Yield report

Realistic forecasts — reliable decisions

A professional yield report is the basis for financing, evaluating and calculating the profitability of every photovoltaic system: Investments can be hedged, risks minimized and stable cash flows achieved over the long term only by realistic forecasts.

8.2's independent experts prepare bankable yield reports for large PV systems worldwide — with over 20 years of experience, cutting-edge analysis methods and a high level of acceptance by financial institutions.

Your challenges

• Reliable planning of energy yield
• Financial viability and investment security
• Minimizing risks when choosing a location and designing a project

Inaccurate or over-optimistic forecasts quickly lead to bad investments, liquidity bottlenecks or conflicts in transaction processes. Factors such as shading, degradation or unsuitable layouts also pose financial risks.

Our solution: 8.2 yield report

• Simulation with globally recognized PVsyst® software
• Use multiple irradiance and weather data sources for maximum accuracy
• Consideration of all site and system characteristics (topography, module type, shading, layout)
• Transparent presentation of loss factors, specific return and performance ratio
• Comparison of different layouts on request
• More than 300 yield reports carried out worldwide
• Recognition of our reports by banks and investors

Procedure (example)

1. Data collection — collection of location-specific data (radiation, shading, topography, layout)
2. Simulation — modelling of the system with PVsyst® taking all parameters into account
3. Analysis — evaluation with detailed presentation of loss factors and risks
4. Report — preparation of a bankable, transparent report with all relevant key figures
