The solar industry is complex, but the financing doesn’t have to be. We know that it can be difficult to find financing partners who are willing to underwrite post-PPA revenue and other non-traditional revenue sources like community solar and energy storage. Our solar lending team members are experts in utility-scale and C&I solar, community solar and energy storage project financing nationwide. We offer solar project developers and their tax equity partners a first-class lending experience.
Short term loans can strain your cash flow or keep you from investing in new assets, and short amortizations pose interest rate risk for a long-term held asset. We offer as long as 25-year fixed rate financing and a variety of deal structures that serve both single- and multi-site projects in any U.S. state or territory. We know the program, the process and the players, so we can ensure your financing experience is smooth and efficient. Live Oak offers several financing solutions, depending on your project type.

Utility Scale Solar Financing
