TECHNICAL ADVISORY
Feasibility Study
Our solar feasibility studies help developers and investors determine whether a location is technically and financially viable for installing a solar project, a BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems), or a hybrid project. As the requirements vary from country to country, you may need to assess different legal and regulatory frameworks to develop solar farms in certain countries. At Quintas Advisory, we can provide you with the necessary support to analyse the feasibility of your specific project. Our team of consultants have a solid track record in assessing project suitability and will help you make your plans a success.
Technical Due Diligence
Are you planning to purchase, finance, or sell a solar PV project, battery (BESS) or hybrid system? Whether the project is in the developmental stage or currently operational, there are factors that you should be aware of before making crucial decisions. We help you identify any technical risks surrounding the opportunity and offer clear mitigation solutions.
Energy Yield Assessment
Our independent assessments enable your teams to optimise the design of your renewable plant by employing different types of technologies (such as axis trackers versus fixed arrays and more), configurations, and components during the development stage. Our expertise gained over more than a decade in the solar market ensures we will provide you with valuable insights into your project’s strengths and weaknesses.
Layout Design
Our experts will analyse your PV, storage or hybrid project's plans and pinpoint the best design.
Permitting Support
We streamline the permitting process, from planning to second-level approvals, ensuring a seamless path to construction while minimizing delays.
Technical Analysis for BESS
As a renewable energy player that spotted the potential of battery storage early, we regard BESS services as an integral part of the solutions we offer today.
Technology Review for BESS
We carefully scrutinise all components, equipment and materials to be used in your BESS or hybrid project so you can be sure that everything meets the highest standards of quality and compatibility.
BESS Optimisation
Expert technical support, assisting you with the challenges of sizing and designing your energy storage project to optimise performance and financial return.
Owner's Engineer
In our role as asset managers, we know that operational problems can often arise during early negotiation, construction, or quality control stages of project development. Sometimes, such issues keep assets from performing efficiently, which can be expensive to resolve. Acting as the owner’s engineer for your solar installation or energy storage project, we ensure safe and efficient engineering throughout your renewable project development journey.
Tenders Support
Quality Control
Working with our clients, we establish the best method for ensuring Quality Control for solar PV projects, BESS or hybrids, within the project's overall constraints.
Acceptance Processes
We actively supervise and follow up contractors' work during the handover stage to ensure your projects consistently meet contractual quality standards.
Drone Service
Drones can replace traditional, labour-intensive tasks and provide value across a solar asset’s complete lifespan - from the initial planning and design stages to ongoing maintenance. Aerial inspections are the basis for the precise verification of power performance and warranty claims. Using drones replaces the traditional field walks and provides a modern way to inspect renewable assets and perform handheld thermal inspections.
Asset Life Extension
Asset life extensions are one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to increase the value of your renewable assets.
Pre-inspection Support
We will help protect your income flow and ensure you successfully pass challenging audit procedures.
Revamping
Some of the older PV plants are now facing performance and availability issues due to poor design or lack of maintenance over the years. Finding spare parts or replacement equipment is often time-consuming, expensive, or simply impossible. During any revamping project, we always conduct a 360º analysis before defining the technical strategy. This involves analysing the historical performance, onsite inspections and a complete technical, planning and financial assessment.
Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructure
Security is a function with a wide range of applications. When applied to the critical infrastructure found in renewable projects, there are several main areas to consider, each of them comprising one part of a site’s overall information security strategy. Quintas’ cybersecurity services address these areas and ensure they are mutually supporting, to provide maximum protection overall.
Compliance with NIS2 Regulations
Navigating the complexities of the European Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2) regulations is crucial for businesses to ensure robust cybersecurity measures and safeguard critical infrastructure. Our Compliance with NIS2 Regulations services are designed to help organizations meet these stringent requirements effectively and efficiently.
