17 Weather Data Yield Reports Technical Due Diligence Design of Monitoring & SCADA Precise weather data for planning and revision of system performance Sound yield calculations for planning and evaluating PV systems Independent technical evaluation and consultancy before realization of PV projects Compliance with technical connecting conditions and cost-effective planning of monitoring for PV systems worldwide In cooperation with the University of Oldenburg and Ciemat, high-resolution satellite images are analyzed in order to generate global, diffuse and direct irradiation data for locations all over the world. By utilizing the latest scientific techniques, interpolation methods can be completely forgone. The NCEP reanalysis data enables us to provide accurate temperature data for various geocoordinates all over the world. Based on highly precise weather and irradiance data we determine the long-term energy yield of your PV system while incorporating local conditions. The reports form the basis for the bank s financing decision. Technical Due Diligence includes the analysis of all system data and influential factors during the planning, construction and subsequent operation phase. We check the technical documentation, contracts and quality assurance concept in terms of content and completeness. We offer advice during contractual negotiations and provide you with valuable decision support. This helps to speed up project progress while safeguarding your investment. Taking into account all requirements specific to the system as well as the grid operator, we help you plan, coordinate, and implement monitoring and SCADA systems in the technically accurate manner. Our broad range of telecontrol protocols (IEC / 104, DNP3, Modbus, etc.) guarantees compatibility with numerous grid operators. The requirements of the individual grid operators are complex and demand individual solutions, especially in medium and high voltage grids.

10 18 services services 19 Construction Supervision and Technical Acceptance Performance Check Module Testing Rating of PV Systems Independent quality assurance during construction of PV projects Sound and independent assessment of the system yield based on actual irradiance Early identification of defective solar modules and measurement of module performance The audit for independent evaluation of PV power plants in accordance with international rating standards During the construction phase, our experienced experts are present on-site, maintaining communication between the investor and site management. Thanks to regular quality checks, construction defects are identified and rectified in good time. This allows the system to start up as scheduled. The Technical Acceptance allows for a reliable evaluation of the quality of a PV system for both recently commissioned as well as long-time operating systems. A comprehensive inspection, measurements and analysis of the main components is performed on-site. Particular attention is paid to the solar modules, with random thermal analysis and random module performance measurements. We analyze the measurement data and create a target / actual comparison in order to establish the performance ratio (PR) for your PV system. The system-specific parameters as well as temperature and irradiance data for the respective period are incorporated in the same way as during the yield report calculation. We adapt the procedure individually to suit your requirements. A comprehensive report including data analysis objectively depicts the performance capability of your system and supplies you with reliable proof for business partners. Intact solar modules with maximum performance play a key role in assuring the yield of your PV system. Using high-precision measuring equipment and proven testing methods, our experts inspect your modules for weaknesses and determine their actual performance on-site and in our in-house laboratory. As a result, defects are identified and rectified before a project is completed and you achieve the forecasted energy yield. The rating procedure recognized by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) certifies a system s quality and contingency risk and assesses these factors with a rating of AAA through C, as commonly used in the banking sector.
