The module brings out the difference of financing solar powered irrigation as compared to conventional irrigation systems. It provides guidance to financial service providers who are already financing or planning to finance SPIS. It thus addresses two groups:

  • Stakeholders at management level who decide upon credit policies of a financial service provider.
  • Loan officers who assess single loan applications for financing SPIS.

Process Steps
