We finance both solar plus storage projects as well as standalone storage projects. We know the asset class and can provide value with long-term, project-level debt. Our solar lending team members are experts in utility-scale and C&I solar, community solar and energy storage project financing nationwide.
The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project.
The development of an investment tax credit for stand-alone energy projects continues to be a goal of the industry. Experience has shown energy storage system to be covered under the Solar ITC, but only as a supporting piece of equipment, and precluding the use of the true potential of the energy storage asset.
These projects will have long-term predictable revenue streams. In addition, lenders may be willing to finance merchant cashflows, but with less leverage and subject to detailed market studies and cash sweeps. These trends for solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.
