The equipment need

The company was developing renewable energy installation projects, the cost of which was borne entirely by its own funds.

Each new site mobilized significant cash during the long months separating the order from the commissioning.

Management was looking for a financing structure to spread the burden over the operating life of the equipment and to retain a purchase option at the end of the contract.

  • Inverters and connecting equipment
  • Monitoring and counting systems

The support described in the project

We have retained a rental with option of purchase over 60 months, backed by an amount between $573,000–$1,030,000.

The disbursement schedule was based on the progress of the facilities, with a lease payment triggered upon receipt of the equipment.

A purchase option at the end of the contract has been negotiated so that the company retains ownership of the production assets once the financing has been cleared.

The reported operational outcome

Financing was established without initial input and without using existing banking lines.

The lease payments were aligned with the revenues generated by the business of the facilities, thus maintaining the liquidity balance.

The company was able to link several projects in parallel and renewed the financing structure on its following operations.

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.
