SCARAB Score™

Why this score

Off-taker strength

88/100 · Weight 25%

Sector, size, payment behaviour signals and contract horizon.

Technical fit

90/100 · Weight 20%

Resource quality, load profile match, land or roof availability, grid interface.

Economic attractiveness

86/100 · Weight 20%

LCOE versus current tariff and diesel cost, savings and indicative payback.

Regulatory readiness

72/100 · Weight 15%

Self-generation and PPA framework, licensing path, currency and tax context.

Data confidence

64/100 · Weight 10%

Metering granularity, months of history and documentation provided.

Financing readiness

78/100 · Weight 10%

Plausible structure, sponsor capacity and appetite of matched financiers.

Signals

Strengths and open questions

  • Strong off-taker: long-running industrial site with stable output
  • Good solar resource and available land adjacent to the plant
  • Grid interface data incomplete — interconnection study required
  • Missing 12-month interval metering — sizing to be confirmed
  • Self-generation licence path to be confirmed with the regulator
