We are excited to announce that our team at CleanCapital closed its Series A with a total investment of $3.7 million. This investment came through 50 investors to include FinTech and CleanTech leaders as well as SeedInvest’s Selections Fund in this latest round. The new capital will allow us to accelerate implementation of our technology roadmap, scale operations, grow our team, and expand opportunities for clean energy investing.

This new funding is driving our innovative approach to connect investors with investment-ready portfolios of solar projects across the United States. The capital will help us as we are actively acquiring seasoned solar projects that generate long-term contractual cash flows with creditworthy counterparties providing predictable long term returns. Our team performs best in class underwriting evaluation that uses our seasoned experience and proprietary metrics to acquire quality assets.

To date, our team has financed over $50M of solar projects and more than 20 MW in operating solar assets. We are already reducing barriers for institutional investors to access projects, and allows project owners to seamlessly exit their current portfolios.
