PosiGen to expand solar leasing program thanks to new credit facility

PosiGen, a provider of renewable energy and efficiency solutions for low-to-moderate income households, announced a new credit facility provided by LibreMax Capital, a New York based asset management firm, in conjunction with the Connecticut Green Bank and Inclusive Prosperity Capital. The three-year, $90 million credit facility will allow PosiGen to continue to lease solar systems and provide energy efficiency upgrades to low-to-moderate income homeowners in Louisiana, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. It also enables the company to expand its footprint into additional markets and states.

To date, 13,000 homeowners across the country are already enjoying lower utility bills and the benefits of clean energy thanks to PosiGen solar panels and energy efficiency upgrades. This new credit facility will nearly double that number of homeowner access over the next three years.

According to Thomas Neyhart, CEO of PosiGen, “This partnership is really a game-changer for PosiGen as we work to reduce the energy cost burden experienced by low-to-moderate income families across the country. We have enjoyed a successful partnership with the Connecticut Green Bank for many years, and now adding LibreMax Capital as a new financial partner is not only exciting, but it allows us to confidently continue our mission of helping families who need it the most.”

PosiGen and the Connecticut Green Bank have worked together for the past four years to close the clean energy affordability gap by making solar and energy efficiency available to all homeowners regardless of income. Bryan Garcia, President and CEO of the Connecticut Green Bank said, “Just as PosiGen helps homeowners in Connecticut reduce the burden of energy costs through clean energy, we want homeowners in every state to have access to affordable solar and energy efficiency while creating jobs in their communities and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are causing global climate change. Partnering with LibreMax on this innovative funding facility for PosiGen is another example of how the Green Bank attracts more private capital where it’s needed most.”
