Solar Panels & Modules Financing

Solar module manufacturers buy cells, glass, EVA, and frames in volume, build to utility and EPC project timelines, and invoice on milestone or extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the line running through the gap.

You're assembling solar modules against utility, EPC, and developer demand. Cells, glass, EVA, backsheets, and frames are bought in volume, and the customer pays on milestone or net-60+ terms while the supply chain wants cash now.

IRA-driven demand has stretched the whole pipeline, so you're ramping capacity and buying cells in volume while project finance closes on its own timeline.

We match solar module manufacturers to factoring against utility and EPC receivables, PO financing on cell and component buys, and equipment loans for the next stringer, layup line, or tester.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Solar Panels & Modules files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Signed supply agreement or project PO

    Underwriters want the EPC, utility, or developer PO and any milestone billing schedule documented for the volume being funded.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list

    Utility and EPC concentration is common and noted. Milestone and retainage lines are separated from the advanceable balance.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials and capacity detail

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of module capacity, utilization, and customer mix.

  • Cell, glass, and component supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your cell, glass, EVA, backsheet, and frame suppliers directly against confirmed orders.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Stringers, layup lines, laminators, testers, and automation cells finance cleanly — new and used.
