Solaria and CleanFund Commercial PACE Capital Partner to Offer Long-Term Financing, First for Architectural Solar Projects
SolarPACETM Program Lowers Project Costs for Commercial Property Owners Aiming for Net Zero Energy

June 14, 2017

CleanFund Commercial PACE Capital, the leading Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financier, and Solaria Corporation, global provider of solar module technologies, have formed a C-PACE financing partnership making the integration of solar technologies into the building skin more affordable. By providing commercial building owners access to Solaria's customizable product line, along with the benefits and flexibility of C-PACE financing, this SolarPACETM collaboration maximizes the availability of long-term incentives to developers who implement architectural solar (aka - Building Integrated Photovoltaics - BIPV) into commercial projects.

"We aim to partner with companies that are driving the adoption of innovative clean energy solutions," said Joshua Kagan, Vice President of Sales at CleanFund. "This is no exception - Solaria is paving the way for the mainstream adoption of architectural solar. And, with SolarPACETM financing, the decision to incorporate this technology is now more accessible than before." Commercial building owners who seek to incorporate architectural solar into their projects benefit from the building skin generating energy, which offers a compelling return-on-investment, along with multiple advantages that improve occupant wellness and comfort.

SolarPACETM is designed to maximize cash flow, with terms up to 30 years. It can solve most credit challenges found in commercial solar project financing, since C-PACE is secured by a parcel tax assessment with payments billed through ordinary property taxes. Owners often have the option to pass all or a portion of the C-PACE payments to tenants, who also benefit from lower energy costs. With flexible options to utilize solar tax credits, SolarPACETM enables building owners and developers to stay within project budgets and lower overall project costs.

"Solaria is privileged to partner with the leading provider of a nationwide financing platform that makes building improvements affordable for commercial property owners," said Udi Paret, GM Building Solutions, Solaria Corporation. "Now we can offer customers a viable option for funding and installing an architectural solar system, especially important for net zero energy projects. This is a significant competitive advantage for our industry partners who offer their own warrantied powered-by-Solaria' architectural solar products."
