MaxSolar receives $173m from CIP to support German renewables projects – Power Technology

The company aims to develop a portfolio of approximately 1.3GW of solar PV and battery storage developments.
MaxSolar has finalised a $173.6m (€155m) HoldCo debt facility provided by funds managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to support German renewables projects.
The new facility will refinance existing HoldCo debt and supply committed capital to further develop a portfolio of approximately 1.3GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage developments in Germany.

It replaces a previous HoldCo facility introduced in 2023, which supported MaxSolar’s shift towards operating as an independent power producer in the German renewables sector.
The latest arrangement consolidates financing with a single lender. It also provides flexible capital for project expenditure during construction and, when required, for acquiring additional projects from MaxSolar’s development pipeline.
MaxSolar’s portfolio underlying the new financing consists of around 912MW of solar PV and 379MW of battery storage capacity.
Of this total, 440MW of solar and 25MW of co-located battery storage are currently operational.
MaxSolar intends to continue its approach of advancing projects from development to long-term ownership, combining solar generation with storage in order to increase the value of each megawatt connected to the grid.
The funds for the facility come from CIP’s Green Credit strategy, which focuses on renewable energy and energy transition investments across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development markets.
MaxSolar CEO Christoph Strasser said: “This facility gives us confidence in the committed funding to take projects from ready-to-build into operation, and refinancing with a single lender simplifies a structure that had grown up around us. CIP understands the German market and the economics of co-locating storage with solar, which matters more with every project we build.”
Akereos Capital served as the exclusive debt adviser to MaxSolar, while Latham and Watkins and A&O Shearman provided legal advice to the borrower and lenders, respectively.
Technical, commercial, tax and legal due diligence were carried out by Fichtner Management Consulting, Deloitte, Aurora Energy Research and Latham & Watkins.
In October 2025, MaxSolar partnered with Greenvolt Power to support renewable energy integration and advance growth across Europe.
