Investment Philosophy
Where Need Meets Opportunity
D-Sun develops high-value solar project assets financed by low-risk investments from its Solar Energy Investment Companies (SEICs), which are privately funded and independently managed by D-Sun. In a marketplace where risk-capital and policy-maker interests are increasingly aligned, D-Sun offers a unique, high-value opportunity for its investors.
Renewable energy, distributed generation, and credit/incentive markets are highly complex and rapidly evolving – presenting a combination of barriers to traditional market participants as well as newer entrants and non-established parties. D-Sun has achieved a competitive market position by leveraging superior finance and regulatory knowledge – combined with deep relationships and business model innovations.
A New Model for Solar Investment
Many solar companies finance systems through the traditional banking sector, and as a result face a time-consuming and uncertain approval process in a credit-constrained environment. Using its managed SEICs, D-Sun is able to deploy capital independently and decisively. As one of the first investment vehicles of its kind, sunONE (D-Sun's first SEIC) is a breakthrough for commercial solar project finance.
Each SEIC is comprised of a number of individually-wrapped project entities that own and operate separate commercial solar arrays, which feed revenue back to the SEIC. Through reliable revenue streams from long-term contracts for solar power sales and renewable energy credit trades, D-Sun's SEICs offer consistent returns-on-equity, and significantly outperform industry return norms of 8-12%.
A Profitable and Socially Responsible Investment
D-Sun fully appreciates the environmental values of our projects. We develop, construct, operate, and maintain power plants and equipment that have a net-positive impact on the environment during their useful lifetimes. Unlike electricity generated from fossil fuels, solar power does not emit carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Our distributed generation model delivers power on-site – reducing energy efficiency losses and the need for new transmission investments while unlocking ratepayer balance sheets and ultimately reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy.
