Home rooftop solar is financed off a credit score. Desert mega farms get infrastructure desks. But financing a $5 million energy project can require much of the same legal work, underwriting and negotiation as a $1 billion one. Institutional capital follows the larger deals, leaving everything in between, from school rooftops to regional solar farms, facing expensive financing or none at all.
Meanwhile, the grid is struggling to keep up. Data centers are adding demand to an already constrained system, while large power projects often depend on long-distance transmission and years of infrastructure upgrades. Generation built closer to demand can relieve some of that pressure, but the projects best positioned to deliver it are often the hardest to finance.
Projective changes the economics of financing those projects. By standardizing underwriting, documentation and loan administration, we make smaller infrastructure loans viable for institutional lenders. Local builders gain direct access to capital, with closings measured in weeks instead of months, lower transaction costs and continuous visibility into every loan through repayment.
