Renewable Properties, a team of experienced renewable energy professionals with development and investment capabilities throughout the U.S., announced the closing of a new $12.5 million capital commitment from New Energy Capital Partners to develop, finance, and operate solar energy projects for utilities, local governments and large commercial entities.

"I am tremendously excited to have closed this round of financing with New Energy Capital. They are an experienced investor with a strong renewable energy track record. Their capital will allow us to get more solar on the grid and create more jobs in 2018," says Aaron Halimi, Founder and President of Renewable Properties.

Patrick Fox, Managing Partner of New Energy Capital says, "The Renewable Properties team understands key market drivers and has identified viable investment opportunities throughout the U.S. We're pleased to have the opportunity to support them going forward."

Capital from the closing will be used by Renewable Properties to fund corporate and operating expenses, as well as, project-specific expenses including project acquisitions and development related activities like securing land, interconnection applications and studies, permitting, environmental studies and reviews.

Renewable Properties is actively hiring in all functions across the solar development value chain.
