Abstract

The reluctance of Islamic banking to participate in financing solar power plants is primarily due to higher risk and lower economic value than fossil-based energy. This study proposes a risk management guidance and financing model to strengthen the role of Sharia Banking in financing solar power plants and support sustainable development in Indonesia. There is a significant gap in the study of risk management and the Syariah financing model for solar power plants. We used a qualitative method that involved expert consultations and literature studies to identify the risks of solar power plants. We also derived an equity-based Diminishing Musyarakah for the Sharia financing model. Me study's result is a risk management framework and a Sharia financing scheme for solar power plants. By using this framework Sharia banks can increase their participation in supporting sustainable development.
