Audit Analysis

A straightforward 3 MWp grid-connected solar project under CDM with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid emission factor baseline. Multiple material findings during validation (calibration delays, PDD discrepancies, investment analysis corrections) were addressed but reduce confidence in the underlying data. The project delivered approximately 95% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation over the monitored period, indicating conservative crediting.

Red Flags

  • Energy meter calibration was performed only twice during the monitoring period instead of annually as required by the registered plan, necessitating a conservative ±1% MPE adjustment
  • Discrepancies between the PDD description and actual site conditions regarding solar arrays and module types were identified during validation
  • Investment analysis spreadsheet and financial parameters required multiple corrections and clarifications before VVB sign-off
  • No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented for this CDM project, and no reversal event data is available
