What is Technical Due Diligence (TDD)?
Technical due diligence (TDD) is a complete examination of a certain product or complete system. The full scope of a TDD includes an assessment of the design, suitability, performance, and quality of the components and plant. Technical due diligence may also include the technical assessment of the permitting and grid connection process. The results of the TDD provide you with crucial information about the condition, potential risks and associated mitigation measures of the asset.
A TDD assessment can be useful in various situations, for each phase of a project life cycle. On the one hand the TDD can be interesting in the development phase to assist the decision whether or not an investment in a solar PV project should be made. For operational plants, a TDD is used for the assessment of PV plants for transactions or re-financing process. Our systematic approach emphasizes the evaluation of performance and quality (not only compliance) aspects, which are critical to maximize the project’s financial returns.
Engineering
Kiwa provides engineering services for solar PV plants during the development, construction and operation phases. We can support your PV project by conducting feasibility and yield studies as well optimized conceptual designs to ensure the lowest LCOE. In addition, we provide complete engineering services for the construction of PV plants. If an EPC is used, we can act as the owner’s engineer or lender’s technical advisor to ensure that the PV plant is built according to contractual and regulatory requirements. Our experts actively collaborate with leading banks and investment funds, as well as with those who require an independent audit to protect their investment.
