IBC SOLAR International One-stop solution strategy: fully integrated model for solar PV energy generation
Long-term bankable investment opportunities in solar projects
Why IBC SOLAR Energy
We cover the entire solar value chain: from project development and financing, to full EPC construction and later commercialisation
IBC SOLAR Energy oversees the whole project, providing a risk free development and construction solution to its customers.
Our straight-forward business model is clearly oriented to satisfy the needs of every one of our stakeholders. We are also flexible with the scope and design of our comprehensive services, to cater for our diverse projects and clients.
Project Development and Permitting
From an idea to a ready to build project
We carefully analyse the suitability of the location of the future solar power plant, carrying out the corresponding feasibility studies of the site and the grid connection point. Once the best site location is decided, IBC SOLAR Energy also deals with the purchase or lease agreements of the land. All contracts are structured, created and completed considering the future requirements of investors looking at predictable asset performance over 20 to 25 years.
Alongside site preparation, we start working on the implementation of the plant. This includes technical and project planning, mechanical and electrical designs, engineering and plant layout, amongst others.
Together with our local partners, IBC SOLAR Energy takes responsibility for obtaining all the permits, licenses and authorisations required to develop and operate a solar project on behalf of the SPC (Special Purpose Company = Project Company).
We stick to our contractual obligations, delivering high quality innovative solutions with real added value. IBC SOLAR Energy sticks to set time frames and according to the latest technological standards.

IBC SOLAR Storage Solutions: New opportunities for Business
Energy storage and solar PV are highly synergetic
Photovoltaic plants supply electricity - as long as the sun is shining. We offer clever systems to make sure that there is no need to experience downtime at night. We achieve this by combining our solar energy plants with storage units that can store the solar energy produced during the day for access whenever needed.
For commercial and industrial applications
Whatever is used for generating energy, a CHP unit, a solar plant or a wind power plant - our storage units are compatible with almost any existing system. We develop solutions that are tailored to exactly match the requirements.
- Continuity of energy supply: storage units bridge the gap during short-term blackouts
- Self-supply optimization: storage units will augment the use of own-generated cheap electricity by peak-shaping and so increase the self-consumption
- Premium prices at peak-demand times can be avoided thus reducing electricity bills
For electric utilities
Implementing energy storage also provides significant and strategic benefits to utilities.
- Frequency control by balancing power
- Increase of grid stability and avoidance of outages
- Investments to upgrade the existing transmission and distribution equipment can be delayed, reduced or even avoided
- Solutions for micro grids
Ideal to supplement hybrid systems
- Diesel and money can be saved by making full advantage of the solar generator.

Project Financing
We ensure that financing is optimised for the project
A critical factor of success for large-scale PV projects is solid financing.
IBC SOLAR Energy supports the customer in taking over the financing, creating financial models and business plans with profitability analysis and yield forecasts for every project.
From there, we develop financing concepts that are tailored to the respective project. Our experts firstly handle financing from the project development phase, and make sure that the project is fully bankable for the investor. This allows to close non-recourse project financing before starting with construction.
Our standards also include top-class data rooms prepared for due diligences.
