We also had fun coming up with some ‘solar carols’ :) Below are some highlights we’re excited to share from this past quarter. And Happy Holidays, from our team to yours. Regards, Richard Matsui Founder & CEO As reported in Bloomberg, kWh Analytics has now structured Solar Revenue Puts on over $250 million of solar assets, both improving the economics of solar and establishing a new insurtech category. With the Solar Revenue Put, industry-leading sponsors and banks are able to reduce the risk—and therefore the cost—of solar. To learn more about how the Solar Revenue Put can enhance your next project financing, please reach out and we’ll set up an introductory call. kWh Analytics has won a $1.25 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to utilize its real-world data to quantify degradation rates and increase the affordability and reliability of solar. As reported in pv Magazine, kWh Analytics has launched its Solar Lendscape for Tax Equity – a free resource that profiles 28 tax equity investors. For developers looking to raise capital, the Solar Lendscape catalogs the industry’s most active debt and tax equity investors, including details on check size, target market segments, and product type.
