Assess how much energy a proposed or existing solar PV system may produce, using the project inputs, site information and modelling assumptions agreed for the job.
A solar yield assessment is a defined assessment service. Agree the scope, deliverables, timeline and rate directly with the talent you choose.
A solar yield assessment can cover several areas. Agree which ones are included before work begins.
Review the information used to model expected solar production, including areas such as:
A PV performance modelling consultant can model how the proposed system is expected to perform using the agreed project inputs and assumptions.
Review the factors that can reduce expected output, such as:
The assessment can provide estimated production outputs for the agreed design, scenario or project configuration.
A solar yield assessment can support several project situations.
Use an assessment when you need an initial view of expected energy production before moving further into design or commercial evaluation.
A yield assessment can test the expected production of a proposed system using the available design and project inputs.
Model alternative layouts, equipment choices or design scenarios against the same project assumptions.
A solar production estimate consultant can provide the modelling and assumptions behind the expected energy yield.
Move to the solar PV design service when the system scope is already defined and the next need is detailed design work.
Agree the deliverables directly with the talent. They may include:
The exact outputs depend on the scope of the job.
Choose a talent whose experience matches the system, project stage and modelling requirements.
Useful when the yield assessment forms part of a wider renewable energy project decision.
Useful when the work focuses on the proposed PV system, layout and expected production.
Useful when solar production needs to be considered alongside storage, grid or wider power-system requirements.
Explain what you need the assessment to help you understand or decide. For example:
Tell the talent what project information is available. This may include:
Agree what the assessment includes, such as:
Explore previous work involving solar PV systems, project types or modelling requirements similar to yours.
Ask how the talent will organise the site, equipment and system information before producing the yield estimate.
Understand which inputs will be used, which assumptions need confirmation and how uncertainties will be shown.
Confirm what you will receive at the end of the assessment and how the outputs will be presented.
A solar yield assessment can support project planning and comparison.
Agree the purpose, scope and deliverables rather than assuming that one modelling output answers every later project decision.
The scope and effort can depend on:
The solar yield assessment can be agreed separately from the detailed PV design, grid, storage or implementation work that may follow.
The talent sets their own professional rate, and the employer and talent agree the commercial terms directly.
Current VirtualMasst platform charges are listed on Pricing.
Describe the site, proposed solar PV system, available design information, modelling purpose and timeline. Then explore profiles, start a conversation and choose the talent whose experience fits the assessment.
