Hot Off the Panels

Climate First extended a $20 million line of credit to renewable energy investment firm Sunwealth, which will finance commercial solar panel and solar battery initiatives, like the solar canopy project pictured above at Echo Church in Fremont, California.

At the intersection of climate innovation and community equity, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation (MacArthur)’s investment in Sunwealth stands out not just for its scale but for its intention. Read our conversation between John Balbach from the MacArthur Foundation and Sunewalth’s M.A. Miller, Investor Development Senior Manager, to learn more about their impactful investment.

Sunwealth is ready to put SMART 3.0 to work by financing high-impact projects, like our LICSS project at the Sportsmen’s Tennis Center in Dorchester, MA. Sunwealth continues to drive meaningful progress toward a cleaner, more equitable energy future.

Waltham Housing Authority is proving that clean energy belongs in every community. Through a mission-aligned partnership with PowerOptions and Sunwealth, WHA brought solar to 8 public housing sites, creating $403,000+ in lifetime savings and cutting 3,400+ metric tons of carbon emissions. And this is just the beginning. More projects are on the way
