Solar City won $280 million in residential solar financing from Google. The fund is SolarCity¡¯s largest project financing fund and the largest residential solar fund created in the U.S. SolarCity has built 15 project funds with seven different partners to finance more than $1.25 billion in solar projects.
Until now, the money has mostly come from the banking industry. "I'm a big believer that corporations and utilities need to get into this space," said Lyndon Rive, the CEO of Solar City, adding, "The top 200 corporations in the U.S. are sitting on more than $1 trillion in cash on their balance sheets."
SolarCity, which closed on additional VC funding in July, is on many people's short list of imminent IPO candidates.
Venture Capital
VCs invested more than $360 million in solar startups in the second quarter -- along with another $50 million in July. The largest solar VC deal of late was Suniva, which chose to forego their DOE loan guarantee offer.
Capital Raises From Public Companies
One of the leading CPV players, Soitec, raised a $212 million "capital increase," of which half to two-thirds will be devoted to the CPV efforts of the public firm, according to Hans-Joerg Lerchenmueller of Soitec in a briefing at July's Intersolar tradeshow in San Francisco.

Supported by funding from the Recovery Act, the solar generation project includes the installation of approximately 733 megawatts of photovoltaic panels, nearly equal to the total amount of PV installed in the U.S.ceramic zentai suits for the medical, in 2010.
Project Amp will enable a wide distribution of solar power over approximately 750 existing rooftops owned and managed by Prologis, an owner of 400 million square feet of warehouses across the U.S. NRG Energy is the lead investor for the first phase of the project, which will use at least 90 percent U.S.-sourced components with power sold to Southern California Edison.
Bank of America Corp.'s Bank of America Merrill Lynch is providing $1.4 billion in loans for the massive undertaking, one of the largest financing packages for a U.S. rooftop solar-power project. The financing is part of Bank of America's goal of putting $20 billion of capital into renewable energy and greentech.

CleanPath, a New Type of Renewable Energy Investment Firm
CleanPath closed on a $200 million equity and credit facility to invest in the development and construction of large-scale solar PV projects in North America. The firm plans on managing two revolving facilities to invest over $800 million into more than 1,000 megawatts of large-scale solar PV projects over the next 60 months.
John Balbach, the Managing Director described CleanPath as a renewable energy investment firm which develops, builds and delivers high-quality renewable energy assets to long-term owners. The firm was founded by Matt Cheney and Karin Berardo of MMA Renewable Ventures.
CleanPath will focus on later-stage solar projects that either run out of money, don¡¯t have the right team, or for some reason are unable to deliver on their solar PPA deals. Balbach said that the firm is a blend of development with financing but not an IPP.
