We finance both solar plus storage projects as well as standalone storage projects. We know the asset class and can provide value with long-term, project-level debt. Our solar lending team members are experts in utility-scale and C&I solar, community solar and energy storage project financing nationwide.
The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project.
Investors and lenders are eager to enter into the energy storage market. In many ways, energy storage projects are no different than a typical project finance transaction. Project finance is an exercise in risk allocation. Financings will not close until all risks have been catalogued and covered.
These projects will have long-term predictable revenue streams. In addition, lenders may be willing to finance merchant cashflows, but with less leverage and subject to detailed market studies and cash sweeps. These trends for solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.

Schools are strategically deploying solar panels not only to curtail their energy costs but also to foster a culture of sustainability and enrich learning experiences. Over 7,332 K-12 institutions have already converted their schools into renewable energy powerhouses.
Fostering Career Opportunities and Local Economy: The clean energy sector is experiencing a surge, and schools with solar installations are not only keeping pace but also contributing to this growth. For example, the New York City Department of Education is offering solar PV installation training and internships to students.
Schools are quickly catching on to the many perks of adopting solar energy. Not only can solar panels save tons of cash on electricity bills, but they're also a way to supercharge educational experiences and bring communities together.
Some states and utilities offer additional grants and incentives for schools to invest in solar. For example, Pennsylvania recently announced the PA Solar For Schools Program, which could provide schools with a grant of 50% of the installation cost. Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) provide an additional revenue stream for solar owners.
