San Francisco—[May 3, 2012]—Clean Power Finance, the online marketplace for residential solar financing and leading provider of solar sales software, MS Solar Solutions Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), and Main Street Power Company, a North American solar developer and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) provider today announced the creation of MySolar, a residential solar lease facility that will provide funding for up to $300 million in projects. Zions Energy Link, part of Zions Bancorporation, is the first member of a syndicate of debt providers to the MySolar residential solar lease facility.

Clean Power Finance will make the MySolar lease available to homeowners via qualified solar professionals using CPF Tools, the leading solar sales software platform in the United States. The MySolar lease will initially be available in Arizona and California. MySolar is the third solar finance facility available to Clean Power Finance’s national network of solar professionals and brings the total amount of project financing under Clean Power Finance management to approximately half a billion dollars.

“The MySolar lease gives Clean Power Finance’s qualified network of solar professionals another affordable option to help homeowners immediately save money on their electricity bills,” said Nat Kreamer, CEO of Clean Power Finance. “We are pleased that our marketplace and asset management and underwriting services make residential solar an attractive investment to major financial institutions.”

“We are excited about the opportunity to be part of this solar investment facility,” said Martin Mobley, vice president, Morgan Stanley. “Clean Power Finance provides outstanding market access, underwriting and asset management services for solar institutional investors.”

This type of financing is the driving force behind residential solar adoption today because nearly one third of U.S. homeowners can save money with solar financed by a lease or PPA structure. Further U.S. residential solar market expansion is a function of financing availability. Clean Power Finance is working to make competitive financing available to its network of more than 1,550 solar professionals in all 50 states.

“The MySolar program will be the largest residential solar investment facility in the nation and can help save consumers millions of dollars in electricity payments, create thousands of solar jobs and further the easy adoption of solar for thousands of homeowners around the country,” said Jonathan W. (J.W.) Postal, senior vice president of Main Street Power.

Clean Power Finance entered the residential solar financing market in California in April 2011. Since then, the company has made a variety of finance products—both leases and PPAs—available to solar professionals in Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey and Massachusetts, and has facilitated more than $1 million in residential solar project financing per day.

New York, March 19, 2012—Bloomberg New Energy Finance today announced Clean Power Finance as a 2012 New Energy Pioneer. Now in its third year, the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneer program named nine other companies at the fifth annual Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit in New York.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Bloomberg New Energy Finance for our technology, the scalability of our business model and our momentum, “ said Nat Kreamer, CEO of Clean Power Finance. “Clean Power Finance is committed to driving the mass adoption of residential solar. We believe the best way to accomplish that is by creating a marketplace where investors looking for attractive assets can connect with solar professionals who have deal flow but need finance products to close more sales with homeowners. “

Clean Power Finance is building an online business-to-business marketplace to drive the mass-market adoption of solar. The company connects providers of capital who want to invest in residential solar with qualified solar marketers, installers and distributors who need residential solar finance products to differentiate and grow their businesses. Investors such as Google earn favorable returns on stable investments for which Clean Power Finance provides underwriting, billing, monitoring and performance oversight. Solar professionals gain access to non-exclusive residential solar finance products, including solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs), that they can brand and sell to homeowners who want the benefits of solar without the cost and hassle of owning and maintaining a system. Finance products are available through a licensed online solar sales platform, CPF Tools, which simplifies complex sales, quoting and proposal processes and minimizes the “soft costs” of selling solar.

The Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneers program identifies companies from around the world that are changing the energy landscape forever. An independent panel of industry experts from banking, academia, corporations, utilities and technology providers chose the honorees by assessing them against three criteria: potential scale, innovation and momentum.

This year’s winners represent a broad range of industries including bioenergy, energy storage, electric vehicles, smart grid, solar and water. Each of the New Energy Pioneers have innovative, proven technologies, robust business models, the ability to demonstrate traction and momentum in their activities, and the potential for global scale. By rewarding game changing innovators, Bloomberg New Energy Finance hopes to highlight the speed of change in the sectors it serves, which play such an important role in the shift towards a low-carbon economy.

“It has been a tough year for the clean energy sector, with severe pressure on the profit margins of manufacturers, a sharp fall in share prices, some notable bankruptcies, cuts in European government subsidy support, and a reduction in the availability of bank finance,” said Michael Liebreich, summit chairman and head of Bloomberg New Energy Finance. “Despite this, the quality and volume of applicants we received for the 2012 Pioneers program was higher than ever – a testimony to the strength of the forces driving the sector and to the sort of high-quality entrepreneurs which it has been attracting over the past few years. We congratulate this year’s winners and look forward to tracking their progress.”

Other 2012 winners include Ecotality, Emefcy, Lanzatech, Maxwell, SilverSpring, Smarter Grid Solutions, Tendril, Va-Q-Tec and Xtreme Power.

The Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneers Program is sponsored by Ernst & Young.
