One of the features of project finance is that a solar power plant is transferred to a legal entity created specifically for a photovoltaic project (Special Purpose Vehicle, SPV). The term " project finance " is defined in the literature as financing of an independent, clearly separate economic unit (project).
The solar project will receive the planned funds only if it meets the expectations of investors. In the case of banks or financial institutions, the term bankability is used, summarizing the numerous criteria used to assess the feasibility of financing photovoltaic projects of various types and sizes.
The construction of solar power plants through project finance refers to the so-called structured finance. This model is characterized by the presence of several partners. Each participant in such a project requires a high degree of awareness and rights to control and intervene at the time of a possible crisis in the project.
The choice of financing instruments depends on many factors, such as project risks, SPV structure, investors' expectations of profitability and risk, project scale, political and economic conditions in the country and preferences of the project initiators. Are you looking for funding sources for a future solar power plant?
The projects in this funding program support innovation in photovoltaic (PV) materials across the supply chain, as well as the development of new dual-use solar technologies to create new markets for American products.
Financial terms are agreed between the interested parties individually, depending on the amount requested by the project initiator. When it comes to applying for a bank loan to finance the construction of a solar power plant, a company can turn to one of the many commercial banks that finance renewable energy projects.
