GGF drastically reduces the barriers to access financing for solar distributors thanks to lean, fast and efficient due diligence focused on sector specific metrics. It provides companies with inventory amounts ranging from USD 5k to 500k and payment terms up to 24 months.
All relevant technical and customer repayment data are collected through the Prospect platform, allowing GGF to monitor the performance in real-time. It also enables companies to adjust commercial practices early on in case of poor portfolio performance.
Traditional ways of financing often provide companies with large amounts of financing at once to purchase inventory, pushing them to sell quickly. By providing companies with only the stock they need, GGF allows distributors to focus on quality of sale and to grow a healthy business over time, at their own pace.
The detailed monitoring of systems allows to measure and trace the carbon savings from fuel displacement. The monetization of these carbon savings provides the first loss layer necessary to de-risk the facility and lower its cost of capital.
Demand for larger solar systems is high, especially where grids are weak and fuel generators are the energy infrastructure’s backbone.
Adequate and affordable solar technology exists, with a growing number of suppliers entering the market.
Credit-worthy distributors are on the ground and eager to provide reliable solar products.
Smaller distributors face high barriers to access financing because of complex, costly, and lengthy processes.
Lack of financing limits the availability of stock, which limits the adoption rate and market growth.
GGF aims to reduce complexities and lower barriers to accessing financing through lean due diligence and digital processes.
The GGF unites long-standing finance and operational experience in the sustainable energy access sector.
Our team members have vast experience in green investments and development finance in the private and public sector, as well as backgrounds in solar engineering, procurement, sales, and data gathering and analysis. They have spent many years working in on-the-ground solar businesses - managing sales, operations, and customer loan portfolios. We are passionate about accelerating the solar revolution and providing sustainable energy access while creating green jobs and mitigating climate change.
