Formed in 2009 by successful wind energy developer team. By 2012 it had captured more PPAs with PG&E in California than all other solar developers COMBINED. The Company built a cloud-based scalable 600-step origination, development, workflow and project management platform. The Company was awarded a $900K Department of Energy grant to commercialize floating solar systems, and has won contracts with water utilities for $50M of floating solar systems in California. By 2016, the Company had developed, financed and built 250 solar systems (30 were sold, 220 it owns & operates) and amassed a development pipeline of 800 projects across 22 states with over 9,000 MW ($18B) of projects waiting for capital to be installed, with an average 9% IRR 2 unleveraged, 12-18% leveraged. 15% of the pipeline is Hot, 15% Warm, and 70% Cold (late, mid, and early stage development, respectively). “Hot” projects could begin installation within 1-4 months after sufficient project equity capital is in hand. Warm and Cold projects need an additional 6 and 12 months, respectively.
