FOR PROJECT FINANCE LENDERS

Your $20M is in the ground. You're trusting a spreadsheet.

After the IE snapshot, you have no third-party visibility into asset performance. The operator self-reports quarterly. BatteryPassport gives you continuous, verified data for covenant compliance - degradation curves, capacity trending, revenue verification, and remaining economic life estimates.

You compensate for what you can't see.

Higher DSCRs. Wider spreads. Shorter tenors. Conservative maintenance reserves. These are rational responses to performance uncertainty - but they cost money on every deal.

1.35x → 1.20x
DSCR Requirement (Modeled)
Verified degradation data justifies lower coverage ratios. The gap between 1.35x and 1.20x is real capital locked in reserve.
25-50 bps
Spread Improvement (Estimated)
Solar monitoring saw 40-60 bps improvement when third-party data became standard (2015-2018). BESS has the same structural gap today.
~6:1 ROI
Developer Return (Modeled)
$35K/yr certification vs ~$260K/yr in improved financing terms. The developer pays. The improvement flows to your credit model.

These are modeled estimates, not validated results. We have zero track record with lenders today. We are pursuing DNV methodology review for independent validation and designing a pilot program to generate the first real data points. Honesty about this is part of the value proposition.

What changes in your credit model.

BatteryPassport replaces conservative assumptions with continuous, third-party verified performance data. Here is what that looks like in your underwriting.

Parameter Without Certification With BatteryPassport
DSCR requirement 1.35x 1.20x
Spread +275 bps +225 bps (-50 bps)
Maintenance reserve Worst-case degradation Verified degradation curve
Tenor confidence 7-10 years 12+ years with verified data

Estimates modeled from a 50 MW / 200 MWh worked example (50 bps base case). Full sensitivity analysis in our methodology. Spread improvement numbers are hypothesis, not validated. Reference: solar monitoring delivered 40-60 bps when third-party data became standard (2015-2018).

Reports designed for credit files, not dashboards.

BatteryPassport delivers on the cadence your credit process already uses. Monthly summaries. Quarterly DSCR-relevant metrics. Annual full assessments.

MONTHLY
Performance Summary
Capacity trending, availability metrics, anomaly flags. Matches your monthly covenant monitoring cadence.
QUARTERLY
Certification Report
Degradation curve vs manufacturer spec. Revenue verification by stream. DSCR-relevant metrics. Warranty compliance status. PDF/A-3 with embedded machine-readable data.
ANNUAL
Full Assessment
Remaining economic life estimate (P50/P90). Year-over-year degradation analysis. Forward-looking capacity projections. Designed for credit committee review.

When the warranty provider disappears, what's left? Powin deployed 17 GWh globally before filing Chapter 11. Independent performance records are the only protection when OEM warranties become uncollectable.

Independent. Tamper-evident. Reproducible.

Every data point is cross-referenced through a 10-check physics validation pipeline and cryptographically signed. Neither the operator nor SynthGrid can alter a record after the fact.

DUAL TELEMETRY
Two independent data sources
Grid-side meter and asset-side BMS data are collected independently and cross-referenced. No single source can fabricate performance. Read-only access - no control, no commands, no interference with operations.
PHYSICS VALIDATION
10 conservation-law checks
Energy balance, power factor consistency, thermal modeling, degradation rate bounds, and six more checks rooted in physics constraints that cannot be gamed. Published methodology, fully reproducible.
CRYPTOGRAPHIC SIGNING
Tamper-evident attestation records
Each attestation is Ed25519 signed with SHA-256 content hashing. Chain-of-custody documentation designed for adversarial proceedings. The record is the evidence.
ISSUER-PAYS MODEL
The developer pays, not the lender
Same structure as credit rating agencies. $35K/year flat rate (early adopter pricing). Built into the developer's pro forma. The financing improvement exceeds the certification cost at 25 bps and above.

We know what adoption requires.

Lenders adopt new data sources through three paths: a peer lender uses it first, a recognized IE firm endorses it, or a risk committee directive requires it. We are working toward path two.

WHAT WE HAVE
Working validation pipeline
10-check physics validation engine. 870+ automated tests. Open, published methodology. Ed25519 cryptographic signing. Running on simulated data. Zero paying customers yet.
WHAT WE'RE PURSUING
Independent methodology review
DNV methodology review for independent validation of the physics pipeline. Pilot program design to generate the first real-world data points. The goal is to earn credibility, not claim it.

We're not selling. We're validating.

Do you verify BESS performance after close? Would continuous third-party data change your underwriting? What would make early adoption comfortable? These are the questions we want to answer with you.
