The company’s other financing products include residential unsecured loans (ReHome), utility on-bill financing, and others.

It recently acquired AFC First, an energy efficiency lender, and EcoCity Partners, a Florida-based PACE company and partnered with SolarCity to provide medium-sized businesses financing for new solar systems.
