ILOS was established with the aim of becoming a leading IPP in the PV industry by following very simple, but proven business principles. Our business model and value lie in bridging the gap between the development phase and the world of finance where a PV project is no longer a solar park, but a financial product.

Lead in
Cultivating Solar Power along its entire value chain
Market entry through partnerships with local developers to acquire local intelligence and expertise.
ILOS provides funding as well as global expertise when it comes to contracts, thus ensuring the development of a bankable project from scratch.
ILOS negotiates financing facilities with debt providers, sponsors and PPA providers to ensure a solid cash-flow.
ILOS designs the solar project and manages the RfP process with contractors and suppliers of key components. ILOS also negotiates bankable EPC and O&M contracts that are checked by technical advisors. Banks and sponsors can rely on them to ensure optimum kWh production.
ILOS manages commercial and technical reporting to demonstrate that the solar project is yielding what was determined beforehand or ideally outperforming projections.
