Leaders in technical due diligence for solar and energy storage

VDE Americas provides technical advisory and risk mitigation services to owners, financiers, project developers, operators, equipment providers, and insurance companies working on large solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) transactions.

We are the world’s leading specialist in hail risk analysis for utility-scale solar projects.

In 2023, we celebrated ten years of solar and energy storage project transaction support in the Americas.
