SunPower, a leading residential solar technology and energy services provider, yesterday announced that it has secured financing commitments of more than $450 million for its residential solar and storage loan program from HASI, a leading investor in climate solutions, and from Crédit Agricole CIB, a pioneer in sustainable finance. The vehicle will acquire loans made to SunPower customers and is non-recourse to SunPower. Through this transaction, SunPower Financial will continue to provide customers with attractive loan options at tenors up to 25 years for their transition to a cleaner and lower-cost future.

“Among our leading value propositions is full consumer choice when it comes to how our customers purchase our solar and storage systems. We continue to build and strengthen our suite of world-class financing products to meet growing demand. This new transaction also illustrates the health and resilience of consumer credit markets during the recent period of shifting conditions,” said Guthrie Dundas, SunPower interim Chief Financial Officer. “We are proud to work with financing partners who share our commitment to clean energy and feel confident that we have access to the capacity to meet growing demand with attractive loan financing for years to come.”
