Is this solar project compelling enough to attract equity investors?

If you're an investor or entrepreneur, I'd love your honest take: does this project sound compelling enough to attract investors?

The idea: develop a solar project in southern Morocco, one of the sunniest places on earth. As a Moroccan citizen, I have access to cheap agricultural land that can be converted to industrial use something foreigners can't do. I'm looking at roughly 10 hectares, which would support about an 8 MW solar plant.

The plan:

  1. Secure the land.

  2. Get government approval to convert it to industrial use.

  3. Get the grid connection authorization

This is where investors come in. Covering the land with panels, the grid connection, installation and setup costs roughly €1.5–2 million. My rough estimate is that capital can be returned within 3–5 years, after which the plant keeps producing (and earning) for 20+ more years.

The attractive part: investors would come in only once the land is secured and the permits and grid connection are in place. That removes the biggest early hurdles before any investor capital is at risk. I'd be funding and carrying that risky front-end myself.

Being realistic: this is still an emerging market, so execution risk is real bureaucracy, timelines, and grid capacity are the genuine challenges. I'm not pretending it's risk-free.

One thing I want to be clear on: I'm not looking to raise debt. I want to avoid interest payments entirely I'm looking for equity partners who share in the project and its returns.

My main worry, and the thing I'd most like input on: the risk of securing the land and permits but then not being able to finish the project. Does this structure sound compelling? What am I missing?

Any feedback, referrals, or recommendations are much appreciated.

Looking for something serious that leads to marriage

I’m 27 was born and raised in Italy.

I’m not really into small talk. I enjoy meaningful conversations about topics like politics, philosophy, science, art, history, and pretty much anything that helps me learn something new. I’m naturally curious and I value intellectual connection very highly.

For those familiar with MBTI, I’m an INTJ, which might give a rough idea of my personality. I’m a responsible, determined, and ambitious person who takes commitments seriously and always tries to support the people I care about.

I’m looking for a woman with the intention of marriage, ideally between 20 and 27 years old. More importantly, I’m looking for someone who is caring, curious, passionate, kind, and emotionally warm. Someone who enjoys learning, can have deep conversations about almost anything, and wants to keep growing as a person. For me, communication is very important, and being able to address issues openly and talk through them is a quality I highly value in a partner. I rather have someone who speaks English fluently.

I’m interested in someone who is Arab and petite (ideally under 161 cm). Religiously, I’m not looking for someone who is either very strictly practicing or atheist/agnostic; anything in between is fine.

I would prefer someone living in Europe and I don’t plan to relocate at the moment. However, if you think we’d be a particularly strong match, don’t hesitate to reach out regardless of where you’re from.

Physically, I’m 170 cm tall, muscular, and generally considered attractive, although I know looks are subjective.

Dealbreakers:
• Smoking
• Drinking
• Not wanting children

Am I sampiosexual?

I was chatting with someone on a language-learning app, and we ended up having a fascinating conversation about the MBTI. What stood out how deeply she understood it. She didn’t explain it in a superficial “this type does this” way. Instead, she broke down the cognitive functions in detail, gave examples, discussed exceptions, and explored different scenarios. It felt more like an intellectual exploration than a typical conversation.

We talked for nearly two hours, trying to figure out what MBTI type I might be, and I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. What has stayed with me isn’t necessarily what she looked like or any personal details about her I barely knew anything about her. In fact, from her picture alone, I probably wouldn’t have felt particularly drawn to her.

What keeps coming back to my mind is how knowledgeable she was and how engaging the conversation felt. Usually, physical attraction is the first thing I notice, but in this case, it was her intelligence, her ability to explain complex ideas clearly, and the depth of our discussion that left an impression on me. I’ve found myself wishing we could talk again over the following days.

That experience made me wonder: am I sapiosexual, or was I simply deeply attracted to the intellectual connection I felt during that conversation?

I am looking for land

Hi,

I am looking for land if someone can find it or get me touch with a samsar.

The land has be at least 50 hectares more is fine too.

The land should be close to a subtation/ in french poste électrique.

I am looking mostly in the south, these are some ideal places: Guelmim, Taroudant, Tiznit, Agadir.

I will pay a commission if someone can either find or simply get me in touch with a samsar, payment will take place only if I end up purchasing the land.
