The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Certain Solar, Inc. to create a new model for the financing of solar energy projects to account for volatility in net metering laws.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include data collection, analytics, and modeling; collaboration with solar channel partners to develop a new consumer financing contract; and collaboration with potential investors to design a new asset class. Work would be distributed among team members in Washington, DC, Massachusetts, and California. The proposed project would be limited exclusively to intellectual, academic, or analytical activities and would use no physical materials beyond basic office supplies and software.
