What You Receive

A complete, audit-ready test package

Everything you need to demonstrate compliance and close out your project — with no black boxes.

  • Auto-generated PDF report

    Structured, ASTM-compliant, ready to share with investors or offtakers.

  • Full data export

    Raw filtered dataset, regression outputs, and test statistics — yours to keep.

  • Live project access

    Your project stays in the platform. Review results, explore the analysis, run what-ifs.

Four Steps from Data to Signed-Off Report

We handle the methodology. You handle the project. No spreadsheet wrangling, no back-and-forth on data formats.

1

Share Your Data

Send us your measured timeseries data (inverter power, POA irradiance, temperature, wind speed) and your PVsyst hourly simulation output.

2

We Configure the Test

We set up the test parameters — reporting conditions, regression window, filtering criteria — in alignment with your contractual requirements.

3

Test Execution & QA

The test runs on the Heliotest platform. We review the results, check data quality flags, and validate the output before delivering anything.

4

Delivery & Handover

You receive your PDF report, data export, and full access to the live project in the platform — with complete traceability of every calculation.

Built for C&I Solar Teams Who Need Results

The managed service is the right fit if any of these sound familiar.

Solar Developer

Proving system performance to your offtaker

You have a PPA with a capacity guarantee clause and need a defensible, compliant test result to close out your project — without tying up your engineering team.

EPC Contractor

Delivering on contractual performance obligations

You've commissioned the system and need the capacity test as part of project handover. You want a repeatable process you can trust across a growing pipeline of sites.

Asset Manager / Investor

Independently verifying system output

You're acquiring or monitoring assets and need a third-party capacity assessment with full methodological transparency — not a number on a slide deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the managed testing service

At minimum: measured AC power output, plane-of-array (POA) irradiance and ambient temperature in a timeseries format and the as-built PVsyst model. We accept CSV uploads or can connect directly to SolarEdge or AlsoEnergy via API.

Typically 3–5 business days from data receipt to final report delivery, depending on data quality and the complexity of the test configuration.

That's where platform access becomes invaluable. Rather than just receiving a "fail" result, you can explore the analysis in Heliotest to understand exactly which data points drove the outcome and why.

Yes. The managed service gives you a live project in the platform. Once you're familiar with the tool and process, you can upgrade to a self-serve plan and run your own tests going forward — at a fraction of the per-site cost.

Heliotest implements the ASTM E2848 standard (with ASTM E2939 guidance for reporting conditions). If your contract specifies this standard, we're fully aligned. For bespoke contractual requirements, reach out before submitting.

Traditional consultants deliver a report with no visibility into the underlying process. With Heliotest, the methodology is enforced by the platform — you can see every filter, every regression, every result. It's auditable by design.
