ASLS Project Guide
Commercial Solar Finance Project Readiness Checklist
A commercial solar finance review is more efficient when the business, site, energy and installer information is consistent from the beginning. This checklist helps Australian businesses and solar vendors prepare for an initial ASLS review. The applicable provider may request additional financial, credit, technical, legal or supporting information before making a decision.
