  “ Since 2010, has bought about 100 gigawatts of large-scale projects, reflecting the solar energy as an asset class has gone far away. High quality solar projects has become a global mature now, the most attractive investment opportunities, & throughout; Prabhu added.

Mercom report, within the scope of corporate finance, the solar industry in 2018 the global risk of investment fund in 65 transactions fell 18% to $1. 3 billion, among them, 1. 2 billion dollars for 50 downstream of solar projects, accounting for 91% of the total amount of investment risk in 2018. And 2017 in 99 to raise funds for the $1. 6 billion deal.

risk investment into photovoltaic technology company funds reached $37 million, to the service provider's financing reached $28 million, on the system balance ( BOS) The company financing amount to $25 million, followed by the film company raised $25 million, while concentrating photovoltaic ( CPV) The company raised $2. 4 million.

Mercom said the 2018 solar energy enterprise public markets increased to 21 trading, raised $2. 3 billion, and 2017, 33 deals to raise $1. 7 billion of funds, increase significantly.

in 2018, released by the debt financing fell 36%, 53 deal involves the amount of $6 billion, and 74 transactions involving the amount of $9. 5 billion in 2017. A total of 5 cases of securitization transactions totalled $1. 4 billion, slightly more than $1. 3 billion in 2017.

large projects the main investors including the European bank for reconstruction and development ( EBRD) 16, total investment in the project, followed by the Netherlands bank FMO, there are 7 deal, with six French investment bank transaction.

solar energy industry mergers and acquisitions activity increased by 82 deal in 2018, 60% of the downstream transactions involving solar energy company, a total of 49 deal, for 72 and 2017 deal.

the Engie bought four companies, and AlsoEnergy participated in three mergers and acquisitions, global infrastructure partners, GIP) , shell and F2i each bought two companies.

in 2018, the largest and most notable transaction is global infrastructure partners, GIP) '$5 billion acquisition of Equis Energy through its global infrastructure partners III fund, public-sector pension investment committee and CIC Capital of Canada.
