Abstract: A system and method for providing value assurance products and services in the context of distributed power projects is presented. Some aspects relate to describing and estimating the remaining life of a project or components of a multi-component distributed power project. The system and method also allow for calculation of residual values of one or more components of the multi-component project, and thereby allow for more economical underwriting policies and more realistic financial risk descriptions, which further allow for mitigating said financial risks. A variety of data are taken as inputs to a processing engine that uses the data inputs as parameters of an economic model and presents outputs from the model to clients over a network. Exemplary inputs include operational data, historical data and jurisdictional data describing rules and regulatory constraints in the jurisdiction in which the project resides.
