Complex Risk: Solar Projects

Launching a solar project is filled with challenges – finding financing, hedging against production shortfalls, securing contracts with counterparties and finding contractors that can move the project forward.

In addition, a solar project is uniquely different from a typical construction project:

  • Short duration of the project in proportion to the dollar amount
  • High component cost 50-60%+
  • Efficiency guarantees
  • Longer warranty periods
