Capital Deployment
Funds are released in tranches aligned to construction milestones. Your EPC maintains cash flow while the offtaker benefits from immediate savings.
Capital Solutions
Funding Models Engineered for C&I Solar
Every commercial and industrial project has unique capital requirements. We structure bespoke funding that aligns with your offtake profile, EPC timeline, and risk appetite.
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
Zero-Capex model for offtakers. We structure long-term electricity contracts where the funder owns the asset and sells power at a discount to grid tariffs. EPCs get paid upfront.
Asset Finance & Term Lending
Traditional asset-backed lending for property owners who wish to own their systems. Competitive rates, flexible tenors up to 15 years, and full EPC milestone-based drawdowns.
Blended & Structured Capital
Complex projects requiring layered capital — senior debt, mezzanine, and equity. Ideal for shopping malls, industrial parks, and multi-site community schemes.
EPC Working Capital Facilities
Short-term liquidity for EPCs to procure panels, inverters, and balance of system components while awaiting milestone payments or grid connection.
Green Bond & ESG-Linked Finance
Access to institutional green capital pools and sustainability-linked pricing. Lower cost of capital for projects with verified carbon reduction metrics.
Why Solar Connector
The EPC Funding Partner
We do not install panels. We do not sell inverters. We exist solely to connect proven EPCs with the right capital, structured the right way, so that more commercial and industrial solar gets built.
Deep EPC Understanding
We speak the language of construction timelines, grid connection queues, and balance-of-system procurement. Our structuring reflects real-world EPC cash flow cycles.
Institutional-Grade Compliance
Every funding package includes full EPC compliance, NERSA registration, municipal approvals, and grid connection agreements as standard.
Offtaker Credit Assessment
We conduct independent credit analysis on your offtaker — whether a shopping mall, factory, or body corporate — to ensure bankable revenue streams.
Transparent Fee Structure
No hidden costs. Our success fee is disclosed upfront and only payable on capital deployment. EPCs retain full control of their project margins.
