Transcript of Sunfarmer

Lungra Health Clinic, located in Achham,

Nepal delivers about 100 babies each year.

Without electricity, women here are lucky to survive childbirth.

Unti l recently, the clinic had no electricity. At

night, babies were delivered by midwives

holding fl ashlights between their teeth.

In case of complicati ons, mothers were lift ed onto stretchers for the 4 hour hike to Bayalpata Hospital, the nearest hospital with electricity.

SunFarmer installed a solar energy system for

Lungra Health Clinic. Babies are already

being born under solar l ights, and modern

medical equipment will soon be on the way.

Financing opti ons for solar do not exist

Three major barriers to solar:

High upfront costs

Diffi cult to get quality

installati on

Poor quality components and system design

Systems break within a few

years

Nobody sti cks around to maintain the system

We oversee design and installati on , ensuring

highest qualityRELIABLE

We provide long term fi nancing; customers pay in

SolarChal lenges and lessons learned

Learning Implication

• Public sector is extremely challenging to work with – long sales cycle (bureaucracy), expectation for donations

• Need to concurrently examine other opportunities and sectors that can scale

• Collecting repayments is very difficult - need local financial intermediary to co-invest and assist with payment recollection

• In most cases, we do not extend financing to health sector

• Local contractors have a capability gap • Need to be hands on in the field to ensure proper execution – oversee design and perform strict testing

• All customers are excited – but won’t sign contract unless there is compelling financial value

• Need to focus on projects that are financial “no-brainer” for customer – deliver significant savings on day 1

A n d y M o o n (Chief Executive Officer) has closed over $150M in solar energy financings with private equity, bond, and corporate investors. He previously worked with nonprofits, banks, and governments as a consultant at McKinsey & Co.

A v i s h e k M a l l a (Director of Engineering and Ops) has been directly involved in many of Nepal’s largest and most innovative PV systems, including the rooftop PV system, 1st rooftop grid-tied system, and rural electrification projects.

J a s o n G ra y (Chief Financial Officer) has over 10 years of energy development experience. Most recently, he was GM and VP with SunEdison, where he launched SunEdison Canada and grew the business to revenues of $325 million.

M a r c o I n d e l i c a t o (Director of Business Development) has 10 years of experience in solar energy. He has helped some of the largest PV manufacturers and developers in the industry expand worldwide. He has transacted over 400MW of PV deals in 12 countries

Our team has extensive experience in development ,

fi nancing , and constructi on of solar PV projects
