PainReform’s DeepSolar Launches Smart TDD, a Next-Generation Solar Due Diligence Service Targeting the $60B+ Global Solar Asset M&A Market

TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PainReform Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRFX) today announced that its DeepSolar business unit has launched Smart TDD, an advanced solar Technical Due Diligence (“TDD”) service designed to provide faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive assessments of solar asset performance and risk. The newly enhanced service expands DeepSolar’s audit capabilities to support independent power producers (IPPs), infrastructure funds, operators, lenders, and insurers at every major lifecycle milestone of a solar asset.

Solar continues to experience historic global growth, with more than $500 billion invested in 2024 and over $60 billion in solar assets changing hands annually. At the same time, tens of gigawatts of capacity are reaching warranty expiration or showing mid-life underperformance—driving urgent demand for reliable, data-driven technical assessments. Yet most traditional TDD processes still rely on partial sampling, manual inspections, and over-simplified models that often miss underlying problems, extend deal cycles, and increase financial risk.

“Solar energy production technical due diligence today is often superficial, incomplete, and slow,” said Ehud Geller, Chairman of PainReform. “With Smart TDD, we believe that DeepSolar is offering the market something fundamentally different: a fast, independent, full-picture audit so investors and owners can truly understand what they are acquiring, operating, or insuring—and unlock more value.”

Smart TDD is engineered to address the longstanding shortcomings of conventional TDD by combining four key elements:

• Complete data coverage: auditing 100% of components and operational history, not just sampling at one time point
• Advanced diagnostics: fusing AI-driven analytics with physics-based modeling and expert engineering review
• Actionable output: clearly prioritized findings organized by financial impact and severity
• Fast turnaround: preliminary results delivered within days of data upload, reducing deal friction

With these capabilities, Smart TDD supports all major checkpoints in a solar plant’s life:

• Commissioning: verify build quality and confirm compliance with acceptance criteria
• Warranty expiry: identify hidden defects and potential claims before constructor coverage ends
• Underperformance: diagnose and address the sources of revenue loss
• Asset acquisition: provide buyers and financiers with a clear, detailed, fast, and independent picture of asset condition

“The growth of solar as the world’s leading source of new energy capacity has created a massive secondary market and lifecycle maintenance challenge,” Geller added. “DeepSolar’s Smart TDD is built with the goal of meeting that need with a level of completeness, accuracy, and speed that the market has not seen before.”

The launch of Smart TDD reinforces DeepSolar’s role as a trusted analytics partner for the global solar sector. As aging assets face increasing performance issues and M&A activity continues to accelerate, the demand for high-quality technical due diligence services is expected to rise sharply, and DeepSolar’s enhanced platform is designed to deliver at scale.
