SACRAMENTO, CA – August 20, 2008 - The non-profit Electric & Gas Industries Association (EGIA) and Clean Power Finance, Inc. today announce their partnership to add business and residential energy efficiency and solar secured project financing to EGIA’s nationally recognized GEOSmart Sustainable Financing Solutions. This comprehensive financing program will be delivered through manufacturers, distributors, utility companies and EGIA’s nationwide contractor network. The partnership will provide businesses and homeowners with unparalleled unsecured, secured, and commercial financing options for virtually all energy efficiency or renewable energy projects.

EGIA, having facilitated the financing of over $400 million in home energy efficiency and solar upgrades over the past 5 years, will continue to provide its GEOSmart unsecured financing program for residential projects from $1,000 to $50,000. In addition, GEOSmart approved contractors will also have access to Clean Power Finance’s residential and commercial secured financing options.

The GEOSmart financing program now allows contractors to provide both residential and commercial customers with 100% financing for their energy efficient and renewable energy projects, with the programs that best fit their financing needs.

With the GEOSmart Commercial leasing program, businesses of all sizes now have a comprehensive, quick and easy way to finance energy efficiency upgrades, including heating and cooling (HVAC), lighting, solar PV and solar water heating applications, refrigeration, energy efficient office equipment and more.

“One of EGIA’s key objectives is to make investing in energy efficiency and solar projects easy and affordable for businesses and homeowners alike,” says Bruce Matulich, executive director of EGIA. “The addition of commercial financing complements our GEOSmart program and enables us to deliver what we believe to be the industry’s most comprehensive financing solution, all marketed under one nationally recognized green brand.”

“To be selected by Conergy, a world leader in renewable energy, is a powerful endorsement for Clean Power Finance,” said Joseph Brakohiapa, president and CEO of Clean Power Finance. “Our end-to-end solar sales solution will provide Conergy dealers with productivity tools and financial services to drive customer projects from interest to installation.”

Up until now, solar integrators have relied on the customer to proactively research and secure their own finance solutions from traditional banks that may or may not be versed in the cost and benefits or the underlying value of renewable energy solutions. CPF Tools integrates financing options into the solar quote, resulting in a fundamental shift in the way renewable energy is sold. By delivering an accurate, professional proposal that spotlights a monthly payment and environmental benefits, Clean Power Finance aims to take solar from the domain of the enthusiast to the millions of cost-conscious, green-minded consumers in mainstream America.

“Clean Power Finance is transforming the sales and financing process by delivering accurate solar estimates that present the customer with a predictable monthly payment,” said Anthony Fotopoulos, managing director for Conergy Americas. “It is this type of integrated and practical financing solution that will offer consumers one-stop shopping and make buying solar easier.”

The Conergy co-branded version of CPF Tools will be introduced to installers at ASES Solar 2008 on May 3. A sophisticated web-based software suite, CPF Tools streamlines the sales process as it flows from access to prospective customers to management of job quotes to live updates on financing status. As Conergy’s “Preferred Financing Partner,” Clean Power Finance will deliver this end-to-end solution to Conergy dealers servicing residential and small commercial customers. These solar professionals will join a community of users that already represents over 20 percent of solar installers nationwide.

Working with a network of 150 lenders, Clean Power Finance can deliver financing solutions to both residential and commercial customers across all 50 states. Financing options available include unsecured loans, equity-based financing, and leasing options (bank-owned equipment). In addition, Clean Power Finance is a leader in the innovation of new financing products that will ultimately make solar more affordable and easier to buy for households and businesses alike. By integrating financing into the solar sales quote and proposal, Clean Power Finance can offer the customer a comprehensive picture of solar benefits, including cash flow analysis, internal rate of return, levelized cost of energy, total lifecycle payback, system resale value, and greenhouse gas reduction.

CPF Tools is available to solar integrators, distributors and manufacturers today. Financing tools are free, and customized estimation, quoting, and proposal generation is available for as low as $49.95/month to Conergy dealers nationwide.
