SunPower signs $1 billion financing deal with Technology Credit Union

SunPower Corp. announced a whopping $1 billion partnership with Technology Credit Union (Tech CU) that will increase financing options for qualified U.S. residential solar customers. The new partnership will give SunPower access to capital for its loan program.

There will be multiple benefits for both SunPower and its customers:

• Reduction of SunPower’s operating costs through lower per-watt financing fees;
• Streamlining of the loan application and contract signing process for customers; and
• Utilization of a financing platform that integrates SunPower’s sales and system design tools that give customers the ability to compare cash, lease or loan acquisition options all at one time.

“Our new partnership with Tech CU will diversify SunPower’s funding resources while providing our customers with a streamlined process and experience,” said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of North American Channels. “This $1 billion commitment will also allow for tens of thousands of SunPower solar systems to be funded over the course of the next four years.”
