Crowdfunding is a financing mechanism to raise capital that is required to set up Rooftop solar plants for captive power consumption at consumer sites such as educational institutions, commercial and industrial sites, farmers, govt institutions
Crowd Funding Renewables (DER)
Before initiating the process for Crowdfunding, here are some of the fundamental questions that would help to conclude on the requirement and need in such projects.
- Does your commercial property have real estate that is idle?
- Are you a landlord and have open space on your house or open land?
- Are you interested in renewable energy, but cannot finance it?
- Are you interested in solar power but do not have a place to install a plant?
- Are you concerned that solar power generated by your plant will not find a buyer?
- For what purpose do you plan to use the energy generated?
