Solar, EV charging, retrofit and utility work all bill through applications for payment and stage valuations. Invoice finance advances against certified work so materials and wages are covered long before the main contractor pays.
The specifics that make or break a facility in this sector.
You bill via interim applications and stage valuations, not simple sales invoices. A lender must be able to fund against certified applications, not reject them for lacking a standard invoice.
Main contractors and EPCs commonly hold 3 to 5% retention until practical completion and again after the defects period. Lenders discount retention until it is due, so structure the facility around net certified value.
Work often sits behind one or two large EPCs or utilities. Underwriters watch concentration and insolvency risk down the chain, so bad debt protection on key debtors is often worth building in.
Panels, batteries, chargers and cable are bought and installed before certification. The right facility bridges the gap between spend on site and the certified valuation being approved.
