Global Life Sciences Solar Portfolio Assessment

A3 Consultancy, working in partnership with the CEO of Spiro Carbon, assessed more than 30 facilities across a global life sciences portfolio for phased solar deployment. Andrew led the technical and commercial analysis, combining site screening, preliminary system sizing, energy-cost analysis and financial modeling to compare opportunities and establish investment priorities. Results represented planning scenarios rather than deployed projects or realized returns.

The work in detail.

Global Life Sciences Solar Portfolio Assessment

From facility data to comparable opportunities

The assessment combined facility, utility and available site data with rooftop and ground-mounted solar screening. Andrew compared electricity rates, avoided costs and market conditions, evaluated indicative capital costs and available incentives, and developed preliminary system sizing and production estimates. Technical, commercial and data constraints informed which opportunities warranted closer examination.

A practical prioritization framework

Facility-level analysis supported a portfolio-ranking framework with technical and commercial constraints, development readiness and next-stage diligence recommendations. Payback, NPV and IRR were modeled as planning scenarios.

Assessment outcomes

The output helped identify where further investment and engineering were warranted. It does not establish that the sites were constructed or that modeled returns were realized. Client names, facility locations and sensitive commercial data remain confidential.
