How BIR Provided Market Due Diligence on the Solar Energy Industry

In 2011 BIR was asked by a venture capital group to examine the impact of a potential disruptive technology on the solar energy industry. BIR analysts evaluated data from numerous sources, leveraging a number of analytical tools to help interpret the numbers. Following the review of the quantitative data, the BIR research team conducted dozens of interviews with key stakeholders in order to better understand the meaning behind the numbers. The result was an in-depth, objective evaluation of the impact the new technology would have on the industry.

The market due diligence provided the venture capital firm the additional assurance they were looking for; within months they had invested over $50M into the solar energy sector.
