C&I Solar in France – Structuring Bankable Portfolios Starts with Standardization   At the Solarplaza Summit France – PV & Storage 2025, I had the pleasure of moderating a roundtable focused on the financial structuring of solar projects in the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) segment. Together with Crédit Agricole CIB (CACIB), Helexia Group and GreenYellow, we explored what it takes to scale and finance distributed solar portfolios in a market that remains highly fragmented.   This fragmentation, marked by a wide range of project sizes and actor profiles, can actually serve to dilute risk and facilitate portfolio-based financing. But it also creates real barriers to bankability. The diversity of contractual frameworks, from PPAs to EPCs and O&M agreements, makes credit analysis complex and slows down deployment. Standardized structures are essential to clarify risk allocation, improve transparency, and make portfolios readable and replicable.   We also emphasized the importance of off-taker quality and revenue predictability. The financial solidity of the counterparty plays a critical role in unlocking access to credit. The ability to model stable, predictable cash flows, often tied to client size, sector, or contractual guarantees, remains a central concern for lenders. That’s why banks increasingly adopt a platform-based approach, aggregating projects into portfolios where the global scoring becomes the benchmark for financial viability. These platforms must remain flexible enough to accommodate heterogeneous projects while being standardized enough to ensure replicability and risk control.   Finally, we discussed the growing importance of hybrid financing models and integrated services like co-location of BESS and Solar, ACC, Energy efficiency... These elements strengthen the technical and operational robustness of projects and enhance their attractiveness to financiers. Provided portfolios are clearly structured and well-documented, they can benefit from financing terms approaching those of large-scale assets.   Thanks again to Julie Tholliez, Mathieu Cambet and Fabian Eiglier for their valuable contributions, and to Marjory Dupouy for the flawless organization of the session.   #TevaliPartners #CAndI #Solarplaza #ProjectFinance #Bankability #CommercialSolar #Structuring #GreenFinance #EnergyAsAService #PVFrance #Storage #BESS #Standardisation #Autoconsumption #PortfolioApproach
