Sunlight Financial provides solar installers with a wide portfolio of loan products, tailored to each homeowner’s preferred loan structure and interest rates. Sunlight works with existing technology systems and provides access to Sunlight’s online platform, where homeowners can be approved for loans with monthly payments that are less than their existing utility bills.
Todd Harris, CEO of Tech CU, said: “Tech CU appreciates the high quality of Sunlight Financial’s installer partners and underwriting processes. We have been very impressed with Sunlight’s rapid growth during our program’s first year. We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Sunlight and look forward to continuing to fund loans for money-saving solar systems for years to come.”
