Financial Partners Program

SunEdison is The Trusted Financing Partner for Leading Solar Investors Worldwide.

SunEdison migrated the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) into the US solar arena in 2003 and has worked with a diverse set of investors to fuel our international growth ever since. We’ve closed financing on over 550 solar facilities to date and have raised over $3B of capital for projects around the world.

SunEdison’s experienced finance team relies on its understanding of the needs of investors—from banks and private equity to corporate credits—to develop relationships that are as seamless and low-risk as the underlying solar asset class. Based on over eight years of financings, we ensure that each step in the asset life—from developing bankable contracts, to managing on-time commissioning of solar plants, to financial reporting and system operations—adhere to the highest level of quality that our investment partners demand.
