Project Financing

Since its creation, Solairedirect put structured finance at the heart of the company’s knowledge and developed an unrivalled experience in France:

  • More than half billion Euros raised for financing solar projects  (non-recourse debt financing and equity), a significant amount in the solar sector)
  • Participation of Solairedirect in the project capital
  • Large pool of national and international investors and bankers committed to Solairedirect’s projects
  • Creation of long-term financial products (shareholders loan, convertible bonds, mezzanine, etc.) aimed at financing the assets to lower the cost of kWh
  • Extensive knowledge of negotiation and implementation of debt finance with high financial leverage (ratio equity/ debt up to 10/90)

Solairedirect’s experience in structured finance creates a highly differentiating asset to win new turnkey contracts and raise funds in France and the Sunbelt countries.
