The investment will allow SolarCity to use its SolarLeaseĀ® and power purchase agreement financing options where building owners adopt solar energy with no upfront investment.
In return for providing the upfront investment for the solar power systems, Pacific Venture Capital will receive lease revenues from SolarCity customers, along with the benefits of federal investment tax credits and local rebates for solar energy projects.
