financing

The appetite for renewable energy is growing. Commercial, industrial and municipal organizations across the country are looking for ways to harness it, to reduce their energy costs and support their ESG efforts. But deploying clean energy requires access to capital — for ourselves, our customers, and our partners.

That is where DSD has changed the game. We’ve created the first one-stop shop for renewable energy solutions (e.g., solar, storage, EV charging and more), PLUS financing and ownership. Our partnership with BlackRock Real Assets made that vision a reality … and we evolved our capacity by raising more than $1B in project funding with other top-flight partners — like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Ares Management Corp and Rabobank .

These unparalleled financial partnerships mean we can develop projects of all kinds* with funding secured. They also allow us to co-develop with, or acquire projects/portfolios from, our preferred developer partners.

* Whether you’re looking to build a solar array at a retail location, an industrial park, a brownfield site, a school, a police station — or across a number of sites as part of a community project — we have the financial resources to get it done.

The demand for clean energy is expected to spur global GDP gains of almost $100T between now and 2050. But for some companies and organizations, the perceived cost and difficulty of deploying renewable energy continue to present a substantial barrier to entry.

That’s why our goal, and strategy, is to flatten the cost barrier with a variety of financing options — from providing access to low-cost capital, to Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), to site leases and more — so our customers can make the move to renewable energy seamlessly.

When reluctant organizations see that they can get their solar array designed and installed with no upfront costs, and see a 25-year guaranteed reduction in their energy costs, that once-substantial barrier is flattened to nothing.

Providing that assurance is what it’s all about.

At the end of the day, our goal is to deliver the finest customer experience possible. Whether you’re working with DSD as an energy user, a partner developer, a supplier or a financier, we ensure that locking down financing — which is arguably the hardest aspect of a project — is a seamless process.
