In Episode 16 of Power Players by Origis®, host Michael Eyman discusses the history and future

trends of risk assessment and allocation for solar assets with Jason Kaminsky, co-founder and CEO of

kWh Analytics.

During their conversation, Kaminsky and Eyman discussed right sizing risk allocation. Three key

takeaways:

1. Risk for solar assets is being spread to more parties. It’s no longer just origination bankers

and developers, but also insurance companies, O&M operators and tax equity buyers.

2. Historically, solar projects have needed protection from physical damage and

underperformance, leading to financial losses. New provisions in the IRA create a blending

of these risks that have buyers demanding better models for production forecasts.

3. More data on weather risk mitigation and asset production are improving those forecast

models and creating an overall more reliable and resilient solar asset.
