Project finance: Solar + storage
Hi everyone!
Would anyone have, know where I can get, or knows anyone that knows where I can find a combined solar plus storage project finance model example or template? I've looked everywhere.
Thank you so so much!!
Hey there!
I've got just the thing for you. Based on the most helpful WSO content, you can get 27 financial modeling templates in a swipe file. This includes financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, Comps, and Excel Modeling. These templates could be a great starting point for your solar plus storage project finance model.
To get these templates, you just need to type your email address in the provided field on the WSO website. Once you've done that, you'll get access to the templates.
Remember, the key to a successful project finance model is a strong, cohesive strategy and knowing how to execute it. So, while these templates can provide a foundation, you'll need to customize them to fit your specific project and strategy.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!

Look up Ed Bodmer. He has a blog with pretty much every project finance/tax equity resource you can think of, and they're all free. The layout of his website is kind of disorganized but if you have trouble finding something you can email him directly and he'll likely respond pretty quickly.
Is there anything you want to check? I can't share the one I have (company's property) but I can answer any questions you may have.
In my experience, developers maintain two separate models, one for the solar project and one for the storage project. The solar project is typically the "main" model and they add some high level cost and revenue adders that are outputs from the storage model.
The reason for this is that the projects are financed as essentially two standalone projects. However, they need to combine the economics when negotiating offtake agreements.
This is not correct. If the project(s) are being financed in a single facility there would only be 1 model. The debt sizing portion of the model really shouldn't change. You apply various DSCRs to various types of cash flows. There will be more revenue line items in the pro-forma though. The solar will have your typical PPA revenue and maybe merchant energy revenue. The BESS might have its own tolling agreement or RA contract and potentially ancillary services and merchant energy arbitrage. The values for the merchant revenue streams would typically come from a consultant or software the sponsor is using.
so far this is what i've seen in a first-run. but i think when there is co-location, they'll try to merge the two in a reasonable format (may be later down the track pending availability/resourcing).
what is your experience with developers?
