Customized Support for Critical Project Decisions
Solar and energy storage decisions are becoming harder to make with confidence. Markets, regulations, suppliers, and technologies are changing quickly, while project teams are often expected to act before every risk is fully understood.
Intertek CEA provides customized consulting to help clients evaluate complex situations, clarify the risks that matter, and make better-informed commercial decisions. Each scope is built around the specific question, timeline, and level of diligence the project requires.
What problem are you trying to solve?
FEOC Risk Assessment
Identify where FEOC-related risk may affect your project.
Intertek CEA evaluates the supplier, product, corporate relationships, and available evidence to identify potential FEOC exposure. The review can scale from desktop analysis to supplier documentation, supply-chain mapping, and optional on-site verification.
What this helps you decide:
- Whether a supplier or product may introduce FEOC-related risk
- Where additional documentation or diligence is needed
- What to address before procurement decisions are finalized
Bankability Reviews
Understand the supplier behind the equipment.
Intertek CEA provides an independent assessment of a supplier's corporate profile, financial position, market track record, product and technology maturity, manufacturing capabilities, quality systems, and warranty framework. Factory-level diligence can be added when the project requires it.
What this helps you decide:
- Whether the supplier and equipment present an acceptable level of project risk
- How the supplier compares with relevant industry peers
- What further diligence or risk controls should be requested
Domestic Content Verification
Strengthen the documented basis for your domestic content position.
Intertek CEA reviews the selected pathway, project components, supplier evidence, origin claims, and cost information where applicable. Findings, assumptions, supporting documents, and open items are organized into a clearer review package.
What this helps you decide:
- Whether the available evidence supports the planned domestic content position
- Which supplier claims or documents require follow-up
- How to strengthen the file before financing diligence or future audit support
Support for decisions that do not fit a standard report
Intertek CEA can build a focused scope around sourcing, transactions, technology, or market strategy—using PV and ESS market intelligence to answer the commercial question in front of your team.
Supply Localization & Procurement Strategy
Build a sourcing strategy grounded in current value-chain conditions.
Intertek CEA analyzes regional manufacturing capacity, supplier availability, incentives, bill-of-material options, and supplier capabilities to develop a sourcing approach aligned with project requirements.
What this helps you decide:
- Which regions and suppliers best fit the project's requirements
- How localization, availability, cost, and schedule trade-offs compare
- How procurement should respond to current market conditions
Commercial Due Diligence
Test the commercial case before committing capital or entering a partnership.

What this helps you decide:
- Whether the commercial case is supported by market evidence
- Which assumptions or dependencies carry the greatest risk
- What issues should be resolved before proceeding
Technology Due Diligence
Assess whether the technology is mature, scalable, and commercially aligned.
Intertek CEA evaluates product and technology maturity, manufacturing readiness, technical roadmaps, licensing considerations, technology-transfer plans, and competitive positioning.
What this helps you decide:
- Whether the technology is ready for scale and the intended application
- How it compares with relevant alternatives
- Which technical or commercial risks require mitigation
Management Strategy
Turn market intelligence into a practical strategic direction.
Intertek CEA brings together market, policy, supplier, and competitive intelligence to evaluate strategic options for market entry, positioning, and business planning.
What this helps you decide:
