Powerfin Partners, LLC

PowerFin Partners is a manager of institutional funds for solar projects throughout North America. We work with developers to provide electricity consumers with cost-competitive solar power. At PowerFin, we emphasize project completion by approaching solar investing from a conventional energy perspective.

Solar is a unique generating asset because the fuel - sunlight - is free. The main pricing variable is the cost of financing. PowerFin works with developers to provide bankable long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to large power consumers. Unlike any other power generating assets, solar installations last for a very long time (well over twenty years), allowing us to fix the long-term price of power.

PowerFin's long-term fixed-price solar PPAs empower consumers and municipalities with independence from volatile and rising commodity prices. We strive to provide this solution in a way that reflects our values:

Integrity. Feasible and reliable expectations from our people and our projects.

Transparency. Our stakeholders and customers must understand what we do and the cost of power.

Bankability. PowerFin only invests its time and capital into bankable projects with reasonable expectations.

PowerFin operates according to a simple two-part philosophy: keep your promises, and get projects done the right way.

PowerFin maximizes project and developer value by providing solar-focused:

Capital markets expertise. PowerFin's principals bring multiple billions of dollars in capital markets experience to solar deals. We know how to price energy and obtain bankable PPAs. We maximize value through our banking and strategic relationships. Our ability to create value by managing a portfolio of solar generating assets means that your project will get funded properly.

Legal and regulatory expertise. PowerFin understands energy regulation, taxation, and how to structure solar deals. With years of experience to draw from, we provide all of the necessary contracts, and we ensure the most efficient use of incentives.
Engineering and technical experience. With hundreds of megawatts of renewable energy interconnection under its belt, PowerFin provides technical and engineering expertise for every aspect of development and construction. With PowerFin, your project will be designed properly, constructed quickly, and will reliably produce electricity and returns.

Solar project finance is complicated, with many variables influencing the cost of electricity that consumers pay. We strive to provide transparency to developers and energy consumers so that they fully understand the economics behind our projects.
We fully monetize all the incentives that are available on a national, state, and local basis. By funding the construction and operation of solar projects, we provide three primary benefits to developers and energy consumers:

Full monetization of incentives. Through our third-party partnerships we can fully monetize tax incentives for our solar installations.
No upfront capital outlay. Each limited partnership is composed of different investors, who effectively own the installation and sell electricity to the consumer.

Operating risk mitigation. It is in everyone’s best interest for solar installations to operate at optimal levels. We ensure that our projects perform according to expectations and are backed by reliable vendors and contracts.
