Dividend Solar, Inc. (“Dividend Solar” or the “Company”) signed a definitive merger agreement to merge with Figtree Financing (“Figtree”), with a commitment of up to $200 million from LL Funds to fuel the growth of the combined entity. In addition to acting as Dividend Solar’s exclusive advisor in connection with its merger with Figtree, BPC advised Dividend Solar on four prior transactions over the past 6 months, raising preferred equity, senior notes, and SPV debt amounting to approximately $80 million for the Company, which led to the merger.
Dividend Solar is an innovative solar financing company whose loans include solar performance guarantees and warranty management for an easy path to solar ownership. Figtree is a leading provider of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing for energy efficiency improvements, including solar energy. The merger represents the first ever combination of a residential solar lender and PACE financing provider.
“We are excited to announce our partnership with LL Funds and with Figtree, which will allow our company to expand its financing program to include PACE and to accelerate our nationwide growth,” says Eric White, Dividend Solar’s President. “We can now offer a suite of products to our customers, creating a ‘one-stop shop’ where commercial and residential property owners can secure the upfront financing they need for renewable energy and efficiency upgrades.”
