An income model can be undermined by the party obligated to deliver it.
Underwrite the EPC counterparty: not only the equipment specification.
Confirm whether the contracting entity has a real balance sheet or is a thinly capitalized project LLC. Review performance and payment bonds, parent guarantees or letters of credit, and liquidated damages tied to delay against the activation date in the model.
Tie retainage and milestone releases to documented testing, not mere energization. Define warranty administration, later-year service-call response obligations, and assignment rights on sale, refinance, or receivership.
A thinly capitalized installer creates unsecured operating risk inside an income model. When completion or service fails, the reserve line: not the contractor: funds the fix.
Rooftops Into Revenue™ treats the roof as infrastructure. That requires enforceable obligations behind the Utility Margin Capture strategy. The asset is income, not panels.
