The equipment need
A photovoltaic distributor supplied panels, inverters, structures and batteries to independent installers and solar small and medium-sized businesses.
The same constraint was systematically encountered by its customers: the lack of cash to settle the equipment before cashing the site.
Some of the goods were imported under direct supplier agreements, which made it difficult for a conventional financier to instruct them.
The distributor also wanted to be settled quickly after delivery, without bearing the credit granted to its customers.

The support described in the project
We have put in place a 60-month equipment lease covering the only material part, without forcing us to include the laying performance.
The imported origin of the goods was processed by a documentary check: the distributor's invoice, proof of delivery and serial numbers of the equipment.
The equipment remained invoiced by the distributor, paid by the financial agency after delivery, for files of $57,300–$115,000.
The reported operational outcome
The installers were equipped with cash without advance, the equipment being paid for by the leasing contract.
The distributor was paid within a few days after delivery, instead of waiting for his client to cash in the yard.
The rules of the game were clarified at the beginning: file fees, rental payments, purchase option and insurance.
The supply chain has been secured, with each supplier order backed by accepted funding.
Applying the experience to a new project
Use this case to identify the equipment, timing and ownership questions relevant to your own investment. The historical scope and term are specific to the project described. For a new U.S. project, identify the contracting business, installation state, supplier quote and preferred use period; available structures require a separate assessment.
