SolarQuant is a global financial modelling platform for solar PV and PV+BESS projects. It builds a full project model — generation, revenue, financing, tax, integrated statements, and returns — in minutes, in your browser, with Excel-parity outputs.

Solar developers, investors, DFIs, infrastructure funds, lenders, and advisors who need fast, defensible financial models for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar and storage projects.

Is SolarQuant Excel-parity?

Yes. The engine is validated line-by-line against industry-standard Excel reference models, including the Ado Bayero Mall benchmark, and produces matching IRR, DSCR, payback, and cash flow outputs.

Does SolarQuant support PV plus battery storage?

Yes. PV+BESS hybrids are modelled with capacity-weighted scaling, a unified project timeline that takes the maximum of the PV and battery end dates, and full Excel-parity treatment of revenue, debt, tax, and returns.

How much does SolarQuant cost?

Pay-as-you-go. One project costs one credit. One credit is $10 USD. Every account also gets one free credit each day. No subscription, no lock-in.

Common issues and fixes

"Export failed" error General export failures can have several causes: - Browser issue — Try refreshing the page and exporting again - Large file — Very large exports may timeout; try exporting smaller sections - Permissions — Ensure you have export permissions in your workspace role

Fix: Refresh, wait a moment, and try again. If persistent, try a different browser.

PDF export is blank or incomplete - Ensure the project has been run at least once - Check that results are visible on screen before exporting - Wait for all charts to fully load

Fix: Run the model first to generate outputs, then export.

CSV export has wrong characters - Special characters in project names may cause issues - Non-Latin characters require UTF-8 encoding

Fix: Open the CSV in a text editor or use "Import" in Excel with UTF-8 encoding selected.

"Download blocked" by browser - Some browsers block automatic downloads - Check for a blocked download notification - Allow downloads from solarquant.app

Fix: Click the blocked download notification and allow the file.

Export taking too long - Large workspace exports (full data export) can take several minutes - A progress indicator shows the status - You will receive an email when ready for large exports

Fix: Wait for completion; do not close the browser tab during export.

"File not found" when clicking download link - Export links expire after 7 days - The file may have been deleted

Fix: Generate a new export if the link has expired.

Rules and limits - PDF exports are available for all plans - Full workspace data export is available for paid plans - Export links expire after 7 days - Maximum 5 concurrent export jobs per workspace
