Open Energy provided us with a great loan solution. They are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to finding effective financing solutions for great projects and are a pleasure to work with.

I'm very impressed by the innovative and revolutionary funding model that has been developed by Open Energy and I'm very excited to participate in the first senior loan financing.
