C&I Solar & BESS Pipeline Triage Engine for Africa: Pre-Feasibility Screening & API-Ready CAD/Financial Modeler
Solar BESS
Further information
Equip EPC business development managers, independent renewable energy consultants, and project finance analysts with a physics-based, quantitative pre-feasibility filter for African C&I solar-plus-storage. Decouple early-stage pipeline triage from heavy engineering workflows, ensuring that deep-tech modeling resources are dedicated solely to high-probability, bankable projects that clear strict DFI underwriting covenants.
1. Multi-Site Pipeline Triage: Rapid screening of 2 to 20 prospective C&I projects across 15 African jurisdictions.
2. Lead Qualification: Early-stage sizing and yield estimation before dedicating capital to site visits, geotechnical borehole audits, or custom financial modeling.
3. Auditable Underwriting: For teams requiring fully visible, un-locked, and traceable math (conforming to ISO 8528-1 generator standards, local tax codes, and PVGIS physics) rather than black-box software simulations.
4. DFI Financing Readiness: Projects targeting international debt funding that must clear standard IFC Performance Standards and a 1.30x Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) limit.
1. Final Investment Committee Submissions: This is an initial screening triage tool. High-priority candidate sites should graduate to a full 25-year structural and financial simulation via the companion Solaris API.
2. Out-of-Scope Markets/Sectors: Operations outside the 15 supported African jurisdictions or the 8 pre-configured C&I load shapes.
3. Stochastic Yield Analysis: Teams requiring full Monte Carlo resource modeling; the sheet runs on deterministic P50 satellite irradiance benchmarks
