The Puerto Rican Solar Business Accelerator (PRSBA) works closely with the financial industry, solar companies, and government officials to propose the most beneficial and optimal financial products. 

For the solar industry, providing optimal financing options is as important as having the best technology and workforce. For this reason, the PRSBA evaluates financing scenarios for both solar businesses and their clients. Our aim is to identify and propose new financing approaches that are affordable and accessible. We work in close collaboration with the finance industry, solar companies, and the government.
