CAPEX
Direct purchase
The customer acquires the asset and directly captures the economic and operating benefits of the solution.
Best suited for: Organizations or individuals with available capital and a preference for ownership from day one.
Acquisition options
A viable solution also needs a viable structure.
Purchase, credit, leasing or ESCO models can coexist with the same technical architecture. The appropriate structure depends on the project, customer, risk and available counterparty.
Financing
Credit
The investment is financed through an institution or partner while the customer keeps a path toward ownership of the asset.
Best suited for: Projects with sufficient cash flow to support debt service and a defensible value proposition.
Leasing
Leasing
The solution is structured through periodic payments under conditions defined by the financing provider.
Best suited for: Assets and customers where leasing is more convenient than an immediate purchase.
PPA · EaaS · service
ESCO / service
A specialized third party may provide capital, retain part of the asset or structure risk and payment around energy, availability or performance.
Best suited for: Eligible projects where a service structure enables execution without the customer assuming all initial CAPEX.

| BESS | Yes | Yes | Yes | EaaS / service |
| EV | Yes | Yes | Yes | Charging-as-a-Service |
| Power quality / efficiency | Yes | Yes | — | Performance structure when applicable |
PPA structures naturally fit generation and may be part of hybrid projects. BESS, EV, efficiency and power-quality projects may require service, performance, leasing or other contractual structures. All alternatives are subject to eligibility and do not constitute credit approval.
