Robust financial frameworks to evaluate and structure clean energy projects
Sustainable Energy Advantage (SEA) develops financial models that bring discipline, transparency, and rigor to clean energy project evaluation. Designed by experienced market and finance professionals, these models translate complex project inputs—revenues, costs, taxes, capital structure, and policy assumptions—into clear, decision-ready financial outcomes.
SEA’s financial models support both high-level project screening and more detailed financial structuring, enabling stakeholders to evaluate after-tax cash flows, understand the interaction between equity and tax benefits, and assess project viability under different assumptions. With flexible inputs and transparent calculations, users can test scenarios, compare structures, and understand key drivers of project performance.
By providing a consistent, defensible framework for financial analysis, SEA’s models help developers, investors, and advisors move from uncertainty to insight—supporting informed decisions across project development, investment evaluation, and portfolio planning.
SEA’s financial modeling tools are available off-the-shelf in the SEA Store — so you can access these powerful screening tools at any time. Choose between:
- Annual Model – Best for high-level project evaluation and strategic planning. This simple, yet robust, financial model provides annual project-level after-tax cash flows and assumes a single equity sponsor monetizes both cash and tax benefits.
OR
- Quarterly Model – Ideal for projects requiring detailed, transaction-level screening. This screening model includes more granular inputs than the annual summary screening model and provides quarterly cash- and tax-oriented returns for both sponsor and tax equity participants (under either time-based or yield-based partnership flips) and allows for maximum sustainable debt at the project level, if desired.
Visit the SEA Store to purchase the financial model that fits your project’s level of complexity and gain immediate access to proven tools for confident, data-driven clean energy investment decisions.
