<p><a href="http://www.sunsure-energy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunsure Energy</a>, a solar turnkey solutions provider, has raised zero-collateral based debt capital worth $2.2 million from TATA Cleantech Capital, L&amp;T Finance, and cKers Finance to be used as working capital to construct solar photovoltaic (PV) projects up to 100 MW in FY 2019.</p>
<p>Sunsure Energy has commissioned over 40 MW of solar projects spread across nine Indian states, according to the company.</p>
<p>According to the Mercom India Rooftop Solar Project Tracker, Sunsure recently commissioned 20 MW of utility solar projects in the state of Karnataka and has installed over 9 MW of rooftop solar PV projects across the country, as of March 31, 2018. The company also has a rooftop project development pipeline of around 3 MW.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are delighted to have highly respected institutions like TATA Cleantech, L&amp;T finance and cKers as partners in our growth story. The current financing structure is more of a purchase order financing which is exactly the kind of capital a project execution company needs. This was not available for companies in the solar construction space without collateral securities. So, we are fortunate to have a first-of-its-kind facility from these institutions which have trusted our execution capabilities&#8221;, Anand Srivastava, the director of corporate development at Sunsure Energy, was quoted as saying in a media statement.</p>
<p>Total corporate funding (including venture capital funding, public market, and debt financing) into the solar sector in Q1 2018 fell by 65 percent quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) to $2.0 billion from the $5.7 billion raised during Q4 2017, according to Mercom Capital Group’s <a href="http://store.mercom.mercomcapital.com/product/q1-2018-solar-funding-and-ma-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q1 2018 Solar Funding and M&amp;A Report.</a></p>
<p>In a year-over-year (YoY) comparison, it was revealed that Q1 2018 funding was 38 percent below the $3.2 billion raised in Q1 2017.</p>
