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.”
