# SolarQuant

> SolarQuant is a global solar deal origination and financial screening platform that helps investors, developers, and lenders evaluate commercial & industrial (C&I) solar and battery storage projects in minutes.

SolarQuant replaces multi-week Excel modeling cycles with a structured intake → financial screening → payment risk assessment → deal marketplace workflow. It is used by solar developers, project financiers, DFIs, and investment funds worldwide to standardise early-stage deal evaluation.

## What SolarQuant does

- **Financial Screening**: Full project IRR, equity IRR, payback, DSCR, and cash flow waterfall modeling for solar PV and PV+BESS projects. Includes country-specific tax, depreciation, and withholding tax rules. Output matches Excel reference models line-by-line.
- **Payment Risk Assessment (PRA)**: Quantitative scoring of offtaker payment risk using country governance data (World Bank WGI Rule of Law), credit market depth (WDI), OECD country risk classifications, and offtaker-specific signals.
- **Deal Marketplace**: Curated origination pipeline where developers publish screened deals and investors discover, filter, and request introductions. All listings must pass financial screening before publication.
- **Indicative Offers**: Generate, send, and e-sign indicative term sheets directly from screened projects with deterministic [bracket] placeholder replacement.
- **Pipeline Management**: Board-centric Kanban workspace for tracking deals from intake through close, with automated stage transitions linked to financial screening events.

## Who it is for

- **Solar developers** worldwide needing investor-ready financial models without spending weeks in Excel.
- **Investors, DFIs, and infrastructure funds** screening C&I solar opportunities at scale.
- **Lenders and credit committees** assessing offtaker and country payment risk.
- **Advisors and consultants** preparing standardised deal documentation.

## Key differentiators

- Excel-parity financial engine validated against industry-standard models (Ado Bayero Mall reference benchmark).
- Country-aware modeling across global jurisdictions, including Nigerian fiscal year boundaries, April 1st Wear & Tear allowance resets, COD-anniversary tariff escalation, and SHL 12% nominal interest treatment.
- Hybrid PV+BESS modeling with capacity-weighted scaling and unified timeline logic (max of PV and Battery end date).
- Integrated payment risk scoring — no separate sovereign or credit research process needed.
- Deterministic offer generator (no AI hallucination) with e-signature workflow.
- "Email-First, App-as-Record" marketplace messaging — replies via email, threads tracked in app.

## How financial screening works

1. **Intake**: Developer enters project specs (PV capacity, BESS capacity, tariff, country, contract type, costs).
2. **Screening engine** runs the full Excel-parity calculation: PV generation profile, FX schedule, revenue, O&M, tax (with Wear & Tear iterative recalculation), debt schedule, shareholder loan interest (12% nominal), withholding tax, cash flow waterfall, and the iterative tax-circularity solver.
3. **Outputs**: Project IRR, Equity IRR, Project NPV, payback, DSCR profile, capital structure, full annual P&L, and cash flow waterfall — all matching Excel reference output line-by-line.

## How payment risk assessment works

The PRA module produces a tiered offtaker risk score combining:

- **Country governance**: World Bank WGI Rule of Law percentile.
- **Credit market depth**: WDI domestic credit to private sector (% of GDP).
- **Country risk classification**: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC 0–7).
- **Offtaker-specific signals**: payment history, sector, contract structure, and ownership.

Scores are exportable, attachable to marketplace deal cards, and shareable via signed public links.

## Pricing

- **Pay-as-you-go credit system**: $10 per credit, no monthly commitment.
- Credits cover financial screenings, PRA assessments, marketplace publications, and offer generations.
