PV Financing, a European Commission-funded three-year project that extends to the EU and  Turkey, was launched at the beginning of 2015 with the aim of easing the implementation of PV projects based on new PV business models such as self-consumption and power-puchase agreements.

The project seeks to help stakeholders from six specific application segments: single-family homes, multi-occupancy dwellings, shopping centers, office buildings, educational buildings and industrial parks.

The project seeks to understand the expectations of players and reduce the risks of innovative photovoltaic projects. The project partners design the most appropriate financing schemes for each country and each key business model, based on  many interviews held.

The projects results are based on seven countries: Germany France, Italy, Austria, Spain, the UK and Turkey.
