Greetings,

As all of us who work in solar know, this industry is defined by its uphill battles.

Despite (and perhaps in the face of) these challenges, a clear theme emerged from our annual retreat: Many of us feel grateful to be working on exactly what we want to work on, and with the team of people we want to work with.

It was energizing to take a step back together and consider how we can continue to grow: as individuals, as a team, and as an industry.

 


With this in mind, we are excited to share some of our recent highlights:

  • A client received a term sheet for 1.10x DSCR with the help of our Solar Revenue Put. This 'step change' in debt sizing ushers in a dramatic reduction in the cost of capital for solar.

  • kWh Analytics has been selected as a finalist for Insurance Initiative of the Year. With JLT Re, we have secured investment grade insurance to offer Kudos, the Solar Revenue Put, to guarantee up to $100 million of production risk, per transaction.

  • SEIA and kWh Analytics co-authored Best Practices for Solar Risk Management to share what we’ve learned from serving 50%+ of the tax equity market.

  • We are continuing to grow the industry’s largest data repository of solar asset performance, with well over 100,000 operating solar power plants, representing nearly 20% of the U.S. market.


As always, feel free to reach out with feedback or questions you have about solar risk management.

Regards,
Richard Matsui
Founder & CEO

Kudos is Changing the Capital Landscape
