We are somewhat different in how we are structured — for one your counterparty on Renewables.org will be solar developers who are likely more credit-worthy than the individual borr…

Thanks Bill!

Renewables.org is an environmental non-profit, so the first order effect of what we do is prevent carbon emissions by helping to accelerate solar development in the Global South. I…

Invest in Global South solar instantly via the online solar investing non-profit Renewables.org

Solar panels are fairly simple and inexpensive to install, relative to other energy sources. Best of all, they can be scaled to on-site demand since there is not a large upfront co…

My plan is to keep things simple, to answer your other question. As little abstraction and structured securitization as possible. We want it to be as close to a one-for-one analogy…

The exact legal and financial structuring is still in progress. We will likely use a structure similar to that used by Reg A+ crowdfunding platforms like Masterworks.io. In fact, I…

We are currently working with accredited investors, but we are working to launch a product for retail investors. Recent changes in crowdfunding regulation, Reg A+ in particular, ma…

Great question. Often new solar facilities come with tax benefits (ITC and MACERS depreciation) that the power consumer is unable to monetize - this is particularly true of non-pro…

Absolutely! That could be one of our next categories after solar. Depending on the facility, there could be on-site battery storage owned and operated by other non-Legends investor…

That's why it's 'no commitment', but I would not set exceptions at 7.3% if I did not expect the product to be at or near that number. Our accredited investors do better, but again,…

It turns out its tough to get exposure to direct equity in renewable infrastructure, particularly as a retail investor. Do you mind if I put that in my business plan?

Great question! We've often contemplated the Vinovest.io model. Vinovest sells fine wine as an investment. Because you own the individual bottles and are entitled, for a fee, to ha…

I have the resources to simply hire a bunch of people to do stuff, but it turns out the best people aren't going to drop on a dime and build your product for you before you have va…

Wow, those are all amazing questions. We are going to structure the investment so that your returns will be post tax-equity and post-depreciation. We would be opening up a can of w…

Hard agree with all of that. Thank you for the support!

Aw, thanks! My background is in product design and I made it myself using WebFlow. Sadly, its one of the first things I've had to give up as other concerns within Legends have domi…

lol, interesting way to think about it. I think about it as the opposite of securitization. We are designing a produce to have as few layers of abstraction, complexity, and bureauc…

It would be pretty tough to get exposure to solar panel equity by any means - aside from providing a great experience, we actually will be pretty much the next closest thing to own…

I'd say we are 80% of the way there - every solar facility will have different traits and economics as an investment. We have the legal infrastructure and finance partners to make …

We hope to operate a secondary market, may introduce some other form of periodic liquidity. Ideally yes, you will own a real individual panel. But we may settle on a different stru…
