FinTech Collective portfolio company Wunder Capital, an investment platform for solar projects, has announced the launch of the company's fifth fund: Wunder Capital 5. The fund features a lengthened amortization schedule of 20 years, a projected 7.5% annual return, and a 5 year investment term.
For those of you who have been alongside us in accelerating this underserved market for some time, Wunder Capital 5 represents a large step forward, taken together, toward unlocking the commercial solar market. By keeping a dramatically higher percentage of an investor’s principal at work through the investment term, and reducing that term to five years, Wunder Capital 5 can support what we believe to be a more competitive projected yield. And by pairing the amortization schedule to projected and warrantied system life, we can finally match the low monthly financing cost structures that have unlocked residential solar so effectively. We believe wholeheartedly structures like these can and will fuel the commercial market to the stratospheric growth rates seen in residential and utility scale solar, and bend U.S. carbon emissions down. Welcome to Commercial Solar 2.0, and God Bless the solar cost curve.
