Why

Find it after handover and the cost is yours.

Faults that surface after commissioning or handover easily become disputes over who's responsible. Whether documents match the actual equipment, permitted capacity matches installed capacity, and whether a generation drop is temporary or structural — a pre-acquisition inspection protects your leverage and your costs.
3 tiers

Process

Onboarding process

As a one-time diagnostic, the final step is delivery of the report and recommendations. Adjusted to plant size.
  1. Step 01

    Inquiry & consultation

    Share plant info and agree on the inspection purpose, tier (B/S/P) and schedule.

    1-2 days
  2. Step 02

    Review & site visit

    Review documents and operating status, then visit the site in advance to fix the inspection scope.

    1 week
  3. Step 03

    Contract & inspection

    Perform the tiered inspection, metering, thermal imaging and precision diagnostics (EL/IV/drone).

    2-5 days
  4. Step 04

    Diagnostic report

    Deliver a diagnostic report — Standard with recommendations, Premium with risk quantification.

    3-5 days
Our difference

An operator inspects it directly.

A company that monitors and runs O&M does the inspection. It flags the real risks only an operator knows — with objective evidence.

An operator's eye

A company that monitors and runs O&M inspects it, flagging defects that would surface during operation.

Independent, objective inspection

Third-party diagnostics unaffiliated with the seller or contractor, for objective evidence.

Evidence-based report

Measurements and images you can take straight into negotiations and due diligence — Standard recommendations / Premium risk quantification.

Extends to TDD level

Top-level precision diagnostics for M&A, PF and refinancing due diligence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

On timing, tiers and reports. Add any further questions to your quote request.
When is the best time to get it?
Acquisition, sale, M&A, refinancing and due diligence are most effective, and it also works for diagnosing operating plants.
Which tier should I choose?
We recommend Basic for a quick pre-review, Standard for a standard acquisition diligence, and Premium (TDD) for M&A, PF and large portfolios.
Can the report be used in negotiations?
Standard includes recommendations and Premium includes risk quantification, so you can use it directly for fault negotiations and investment decisions.
Do you offer precision diagnostics like drone or EL?
Premium includes IV, EL, PID and a drone full scan.
