Assess the real potential of a photovoltaic project before committing time and capital.
Encore supports PV investors and operators in the preliminary stages of analysis, feasibility assessment and project development, with a focus on technical constraints, permitting procedures, grid connection and economic sustainability.
The quality of the first checks determines the strength of the project. A well-structured analysis helps identify critical issues, opportunities and priorities before the project enters more demanding and costly stages.

Not every photovoltaic opportunity automatically becomes a sound project. Site conditions, constraints, energy yield, grid connection, permitting, layout and the economic model all need to be assessed.
- Preliminary analysis of the site, available surfaces and constraints.
- Assessment of technical and energy potential.
- Support with layout, yield estimates and initial design assumptions.
- Review of grid connection, permitting and authorisation-related issues.
- Identification of the main risks before advanced development begins.
From initial opportunity to developable project
The feasibility stage turns an idea, a site or a pipeline into a project that can be understood, assessed and developed.
Assessment of the area or asset
Preliminary analysis of location, available surfaces, accessibility, technical constraints, interferences and overall site compatibility.
Photovoltaic potential
Assessment of expected energy yield, possible configurations, preliminary layout and sizing assumptions.
Critical issues to manage
Identification of the main factors that may affect timing, costs, authorisations, grid connection and project feasibility.
The checks that strengthen project development
Technical feasibility and layout
We assess the initial technical conditions to understand which plant configuration can be consistent with the site and with the investor’s objectives.
- Analysis of available surfaces and physical constraints.
- Preliminary layout assumptions.
- Yield estimate and preliminary sizing.
- Initial review of interferences and technical issues.
Permitting and constraints
The authorisation path can determine the timing and feasibility of a project. An initial review of constraints helps avoid development routes that are not sustainable.
- Preliminary constraint assessment.
- Review of the potentially applicable permitting procedure.
- Support with document preparation.
- Identification of issues requiring further investigation.
Grid and connection point
Grid connection is one of the key elements in the feasibility of a PV project. It must be considered from the earliest stages.
- Initial assessment of the grid connection context.
- Support with the collection of technical data.
- Analysis of potential grid-related issues.
- Coordination of information useful for project development.
Technical and economic scenario
A feasibility assessment should help determine whether the project can support the required investment, risks, timing and expected returns.
- Preliminary estimate of energy yield and revenue potential.
- Assessment of the main technical and development costs.
- Comparison of scenarios and design alternatives.
- Support in deciding whether to proceed or revise the project.
Decide earlier, decide better
Feasibility is not about producing documents for their own sake: it is about reducing uncertainty and guiding development, investment or acquisition decisions.
Opportunity selection
It helps distinguish projects with real potential from those with significant technical or permitting issues.
Risk control
It makes it possible to identify critical elements before they generate costs, delays or design choices that are difficult to correct.
Development priorities
It helps define which activities should start immediately, which require further investigation and which should remain on hold.
How we develop an initial PV assessment
Site information, available documents, objectives, expected capacity, known constraints and preliminary data.
Assessment of surfaces, accessibility, technical constraints, interferences and possible configurations.
Permitting framework, grid connection, energy yield, preliminary layout and critical issues.
Development of a technical and economic reading that supports the decision on whether to proceed.
Definition of next steps, priorities and further analyses required.
Note
PV feasibility and development activities may concern single sites, project pipelines, ground-mounted plants, industrial rooftops or already identified assets. The scope is defined according to the project stage and the level of detail required.
Do you have a photovoltaic site or pipeline to assess?
We can start with an initial technical, permitting and economic analysis to understand whether the project can be developed.
