ADDRESSING THE BANKABILITY AND INVESTABILITY OF SOLAR
Summary
As established solar markets
mature and new markets
emerge, it is important to
recognize the varied and
evolving criteria for
bankability and investability
of solar projects, and how
these criteria can be fulfilled.
This session presents the
latest best practices and
solutions for developing
high-quality, risk-mitigated
solar projects. It also
explores financing trends,
such as project ratings which
enable funds to be raised
through capital markets.
