PROJECT PURCHASE

In order to achieve its ambitious goals, GÉNÉRALE DU SOLAIRE pursues a strategy based partly on external growth. GÉNÉRALE DU SOLAIRE acquires regularly photovoltaic projects and therefore, it offers external developers or development partners the opportunity to implement their projects.

Drawing on extensive knowledge in developing, engineering, procurement and construction, operation and maintenance, and project finance, GÉNÉRALE DU SOLAIRE’s experts (engineers, lawyers, financial advisers, etc.) have developed an audit methodology which assesses and summarises the technical, legal and financial elements of any photovoltaic project in a timely manner.

Project finance

A project can be financed through private equity, alternative financing or non-recourse debt. Over the years, GÉNÉRALE DU SOLAIRE has initiated and developed strong and lasting relationships with renowned French banks specialised in photovoltaic project finance.

The project finance team can secure and optimise the financial structure for all operations, and this, in a evolutive context. By the end of 2018, the team has raised more than 150 million € in non-recourse debts and alternative funding.

GÉNÉRALE DU SOLAIRE also offers crowdfunding solutions thanks to strong partnership with several crowdfunding platforms specialised in renewables energies. These solutions are highly demanded by collectivites which are eager to involve their inhabitants in sustainable projects.
