Commercial solar project under review

Funding & investment readiness

Preparing solar projects for funding review

Stonegrid is an engineering firm, not a lender or credit provider. What we do is prepare the technical and financial evidence that funders ask for, and help you compare how each funding route affects your cash position.

Funding route comparison

We model the same project under different structures so the trade-offs are visible before you approach anyone.

  • Outright cash purchase
  • Term loan or asset finance
  • Lease / rental structures
  • PPA or energy-as-a-service

Lender-ready documentation

A single pack covering the technical design, production model, financial model and assumptions register.

  • Design and equipment schedule
  • P50 / P90 production model
  • 20-year cash flow and DSCR

Credit-relevant evidence

We help assemble the supporting technical evidence typically requested during assessment.

  • Verified consumption history
  • Compliance and approvals status
  • Operating cost assumptions

Risk register

Technical, performance and delivery risks stated openly, with mitigation, rather than left for a reviewer to find.

  • Performance and yield risk
  • Grid and approval risk
  • Equipment and warranty position

Engagement support

We can attend technical sessions with your bank, funder or internal investment committee to answer engineering questions.

  • Technical due diligence responses
  • Model walkthroughs
  • Design clarifications

Post-approval delivery

Once a project proceeds, the same model becomes the baseline for procurement, commissioning and performance verification.

  • Procurement scheduling
  • Commissioning evidence
  • Performance versus model

Important: Stonegrid Engineering does not provide, arrange, underwrite or guarantee finance, and cannot promise that any application will be approved or on what terms. Funding decisions rest entirely with the financial institution or investor concerned, based on their own credit criteria. Our role is limited to engineering, modelling and documentation support.
