Spain’s solar savings and what a buyer actually underwrites
Solar PV has cut Spain’s electricity costs by €17.02 billion over 18 months, according to pv magazine on 3 November.

System value and asset value are not the same number. The saving accrued to the system. The owner of a solar SPV is paid at the capture price, and that is the figure a buyer underwrites.
When we run a competitive process for a renewables SPV, the non-binding offers separate on three assumptions: the capture-price curve, the curtailment view and the merchant tail once any contract expires. Two buyers looking at the same asset rarely share a view on all three.
That spread is the reason to run a process rather than a single bilateral conversation. It shows the seller what the asset is worth to the owner best placed to hold it, not only to the first party who calls.
It also tells us who to match the asset with. A strategic buyer with a storage pipeline reads the solar hours differently from a financial buyer with a preference for long-dated contracts.
Sellers can prepare for this: a clean data room, a defensible set of price-curve scenarios and a stated position on hybridisation. Each one reduces the discount a buyer applies to uncertainty.
