SOFTWARE

Solar & photovoltaic business plan software

Wattvalio replaces the fragile spreadsheet with dedicated financial business plan software for solar and photovoltaic projects: generation, contracts, debt, taxes and valuation — recomputed in real time, from a single project to the consolidated portfolio.

What the software models

P50 / P90 generation

Yield, degradation and probabilistic scenarios per asset.

Offtake contracts

Feed-in, PPA, merchant — and the contract-to-market switch at end of support.

Financing & debt

SPV, senior debt, gearing, sculpted debt, DSCR/LLCR and covenants.

Taxes

Corporate and production taxes modelled, not approximated.

Valuation

DCF and sum-of-the-parts (NAV / SOTP), with an audited valuation bridge.

Consolidated portfolio

Holding, dividend up-streaming, shareholder loans, sell-down.

FAQ

Why use software instead of a spreadsheet for a solar business plan?

Excel stays workable for a single project, but becomes fragile and hard to audit as soon as you consolidate several assets, run scenarios or track versions. Dedicated software recomputes in real time, isolates each scenario, keeps a full audit trail and secures access rights — decisive advantages in due diligence.

Does it cover ground-mount, rooftop and agrivoltaics?

Yes. Wattvalio models ground-mount and rooftop photovoltaics, self-consumption, agrivoltaics, as well as wind and battery storage (BESS), from a single project to the consolidated portfolio.

Which financial metrics are computed?

Project and equity IRR, NPV, DSCR, LLCR, LCOE, MOIC, gearing, EBITDA and margins, plus DCF and NAV valuation — at a level of precision suited to presenting to a bank or an investment committee.
