Technical Due Diligence — The Foundation of Every Bankable Project
We do not begin with a proposal.
We begin with the data. Every SOLCAM industrial energy project is preceded by a structured analytical process: a Technical-Financial Roadmap that defines exactly what your facility needs, what it will cost, and what it will return — before a single component is specified. The output gives your CFO the financial certainty to approve a capital allocation. It gives your engineering team a technically verified scope. And it gives SOLCAM the precision data required to design a system that performs.
This is not a report that leads to a proposal. This is a report that is the proposal foundation.
What We Deliver
The SOLCAM energy audit is a structured analytical engagement. It covers:- Quarter-hourly demand profiling and load curve analysis — your facility’s actual consumption pattern, not an industry benchmark
- Energy cost structure breakdown and tariff optimization — identifying the tariff inefficiencies that a correctly designed self-consumption system eliminates
- Self-consumption ratio and grid dependency modeling — projecting the degree of energy autonomy achievable given your facility’s load profile and available surface area
- Digital Twin simulation: system performance under multiple future scenarios — electricity price trajectories, carbon tax escalation, and demand growth
- Bankable CAPEX/OPEX projections with full financial model: payback period, IRR, and NPV across CAPEX, OPEX, and PPA structures
- CAE (Certificados de Ahorro Energético) eligibility assessment — identifying applicable incentive mechanisms before the project enters procurement
- PNIEC 2030 and EU Energy Efficiency Directive compliance gap analysis — mapping your current position against national and European decarbonization targets
- ESG reporting baseline — establishing the verified performance metrics required for supply chain compliance and investor-grade ESG reporting
The Output
The deliverable is a Technical-Financial Roadmap — a single document that functions simultaneously as:- An investment justification for the CFO — with bankable financial projections and scenario modeling
- A technically verified scope for the engineering team — eliminating the guesswork from system specification
- A bankability document for financial institutions — structured to meet the Technical Due Diligence requirements of project lenders and insurers
- A compliance baseline for ESG reporting — with verified current-state metrics and modeled post-installation improvements
- A regulatory alignment map — positioning the investment relative to PNIEC 2030 milestones and EU Energy Efficiency Directive obligations
The Digital Twin Advantage
Standard energy audits model system performance under current market conditions. SOLCAM’s audit goes further: we simulate how your proposed system will perform under future scenarios — including electricity price trajectories based on EU energy market projections, progressive carbon pricing under the EU Emissions Trading System, and your own projected demand growth over the analysis horizon.
The result is not a static payback calculation. It is a range of financially grounded outcomes — giving your board confidence that the investment case holds under market stress, not just under today’s assumptions.
Regulatory Precision — From Incentive Capture to ESG Compliance
SOLCAM brings full regulatory depth to every industrial energy project — from incentive capture through ESG compliance. That depth is built into the project scope, not layered on as advisory. It is what allows a client to capture the full value of their investment, secure available public funding, and maintain the compliance baseline required by their supply chain and financiers.
Every SOLCAM energy audit includes a full regulatory layer: CAE incentive assessment, NextGenerationEU funding identification, and PNIEC 2030 alignment mapping. These are not bolt-on services. They are standard deliverables in the Technical-Financial Roadmap.CAE Management
- Full management of the CAE (Certificados de Ahorro Energético) process on behalf of the industrial client
- Eligibility assessment: identifying which project components qualify under current Spanish energy efficiency incentive regulations
- Documentation preparation and submission management
- Timeline coordination to align CAE certification with project financing and commissioning milestones
- Ongoing compliance monitoring throughout the asset operational life
- SOLCAM manages the full CAE process — clients do not navigate this independently
NextGenerationEU & Public Funding
- Identification of applicable NextGenerationEU funding cycles for industrial energy projects
- IDAE (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía) subsidy assessment and application management
- ICAEN (Institut Català de l’Energia) grant identification for Catalan industrial operators
- Subsidy stacking analysis: identifying the combination of incentive mechanisms applicable to a given project
- Documentation and justification support for funding applications
- No fixed subsidy amounts are guaranteed. SOLCAM provides expert management of the application process and the funding landscape — not a fixed financial commitment.
PNIEC 2030 & EU Alignment
- Mapping the client’s current energy consumption profile against Spain’s PNIEC 2030 national decarbonization targets
- Assessment of obligations under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive applicable to the client’s facility and sector
- EU Energy Data Space readiness: ensuring the post-installation data infrastructure meets emerging EU reporting requirements
- Supply chain ESG compliance: positioning the client’s decarbonization roadmap to satisfy Tier 1 supplier qualification requirements
- Verified CO₂ avoidance calculations structured for ESG reporting and third-party audit
The Spanish public funding landscape for industrial energy projects — NextGenerationEU cycles, IDAE subsidies, ICAEN grants — changes with each funding round. Eligibility criteria, coverage percentages, and application windows are not fixed. Communications from any provider that presents specific subsidy amounts as guaranteed should be treated with caution.
SOLCAM’s position is unambiguous: we manage the subsidy identification and application process with the rigor of an expert practitioner. What we offer is the expertise to capture the maximum available incentive for a given project, at the time it is available, with the documentation required to secure it.
