Project funding

How to fund a commercial solar project in the UK

A practical sequence for commercial solar: establish what is known, decide the funding question, and only then start conversations.

Start with status, not a number

A commercial solar project is easier to discuss when site control, grid position, planning and costs are labelled as known, on request, or not yet established. Leading with a return figure before those items exist is how conversations stall.

WattFund is built around that status. It does not replace a solicitor, an engineer or a funder, and it does not lend.

Funding is usually staged

Development capital, construction funding, refinance and operator-funded models are different asks. Treat them as different conversations rather than one generic raise.
