Fantastic
Very good course, however more details on Financing assumptions sections could have helped students equip with more knowledge.

Insightful!
I found this financial modeling course to be both fun and unique. I have not been familiar with the construct of solar energy financial modeling and after completing it there were sufficient learning experiences. Understanding the development timeline of a solar project was straight forward. It was also a helpful refresher to practice advanced financial modeling. Thank you CFI and Antoine for putting this together in the program.

Questions regarding the model
hi i have almost finished this model but there is one place that i dont quite understand - G101, when you calculate the principal amount if 85% Capex caps the Debt raised, why are we using the ratio of that / min of P50 or P99? Would be great if you could answer me! thanks, Rita

Renewable Energy - Solar Financial Modeling
The course is essential for my business. However, I found that the instructor although highly qualified technically speaks too fast, sometimes he says one thing and does a different thing on the screen. In addition, there are errors of description in the templates. These glitches caused lots of pain and time. I am satisfied with the certification program, however, I recommend a review of the material and speed in which is given. Used the e-commerce course as a benchmark. The course is taught at the right speed, material well documented etc. I would be glad to speak to the instructor for further suggestions.
