Solar Project Bankability Review
Most solar projects that fail to raise capital fail on issues that could have been found earlier: a weak PPA clause, an optimistic yield case, a gap in the EPC contract or a model that lenders will not accept.
FG Capital Advisors reviews your project the way a credit committee will before you go to market and gives you a written list of what to fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a bankability review cover?
The revenue contracts, technical inputs, construction and operating contracts, permits and grid, and the financial model, all reviewed against what lenders and investors require.
Is this the same as an independent engineer report?
No. An independent engineer covers technical matters. Our review covers how the whole project will be seen in credit review, and points to where technical work is needed.
Can the review lead to a capital raise?
Yes. Many projects move from the review into financing preparation and placement.
