Lender’s engineering

Varuna Power offers specialized Lender’s Engineering services designed to support financial institutions, investors, and project developers in evaluating and mitigating the risks associated with solar energy projects. Our Lender’s Engineering service provides an independent, technical review of solar projects to ensure they meet all required standards and performance criteria before and during financing. This comprehensive service includes detailed due diligence, technical assessments, and ongoing monitoring to safeguard the interests of lenders and stakeholders, ensuring that the project is technically sound, financially viable, and capable of delivering expected returns.

Key Features of the Lender’s Engineering Service:

1. Due Diligence and Risk Assessment:
   • We conduct a thorough due diligence process that evaluates all technical, financial, and operational aspects of the solar project. This includes reviewing project design, technology selection, contractor capabilities, and construction plans.
   • Our team identifies potential risks, such as technical uncertainties, regulatory challenges, or market fluctuations, and provides detailed risk assessments that help lenders make informed decisions.
2. Technical Feasibility Review:
   • Varuna Power’s Lender’s Engineering service includes an in-depth review of the project’s technical feasibility. We analyze the design, engineering, and technical specifications to ensure the project is capable of achieving the expected energy output and efficiency.
   • We assess the quality and suitability of the selected components, such as photovoltaic (PV) modules, inverters, and balance-of-system (BOS) equipment, to ensure they meet industry standards and are appropriate for the project’s location and conditions.
3. Financial Modeling and Performance Analysis:
   • We validate the project’s financial models, including revenue projections, cost estimates, and cash flow analysis. Our team ensures that the financial assumptions are realistic and that the project is capable of delivering the expected return on investment (ROI).
   • Our performance analysis includes energy yield predictions, sensitivity analysis, and stress testing to determine how the project will perform under various scenarios, including changes in weather patterns, equipment performance, and market conditions.
4. Contract Review and Compliance Verification:
   • Our service includes a detailed review of all project contracts, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreements, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts.
   • We verify that the contracts are aligned with industry best practices and provide adequate protections for lenders, ensuring that the project complies with all relevant regulations, standards, and financing requirements.
5. Construction Monitoring and Progress Reporting:
   • Varuna Power offers ongoing construction monitoring services to ensure that the project is built according to the approved plans and schedules. We conduct regular site visits, review progress reports, and verify that construction milestones are being met.
   • We provide lenders with detailed progress reports, highlighting any deviations from the plan, potential issues, and corrective actions taken. This ensures transparency and keeps stakeholders informed throughout the construction phase.
6. Quality Assurance and Control:
   • Our team implements rigorous quality assurance and control measures to ensure that the construction and installation of the solar plant meet the highest standards. This includes verifying material quality, workmanship, and adherence to safety protocols.
   • We conduct inspections and testing of key components and systems to ensure they are functioning correctly and meet performance expectations before the project is commissioned.
7. Commissioning Oversight and Performance Verification:
   • Varuna Power oversees the commissioning process, ensuring that all systems are tested and validated according to industry standards. We verify that the solar plant is operating at its designed capacity and that all performance metrics are met.
   • Our performance verification includes final acceptance testing, energy output measurements, and the validation of system efficiency, ensuring that the project is ready for commercial operation.
8. Ongoing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Review:
   • After the project is operational, we continue to monitor its performance and review O&M practices to ensure the plant is maintained at optimal levels. This includes periodic inspections, performance assessments, and reviewing maintenance logs and reports.
   • We provide recommendations for improving O&M practices, optimizing energy production, and extending the lifespan of the solar plant, ensuring long-term financial stability for lenders and investors.
9. Project Closeout and Documentation:
   • Upon completion of the project, we assist with the closeout process, ensuring all documentation is complete, including as-built drawings, warranties, and performance reports. We also ensure that all contractual obligations have been fulfilled.
   • Our final report provides a comprehensive overview of the project’s development, performance, and compliance, offering lenders and stakeholders the assurance that the project is a sound investment.
