Federal Bank partners Ecofy for commercial rooftop solar installations
.

This collaboration marks one of the first comprehensive co-lending partnerships specifically designed to address the unique solar financing needs of the MSME sector. This will help to cut over 2,500 tons of CO2 emissions each year accelerating decarbonisation and fostering sustainable growth.

Federal Bank announced partnership with Ecofy, India’s first green-only NBFC, backed by Eversource Capital, to offer innovative financing solutions for MSMEs investing in commercial rooftop solar installations. This collaboration marks one of the first comprehensive co-lending partnerships specifically designed to address the unique solar financing needs of the MSME sector.

The program targets financing 3,600 kW of rooftop solar installations annually, benefiting numerous MSMEs while cutting over 2,500 tons of CO2 emissions each year accelerating decarbonisation and fostering sustainable growth. Most manufacturing MSMEs predominantly use electricity during daylight hours, making rooftop solar an ideal solution. However, financial constraints have traditionally hindered their transition to renewable energy, with many institutions either reluctant to lend or offering loans at prohibitively high interest rates.

Shalini Warrier, Executive Director at Federal Bank commented,”This collaboration with Ecofy represents our commitment to supporting sustainable business practices. By offering accessible financing for commercial rooftop solar equipment, we are empowering MSMEs to reduce electricity costs while at the same time contributing meaningfully to India’s climate goals

Commenting on this alliance, Rajashree Nambiar, Co-founder, Managing Director & CEO at Ecofy said, “The MSME sector represents a critical segment in India’s economic landscape, yet there are significant challenges in adopting sustainable energy solutions. Our partnership with Federal Bank is strategically designed to unlock financing opportunities for solar installations in the 20-200 KW range, which has historically been a challenging lending whitespace for financial institutions.”

The co-lending arrangement of Federal Bank with Ecofy for funding Rooftop solar installations is augmenting Bank’s commitment to support the green initiatives by businesses/industries in line with the vision of the decarbonisation that is resonating across the country and the globe.

Federal Bank through its various business verticals is providing finance to support the growing MSME sector of the country. MSME loans contribute more than 20 percent of the total loan book of the Bank. The Bank also has a specific green loan scheme to fund solar and other green initiatives for Business Banking customers.

Ecofy brings extensive expertise to this partnership, having made remarkable strides in solarising residential and commercial rooftops over the past 24 months. Partnering with leading OEMs like Tata Power, Waaree, Luminous, and Mahindra Solarise, Ecofy currently works with over 1,000 EPC partners, driving impactful green energy solutions.
