The Secret to De-Risking and Streamlining Utility-Scale Solar Project Development

Presentation Description: Stakeholders seeking to streamline and de-risk project development will learn the key elements of Arevon’s bespoke process, which is a blend of self-developed protocols, off-the-shelf software, and homegrown tools. Arevon’s process mitigates risks and speeds decision making associated with project siting, development, and construction - effectively reducing the time spent on early-stage analysis and layout production from weeks to days. The process mitigates COD delays, improves RFP response times and enhances confidence in the project proposal.

Phase 1: Constraint Identification
The first phase involves identifying project constraints. Inputs like flood, wetlands, desktop data, lease agreements, and any other available due-diligence are integrated to highlight the key project challenges.

Phase 2: Scenario Optimization
Next, design scenarios are generated based on site-specific inputs and paired with preliminary production and cost estimates. This optimization identifies the ideal design that yields the greatest production at the lowest cost.

Phase 3: Autonomous Financial Modeling
Finally, scenarios are run through a simplified autonomous financial model. This ensures that designs are assessed for key performance indicators (e.g., internal rate of return). The process allows teams to make definitive go/no-go decisions quickly, minimizing time spent on projects that do not meet financial benchmarks.
