*ABOUT THE PROJECT

FSSI launched a solar financing initiative in January 2025 to provide tailored loan products for small-scale solar enterprises and community-based organizations, addressing key barriers through flexible terms, cash-flow-based appraisal, and initial risk-sharing mechanisms. While early uptake shows promise, adoption remains constrained by low awareness, capacity gaps, limited sector data, and collateral challenges. The follow-up project focuses on scaling these products by strengthening market awareness, capacity, and risk mitigation, while exploring expansion to support Productive Use of Renewable Energy (PURE) projects in agricultural communities.
