Environmental Impact
Our residential portfolio in Switzerland is projected to offset 650 tons of CO2 per year for every MWp of installed capacity. This calculation is based on a specific CO2 offset of 560 g CO2 per kWh of solar energy produced, assuming full integration of the Swiss electricity markets into the European electricity markets.
Challenges & Solutions
Implementing a residential solar PPA portfolio presents a series of challenges, including the necessity for seamless two-way communication with sites, addressing portfolio fragmentation from an asset management perspective, and structuring financing for individually small investments.
Youdera has proactively addressed these obstacles by implementing a dedicated gateway with independent internet connections to improve communication, establishing partnerships with reliable local partners for efficient installation and O&M activities, and adopting batch financing strategies while emphasizing portfolio performance to instill confidence among senior lenders.
The key enabler in overcoming these challenges was our proprietary Youdera software, designed to ensure the efficient management of distributed energy through technology and the automation of key processes.
