The new instruments are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatefinancelab.org\/project\/2588\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solar Investment Trusts (SEITs)<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>An instrument similar to a mutual fund, which can help small-scale rooftop solar developers in India raise capital at a lower cost of financing.
