Analysis

The Orb Energy Solar Program is a Gold Standard solar electrification and water-heating project in India with a confirmed investment-test additionality and no reported reversal events. However, the project carries moderate risk from a project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction supported only by a 'deemed negligible' label, an unverified usage rate, and a very large volume of corrective actions and cross-document contradictions that undermine confidence in the underlying data quality.
