Critical Drivers for a Lender
  • Ability to repay
  • Energy efficiency Are savings real? Greater than
    increased debt payment?
  • Match amortization to life of collateral
  • Financial strength of borrower
  • Could they repay if dont realize savings? Good
    Credit Score?
  • Collateral
  • If had to foreclose, could collateral cover debt
  • Is Project (loan) within Lenders historical exp?
  • Lenders like standards based on market history

10
Current Challenges of Borrowing for Green
  • Collateral
  • How much would a solar water system be worth in 3
    years if you had to foreclose? How would you get
    it off the roof?
  • Capacity to Repay
  • Are savings greater than increased debt payments
  • Typically need a longer amortization than
    depreciable life of collateral
  • Prices on green innovations coming down but not
    yet low enough that can support debt

11
Current Challenges of Borrowing for Green
  • Deal Flow
  • People get the concept but still hesitant to
    invest
  • Expensive to start new lending programs
  • Education
  • Consumer Green is exciting but overwhelming to
    know what to do
  • Lender lenders like historical data
  • Its not easy yet

12
Bridge Concept to Opportunities to Market
  • People get it the concepts.
  • Prices are coming down.
  • But the economics of most green investments make
    long-term sense.
  • People are focused on short-term.
  • So its not yet a no brainer.
  • Now is the perfect opportunity to bridge the
    marketplaceand increase wider access.

13
Support Financing to Increase Access
  • Tools to fill collateral gap.
  • Low cost of capital to subsidize rate to Lender
    and borrower
  • Energy Audits as educational tool
  • Invest in human resources to build replicable
    models
