Pablo Diaz, CEO and Founder of The Awareness Group Commented:

"Our first-of-its-kind residential PPA, which eliminates FICO scores as a key determinant of approval, is a game-changer in the solar industry. The results speak for themselves: since July, we've signed 475 solar projects, representing a TCV of $36.9 million. These projects have generated $28.8 million in TAG-owned notes and $13.6 million in ITCs TAG owns which we can now monetize.

"The amazing thing is that during the beta test phase from July through mid-September, we onboarded just two TAG GRID members to sell this product. Since the official launch in mid-September, we've been rapidly expanding, bringing our total to 10 TAG GRID members submitting projects for this innovative product and 21 total have been onboarded and are expected to begin producing in 2025. In addition, with our recently launched TAG-owned non-FICO driven residential solar leasing program, we now enable TAG GRID members to offer our residential solar solutions to homeowners in all 50 states.

"However, I'm even more thrilled about the latest addition to the TFS portfolio-a unique 30-year residential solar loan program with no dealer fees and faster payouts for sales organizations and EPCs. By eliminating dealer fees, we're lowering interest-bearing loan balances for homeowners, creating a win-win for all stakeholders.

"We believe our diverse and innovative product portfolio is among the strongest in the residential solar space, and it positions us to continue driving growth across the TAG GRID while delivering exceptional value to our members, their customers and our investors."
