Expert guidance across the project life cycle
Solar advisory is an engagement to diligence, structure, or advance a project without necessarily taking Sunlight capital. We advise developers, investors, and organizations from first feasibility study to financial close and beyond.
Full-service, end to end
The same in-house capabilities we use to underwrite and operate projects are available as an advisory engagement tailored to your objectives.
Feasibility & site assessment
Site screening, resource analysis, and preliminary yield modeling to validate a project before capital is committed.
Technical & engineering diligence
Independent review of designs, equipment, and production estimates to de-risk technical assumptions.
Financial modeling & structuring
Bankable project models, capital-stack design, and scenario analysis built around each project's economics.
Capital raising & project finance
Positioning projects for equity, tax equity, and debt, with introductions to the right capital partners.
Development, permitting & PPA support
Guidance through interconnection, permitting, and offtake negotiation to keep projects moving to close.
Transaction & M&A advisory
Buy-side and sell-side support for acquisitions, divestitures, and portfolio transactions.
Aligned with your objectives
We bring an owner-operator's perspective to every engagement—the same lens we apply when we underwrite and operate projects.

Independent developers seeking diligence, structuring, and capital-raise support to reach financial close.
