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.
Higher DSCRs. Wider spreads. Shorter tenors. Conservative maintenance reserves. These are rational responses to performance uncertainty - but they cost money on every deal.
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.
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).
BatteryPassport delivers on the cadence your credit process already uses. Monthly summaries. Quarterly DSCR-relevant metrics. Annual full assessments.
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.
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.
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.
