Cuts Diligence From Two Months To One Week
The Challenge
As Standard Solar's acquisition pipeline grew, so did the complexity of diligence. Each new project arrived with hundreds of files—leases, permits, interconnection agreements, and engineering drawings—each containing critical deal information. Reviews were rigorous but slow, often taking months and involving multiple teams and external counsel.
The Solution
By deploying Spark AI, Standard Solar transformed their diligence process. As Patrick Chandler, Senior Project Manager, put it: "You can't throw more bodies at it overnight, but we were able to throw more Spark licenses at it overnight." The platform enabled in-house teams to complete reviews previously handled by external counsel, with every answer traceable to its source document.
Results
“Using Spark, I was able to finish a project in days that otherwise would have taken 3 weeks. Spark is a great tool for navigating complex documents without feeling overwhelmed. It saves time, energy, and is very simple to use.”
