Project finance
Financing that relies mainly on the project’s cash flow, for solar and storage.
ENERGY
Financing renewable energy projects: solar, storage and PPA
SBC helps property owners, industrial companies, kibbutzim, councils and developers finance solar and battery storage projects in Israel. We help choose between buying the system and a PPA, prepare the project file and compare project finance, bridging, refinancing and leasing offers from several lenders. The lenders set the terms, and our fee is success based.
Last updated:
A solar or storage project is financed on its own cash flow as much as on its owner. Lenders look at the site, the permits, the grid connection, the contractor and the power purchase agreement, and a well prepared file answers those questions before they are asked.
What we finance
Construction bridging
Financing during construction, until the project produces.
Refinancing
Replacing the financing of a project that already operates.
Equipment leasing
For systems, batteries and related equipment.
Equity partners
Investors for a single project or a portfolio.
Buy, PPA or a partnership
When you buy the system, you invest and receive the income or the saving. In a PPA, a developer builds and operates it on your roof or land, and you buy its power at an agreed price. Our solar calculator shows both views side by side, with yields and prices you enter.
How we work with you
Diagnosis
The site, the consumption and the model that fits.
Documents
Electricity bills, consumption profile, ownership or lease documents and the roof or land condition.
Submission and competition
The project goes to lenders that finance energy projects.
Negotiation and closing
Comparing offers and agreeing the financing structure.
Support after closing
Drawdowns, operation and refinancing when it makes sense.
What we need from you
- The last 12 electricity bills
- A consumption profile
- Ownership or lease documents
- Maps and the roof or land condition
- Contractor quotes, if you have them
Calculator
Solar project calculator: income, payback and PPA
The SBC solar calculator compares two models: buying the system, with yearly income, payback and net over the years, and a PPA, where a developer builds the system and you buy its power at a saving without investing. Yields, tariffs and prices are values you enter, and the result is an indication only.
An indication only, not an offer and not a commitment. Actual terms are set by the lender, based on the full file.
Depends on location, angle and shading. An example value; change it for the project.
As a percent of the investment.
The result
- First year income
- ₪384,000after O&M: ₪363,000
- Payback
- 3.9 yearsInvestment: ₪1,400,000
- Net over the period
- ₪7,120,485Return on investment: 509%
Investment: ₪1,400,000. First year income: ₪384,000. Payback: 3.9 years.
With a purchase you invest in the system and get the income or saving from its power, less O&M. Every price and yield here is an example to change, not an offer.
Purchase: ₪7,120,485. PPA: ₪1,884,476.
Questions and answers
What is a solar PPA?
A long term agreement to buy power from a system at an agreed price. In many PPAs a developer builds and operates the system, and the property owner buys its power without investing.
How do you finance a battery storage system?
Storage can be financed with the solar system or on its own, depending on its revenue model and the agreements around it.
How much does the advisory cost?
Our fee is success based, agreed in advance. The first review is free of charge.
Is financing guaranteed?
No. Each lender decides on its own, based on the full project file.
