This tool provides an introductory guideline to support off-takers, solar developers, EPCs and investors involved in the commercial and industrial business sector to understand the various financing options for captive solar PV electricity generation projects available in the market and to support them in choosing the optimum solution for their needs.

The aim of this Tool 3 is to describe how to use a sample financial model that has been created under Component 2. This document also provides information that needs to be considered in order to develop an “ownership-based” solar PV model. The financial model can be availed upon request.

Tool 4 provides guidelines for the technical development of the PV captive solar installations, based on the best practices currently adopted by the industry and developed by international organizations such as IFC (International Finance Corporation), IEA (International Energy Agency), the German cooperation agency GIZ and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)’s CEDRO 4 programme.
