Every SPIS demands a specific solution, since it combines a new energy providing technology with irrigation and cropping systems which can be manifold in its combination.
SPIS, being based on agricultural activities, follow specific liquidity patterns, such as:
This requires specific agri-lending tools. Thereby the following risks should be considered:
