For funds, lenders and platforms

We work with international capital providers to structure flexible financing for solar and EV projects in Southeast Asia. Aquila underwrites each deal, and each deal is secured on operating assets that Aquila tracks on the ground.

How Aquila's financing works

    Solar developers, EPCs and EV businesses in 5 countries in Southeast Asia, with 58 projects financed since 2024.

  • Asset-backed financing

    Tickets from $100k to $5M with terms starting at 12 months. All financing is secured on operating assets.

  • Due diligence in 2-3 weeks

    An exploratory call on eligibility, then standard due diligence in 2-3 weeks, then fast disbursement.
