Dividend Finance Closes Two $1MM+ Commercial Bonds

Dividend Finance recently closed two Commercial bonds, each consisting of a $1,000,000+ assessment to finance clean energy projects in California. One bond consists of a $1,012,000 assessment covering an installation of a 302.22 kW carport-mounted solar array at a 185-site manufactured housing community in Yuba City

. A family-controlled entity owns the community plus a series of other communities in Northern California. This was the owner’s first time using a assessment to fund a project, having previously deployed working capital to fund solar PV installations among its portfolio properties. The solar PV system is projected to reduce the property’s electricity costs by over $88,000 during its first year of operation.

Dividend also closed a $1,036,000 Commercial bond that financed the installation of a 270.4 kW roof-mounted solar PV array and a cool roof on a microbrewery in Anaheim owned by a transnational beverage and brewing company. The project involved a gut renovation of a 60,000-square foot industrial building, including demolishing 50% of the building area and installing a brewing facility and restaurant. This was the parent company’s pilot project nationwide. The property’s electricity costs are projected to be over $55,000 lower in the first year following installation of the solar PV system and cool roof.
