Is purchase order financing a good fit for renewable energy equipment manufacturing?

Yes — purchase order financing is one of the programs we most commonly place for renewable energy equipment manufacturing shops. Manufacturers who have a confirmed purchase order from a creditworthy buyer but need capital to buy materials or pay suppliers.

How fast can a renewable energy equipment manufacturing shop get funded?

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. Every program we place is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.

Can a solar or battery manufacturer factor utility and EPC receivables?

Yes. Utility and EPC invoices factor well when billing terms are documented. Milestone billing is expected and structured into the advance.

How is retainage on project deliveries handled?

Retainage — commonly 5–10% held until acceptance — is excluded from the advance and released when the customer pays. It's standard and doesn't kill the deal.

Is PO financing more expensive than a bank line?

It typically costs more than a traditional bank line, but it's often the difference between accepting a large order or turning it down. The profit on the order usually more than covers the cost.

Why renewable energy equipment manufacturing shops choose purchase order financing

You're building solar panels, battery modules, wind components, or inverters — all with long-lead component buys and customers (utilities, EPCs, developers) who pay on milestone or extended terms. The supply chain wants cash now; the project pays when it pays.

IRA and tax-credit demand has stretched the whole pipeline, so you're ramping capacity and buying cells, wafers, lithium, magnets, and power electronics in volume while the downstream project finance closes on its own timeline.

Purchase Order Financing is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Get the capital to fulfill large customer orders without straining cash flow.
