Two-Roof Solar Bond
Investor factsheet, plain-language version

You lend money to a small Luxembourg company that owns solar panels on two commercial roofs. It plans to pay you back over 15 years from what it earns selling the electricity, one of the safest income streams there is. If the panels or the power contracts underperform, payments can be late or lower, and you could lose money. Your bond is recorded as a token on the Liquid network, but it is designed to be an ordinary bond under financial law (this needs a legal opinion).

Key terms

IssuerTwo-Roof Solar S.à r.l. (fictional)
Amount raisedEUR 2,000,000
Interest, term6.5% a year, fixed, for 15 years
RepaymentInterest paid each year, with all of your money repaid in one amount at the end
MinimumEUR 500 (one token), after the selling bank's identity and appropriateness checks. Retail and professional investors have equal rights.
Paid inEUR, to your bank account (A)
Late paymentsA missed amount stays owed with interest and is paid first from later cash, so you still receive everything you are owed, just later. Owners get nothing meanwhile (A)
SecurityPledge over the company's shares, bank accounts and power contracts, held for all investors by a bondholder representative (A). It is the only debt, ahead of EUR 3.1M of owner money, so your capital is protected. A failing project's assets may be worth little.
Cash reserveEUR 110,000, half of one yearly payment, set aside at the start
Fees for youNone planned; the company pays custody (A); your bank may charge its own

What you get for each EUR 500

EUR 53.18
paid each year if all goes to plan
EUR 32.50
of the first payment is interest
EUR 797.65
in total over 15 years if every payment is made

Each payment is interest plus a growing part of your EUR 500 back. None of these amounts is guaranteed.

Where the money to pay you comes from

Only from selling electricity from the two roofs (each 3 MWp):

The hosts' shared holding company owns the company, so if the hosts struggle, both its main income and its owners' support weaken. Nobody else backs the payments: not STOKR, the selling bank, the state or the token itself.

Downside: both hosts stop buying in year 5

All power then goes to the grid, and the state steps in through the premium where the hosts left off. Cash available after running costs and taxes falls by about a quarter at first and by more than a third by year 15.

Cash available (EUR, model); payment due each year: EUR 212,706

11332,173222,2731.04x
15318,179199,9400.94x, paid

A bond term (A) stops the owners taking money out in any year when cash available is below 1.01 times the payment due, so from year 9 cash builds up inside the company and covers the gap in years 13-15. In the model every payment is still made, from cash held back from the owners and with the reserve untouched, only if the premium is won and output stays near the central estimate. That is why the bond is issued only once the premium is won. With years of weak sunshine (P90), the reserve runs out and payments are late from year 14.

Worse things can happen: long breakdowns, much lower power prices, or several problems at once. Then payments could be late, missed or cut, and you could lose part or all of your money.

What this bond is not

Costs inside the project

Raising the bond costs EUR 200,000 (8% of the amount: placement fee for the bank and STOKR, legal work, register and token set-up), counted in start-up costs. Running it costs about EUR 20,000 a year, paid before you are. Both are estimates (A).
