Example: Distributed Solar in the USA SOLAR CITY SolarCity Enters Into Largest Rooftop Solar Aggregation Facility $250 M Syndicate led by BofA Merrill Lynch expected to finance more than 200 MW of solar projects SAN MATEO, Calif., March 25, 2014 SolarCity (Nasdaq: SCTY), a leading provider of clean energy, today announced it has received all commitments to its $250 million financing facility provided by a group of lenders that includes BofA Merrill Lynch as Sole Structuring Agent and Sole Syndication Agent, intended to finance more than 200 MW of solar power systems for homeowners and businesses. This financing is the largest aggregation facility for distributed generation solar projects to date, and the third such facility entered into by SolarCity. SolarCity has raised funds sufficient to finance more than $4 billion in solar projects. The loan is backed by high quality, longterm customer receivables that allow the company to deploy, aggregate and season a defined pool of assets. After the solar assets are fully deployed, SolarCity expects to refinance the facility in the securitization market. 8

C11 Financial Products: Working with ESCOs Lending directly to end-user (Loan on the balance sheet of the end-user) Energy services agreement Turnkey EE project installation & services ESCO Project Purchase $ End User Credit $ Loan/Lease finance payments Lender 12
Diapositiva 12 C11 just like A2 there should be same dotted line showing constrcution payments form the Lender to the ESCO Cliff, 09-11-2012
C12 Financial Products: Working with ESCOs Option 1: Lending directly to end-user with ESCO guarantee (Combines savings guarantees from the contractor, effectively making the total agreement a performance contract) End User ESCO Construction Payments Lender 13
Diapositiva 13 C12 this model should be the same as A1 but then you just superimpose the savings guarantee line on top of it and then another line from ESCO to Lender showing "assignment by End User of any guarantee payments" Cliff, 09-11-2012
Financial Products: Working with ESCOs Option 2: ESCO as Borrower The loan is on the balance sheet of the ESCO, not the end-user. However, with this financing structure the FI due diligence is similar to project financing, because the lender will also rely on the creditworthiness of the end user and the efficacy of the project. Energy End Users Energy Services Agreement: turnkey project installation and services ESCO Payment based on savings Loan / Investment Agreement: capital for project installation Financial Institution Debt / Service payments and assignment of project security 14
