Darren Thompson, chief financial officer at Spruce, said: “This is a follow-on deal to the US$120 million facility that Investec led for us last May. We’re pleased to be working with them again and with SVB on a second transaction that has allowed us to raise capital on attractive terms.

“As the residential solar financing markets evolve, the syndicated loan market has established itself as the ‘go-to’ market option for quality sponsors such as Spruce.”

Bret Turner, managing director of the energy and resource innovation practice at Silicon Valley Bank, said: “We’re excited to provide this financing alongside Investec to Spruce as it aims to scale residential solar and home efficiency improvements. Spruce is a longstanding client of SVB’s and we look forward to supporting its continued success.”
