Solar Project Finance Advisory for Developers Ready to Build
You have the site, the interconnection queue position and a buyer for the power. What stands between your project and notice to proceed is a lender who says yes.
Financely structures solar debt and arranges it with lenders who already fund this asset class. We work for the developer, not the lender, and we tell you plainly what a credit committee will think of your project before it reaches one.
What lenders check before they fund a solar project
Solar lenders approve projects that have removed their main risks on paper. Most declined requests fail on one of four points, and each one can be fixed before you approach the market.
Revenue certainty
A signed power purchase agreement with a creditworthy offtaker, or a clear merchant and hedging strategy. Lenders size debt against contracted cash flow, so the offtake contract sets the ceiling on what you can borrow.
Interconnection and permits
An executed interconnection agreement, known upgrade costs and permits in hand or on a credible timeline. An open interconnection question is one of the fastest ways to stop a credit process.
Construction risk
A fixed-price EPC contract with a contractor that has a track record, plus performance guarantees and a realistic schedule. Lenders want to know who pays if the project runs late or over budget.
Energy yield and the model
An independent energy yield assessment with P50 and P90 cases, and a financial model that shows debt service coverage holds in the downside. Optimistic yield assumptions are the first thing an independent engineer will challenge.
How Financely raises your solar debt
We assess the project. We review your offtake, interconnection, EPC, permits and model, and identify what a lender will flag. You get a straight answer on whether the project is financeable now and what has to change if it isn't.
We structure the financing. We match the instrument to the project, whether that is construction-to-term debt, back-leverage, a bridge against tax credit proceeds, or credit enhancement where the project needs support to clear a lender's threshold. Then we build the package lenders expect, from the credit memo to the data room.
We arrange it with lenders who fit. We approach only lenders from our network of more than 12,700 verified capital providers whose mandate matches your technology, project size and jurisdiction. That means fewer conversations that go nowhere and a faster route to a term sheet.
