Energy Yield Assessments

Service Description

QE Energy Yield Assessment reports include simulations that can be performed using different probabilistic scenarios during the development of a plant. This aims to ensure that organizations bankrolling solar projects can accurately determine the level of risk of the investments. Based on these independent assessments produced by Quintas, assets’ designs can be optimised by employing different technologies and components.

Our PV Energy estimates are based on Meteonor solar and meteorological time series data. Uncertainty of variables such as solar irradiance and air temperature are the biggest contributors to the uncertainty of energy yield estimates. Thus, through a mixed set of resources as Quintas 10+ years of experience in the solar Asset Management industry and the use of Meteonor, we are empowered to reduce uncertainty when evaluating PV energy estimations.

 
 
This results in more accurate financial models and a base case to compare our client’s assets performance versus actual data analysed through our Monitoring, Measurement and Verification service.

Based on Quintas Energy’s simulations using best-industry software, the Energy Yield Assessment reports are a valuable output to implement changes to plants’ designs, which in the end will potentially result in better asset performance.
