In Episode 16 of Power Players by Origis®, host Michael Eyman discusses the history and future trends of risk assessment and allocation for solar assets with Jason Kaminsky, co-founder and CEO of kWh Analytics.
During their conversation, Kaminsky and Eyman discussed right sizing risk allocation. Three key takeaways:
- Risk for solar assets is being spread to more parties. It’s no longer just origination bankers and developers, but also insurance companies, O&M operators and tax equity buyers.
- Historically, solar projects have needed protection from physical damage and underperformance, leading to financial losses. New provisions in the IRA create a blending of these risks that have buyers demanding better models for production forecasts.
- More data on weather risk mitigation and asset production are improving those forecast models and creating an overall more reliable and resilient solar asset.
