Due Diligence

Provide lenders with peace of mind, evaluate risks before acquisition.

Technical Due Diligence for Solar farm and BESS projects

Critical to the success of a project is that all potential risks have been thoroughly assessed. Enhar’s Technical Due Diligence services provide a detailed independent technical assessment of projects that can be used to satisfy financial institutions of their investment associated with project acquisitions.

Enhars due diligence reviews are comprehensive and target all the key technical aspects of the project including site location and environmental permit considerations, grid connection status, energy yield estimates, technology and equipment selection, design reviews, contracting arrangements, project schedules, budgets, permitting and approvals, operation and maintenance schedules and costs.

This can include project site visits, equipment manufacturer audits including factory visits, detailed on site equipment inspections, construction monitoring, and verification of completion.

The engineers at Enhar are experienced in taking projects through land, permits, engineering and grid phases so are able to rank risks for project acquisitions with a balanced pragmatic approach.

Having fully considered all the technical and relevant due diligence information, Enhar present a detailed report of our findings with a set of conclusions and recommendations which are relevant and appropriate for the project and parties involved.

If you want to be sure your project is setup for success, have Enhar complete the due diligence.

Additional Services

Full Scope Utility Services

There’s a lot to having the idea for solar to actually generating energy. We can help you through every step of the way.

Land Aquisition

Secure optimum land where grid and development approval prospects are strong

Land Aquisition

Need to secure land for your battery, wind or solar projects in Australia? ‍

Competition for grid capacity and land is fierce.

Enhar targets strategic grid capacity locations where suitable land is available to secure the right land in the right locations. This includes lower value land close to substations and transmission lines, with unrestrictive planning zoning, suitable terrain and wind/solar resources.

Our team researches landowners carefully before calling and visiting so we can build trust and get down to business.

Through experienced landowner negotiation, Enhar secures Lease Option agreements which are commercially sound and pavethe way for long term trust.

Noise Reduced Layouts

Noise Reduced Layout design to de-risk Your Battery Project

Noise Reduced Layouts

Enhar specializes in Noise Reduced Layout design to support battery energy storage systems (BESS) through site selection and Development Approval phases, with a focus on balancing capacity, constructability and noise compliance. Our assessments inform both land acquisition decisions and post-acquisition design refinements, identifying noise-related risks early to ensure smoother regulatory approvals, reduced amenity impacts or local communiteis and minimize costly noise mitigation being 'bolted on' to project designs.

We guide clients to select sites with sufficient distance to sensitive receptors and to select high performing equipment brands with verified quieter performance backed by credible noise testing. Once land acquisition is advanced, if noise challenges persist, Enhar refines layout designs to achieve compliance with EPA noise limits. We collaborate with leading acoustic consultants who use Enhar's optimised designs as inputs to their acoustic reports for submission to planning authorities, increasing the project's ability to achieve noise compliance, avoid operational curtailment and still maintain project capacity and constructability.
