Renewable energy has the power to decrease
dependency on foreign oil and reduce the world’s
carbon footprint by tapping into a resource
unhindered by production snafus or political
peril: the sun. But harnessing the power of the
sun is no smaller matter. The investment required
to begin solar energy generation is the #1 hurdle
for many. Moreover, the amount of land required
to establish solar resources of scale is sizable,
dictating that its location is often rural.
Fortunately, a solar project’s rural location unlocks
a special financing opportunity from the USDA.
The government agency more commonly known
for its service to agriculture also backs a
government guaranteed lending program
specifically for rural energy projects – no
agricultural competent required. The
USDA-backed loans, which range from $2
million to $50 million, are facilitated with the
help of trusted lenders like North Avenue Capital.
