What this is SolarQuant is a fast screening tool for early-stage solar project decisions. It helps you quickly evaluate whether a project is worth deeper analysis.
Who this is for - Investors and financiers screening inbound deal flow - Developers and EPCs qualifying projects before detailed modeling - Private individuals assessing rooftop solar opportunities
What you can do - Enter project information once and get results in seconds - See key metrics: Project IRR, Equity IRR, payback period, DSCR - Apply your own screening rules to filter projects automatically - Compare multiple scenarios with version tracking - Generate professional summaries for internal review
How it works
Step 1: Enter project data Input the key parameters: location, system size, tariff structure, CAPEX, OPEX, financing terms. SolarQuant provides sensible defaults where available.
Step 2: Run the model The financial model calculates outputs instantly based on your inputs and market-appropriate assumptions.
Step 3: Review results See the financial returns, cash flow projections, and validation warnings. Results are clearly labeled with the inputs and assumptions used.
Step 4: Make a decision If the project fails your criteria, stop early and save time. If it passes, proceed with confidence to detailed due diligence.
What SolarQuant is NOT - Not a replacement for detailed financial modeling — This is screening, not final underwriting - Not investment advice — We provide tools, not recommendations - Not a marketplace — Deal Discovery connects parties but SolarQuant is not a broker - Not due diligence — You must verify all project claims independently
Rules and limits - All outputs are indicative estimates - Results depend on the quality of inputs provided - Country-specific assumptions may not reflect your exact situation - The model covers C&I solar and BESS configurations
Common mistakes - Treating screening results as final investment decisions - Not reviewing the assumptions used in calculations - Skipping input validation warnings - Using SolarQuant outputs without further verification

--- Note: All outputs are indicative and depend on assumptions and user inputs. This does not replace professional due diligence.
