Project Finance & Asset Management
Transaction & Deal Support
GT’s Project finance team provides investment due-diligence support including contract reviews, red-flag analysis for PPA/EPC/O&M and property related agreements, counterparty credit research and sponsor/guarantor analysis. Additionally, GT can complete the financial analysis, modeling commonly used debt, tax equity and lease financing structures. For a typical project portfolio, GT completes the due-diligence dossier/investment memos for our clients and assigns preliminary risk metrics as per the client’s risk segmentation.
Operational Risk Assessment
GT’s team uses a range of tools to conduct detailed research into any applicable market risks. This includes deal specific analysis of energy price using ISO LMP data, net metering credit treatment, utility rate schedules and credit allocations (e.g. Community solar). Additionally, we perform incentive research confirming the sponsor’s assumptions using historic and forward price trends such as verifying state specific SREC(s) assumptions. Lastly, we also conduct real estate related searches to ensure the project has no underlying property related exposures.
Energy Yield Assessment
GT’s engineering team can provide an energy simulation assessment and review the engineering design package to highlight any technical red-flags in the overall design assumptions. The team also leverages a real-time database (Solar Cortex TM) of existing projects to benchmark the production estimates, given the selection of equipment and geographic location of the project.
Asset Monitoring & Management
For operating assets in the portfolio, our team can conduct periodic monitoring of the project’s cash-flows and contract covenants, system production and relevant capital ratios depending on the project’s capital stack. GT also produces and sends investor reports required for disclosure or documentation to debt and equity partners on a project by project or portfolio/fund basis
Engineering & Resource Assessment
Our extensive range of design services can help you scale your engineering operations by relying on an experienced design team that can produce layouts and simulations with a turnaround as fast as 24 hours of your request. We support a range of engineering requests from initial sales related proposal drawings, design reviews for technical-due diligence through to post-construction as-built drawings and site monitoring support. We work with all types and sizes of projects including residential, commercial and utility scale.
Proposal Designs for Sales
We serve requests for PV system layouts, production estimates and electrical line diagrams used for project origination purposes. These layouts can be refined following a site visit and additional information acquired from the client after the initial meeting(s). We accommodate for different constraints like consumption, electrical constrains and incentive maximization amongst others.
Resource Assessment
Our experts are well equipped to handle detailed design requests on Helioscope, PVSyst, AutoCAD and other mapping/design tools required to develop high quality PV array layouts, conduct shading analysis, BOS and rack mounting layouts and interconnection/electrical line diagrams for either original designs or reviews on existing designs to check assumptions.
Permit Designs
Permit designs complying with AHJ, Utility regulations and NEC codes for all US states. Our services under this vertical are still being finalized and will be launched shortly. We will cater to all design types and deliver a complete turnkey package for permit submission.
As-Built designs
As a part of the final client deliverable, we complete As-Built drawings that show exactly how the system was constructed. These designs are based on photographs or pictorial representations of the design changes that are made during construction as compared to the original construction drawings.
Market Research & Analytics
The revenue streams for a solar and wind project can vary widely depending on the realized energy price and applicable incentives. The ability to identify projects with high IRRs, compelling project economics and minimum execution risk requires high-quality preliminary research. GT’s vast experience with electricity markets, utility and regulatory databases and historic project data can help ascertain key indicators that are critical to a project’s success. Additionally, our market outreach services can help you get in front of your target audience and help kick-start the origination process!
Pricing & Rate Research
Project specific pricing studies and off-take rate analysis using location based pricing data (ISO LMP), utility rate schedules, credit riders and associated filings . With proprietary BI tools, GT can assist in calibrating the project’s revenue by helping visualize the historic real-time and day ahead pricing for nodes, hubs and zones located in NYISO, ISO-NE, CALSIO, PJM, and MISO etc.
Policy & Regulatory Research
Detailed regulatory research into rates, notices, tariff changes and incentives from sources such as ISO/RTOs, State PUC/PSC and federal regulatory agencies including funding bodies. GT can study qualification requirements and analyze opportunities such community solar options, virtual net metering and other applicable state-level incentives.
Project Site Research
Using GIS mapping tools and allied databases, GT can help conduct preliminary r>site due-diligence studies such as zoning designations, AHJ identification, real-estate ownership, utility interconnection queues and other relevant data such as surface geology details for large scale projects.
Marketing Support
GT can assist in contact discovery and lead generation for your target client segment within the clean energy industry. This includes developing a well-crafted, targeted campaign message and subsequent monitoring of the customer conversion funnel using google analytics or similar tools and also subsequent data integration with your CRM tool.
Technology & Development
Technological change and rapid automation is the only constant in the clean energy sector. At GT, we can help you identify and engineer solutions that can assist in scaling your business. We appreciate that your software or analytical needs may require detailed industry insights and technical support that’s necessary to create a carefully crafted deployment meeting your client’s needs, and all this while making room for iterations!
Platform Development
Our technology team at GT can provide you with leading application development services that meet your design specification. Whether you’re building an asset management platform to monitor multiple GW of Wind or PV projects or the next energy data intelligence tool that requires large scale public database API integrations, we are here to help!
Analytics & BI
GT has in-house expertise to design and publish custom deployments on Microsoft Power BI and Tableau. We can help visualize the key parameters for your next project or report using custom built dashboards. Our analytics expertise also encompasses data science capabilities for more data intensive applications.
