The valuation of solar energy projects is a complex subject and is a source of tension between regulators, developers and debt and equity investors.
The market approach is typically developed in valuing solar assets when a sufficient number of adequately comparable assets have recently transferred ownership, and valuation metrics for the transactions can be obtained.
According to appraisal standards, when valuing equipment like solar facilities, appraisers should consider three valuation approaches: the market approach, cost approach, and income approach. Then they can determine their final opinion of value.
