Solar Project Financing for Developers | Fast Capital for Bankable Projects
Solar Project Financing for Developers
Solar projects require serious capital. Between land control, permitting, interconnection, EPC contracts, and equipment orders, developers face large upfront costs long before revenue begins. Traditional lenders often require projects to be fully de-risked. That creates a funding gap for real developers with executable, bankable projects. Financely steps in where banks hesitate.
What is Solar Project Financing?
Solar project financing refers to capital raised to support development, construction, and early operation of solar farms or rooftop portfolios. Unlike equity raises or joint ventures, structured financing provides debt or quasi-equity solutions tailored to get the project built and producing.
Financely provides financing structures that serve developers with signed PPAs, EPC agreements, site control, and interconnection in place. These sponsors need execution capital — not speculative funding.
Where Solar Developers Face Gaps
Developers face real shortfalls even when projects are advanced:
• Equipment deposits and orders before tax equity or long-term debt closes
• Construction funding when banks are delayed or require project completion milestones
• Pre-NTP funding to cover interconnection, permitting, and early-stage expenses
Waiting on traditional capital means risking project timelines or losing offtake partners. Financely provides sponsor-friendly structures that solve these timing and liquidity issues.
Financely’s Approach to Solar Financing
Financely works with private capital partners to offer flexible capital for solar sponsors with real projects. Our solutions include:
• Pre-construction loans and credit lines secured by site control and contracts
• Construction bridge loans and progress draws backed by EPC contracts
• Completion and stabilization financing aligned to tax equity or take-out loans
Each transaction is structured based on project stage, offtake terms, and developer profile. We are not brokers — we underwrite and distribute solar deals directly to decision-makers who fund them fast.

A developer with site control and a 15-year PPA faced a $3.8 million gap to begin procurement and site work. Banks were months away from closing tax equity and construction debt. Financely stepped in and delivered a flexible sponsor loan in 14 days. The project broke ground on time and refinanced the bridge after construction reached 40% completion.
