Breaking Down Cost Barriers for Residential Solar

Renewable Energy SmartPod

Andy Posner is the founder and CEO of Capital Good Fund. Since 2009, Andy and his team have been working on the frontlines trying to tackle one of the biggest challenges homeowners face when they are thinking about installing solar on their homes: cost.
The Capital Good Fund develops lending programs, like DoubleGreen Solar Loans, that deliver the benefits of solar and other energy efficiency improvements to middle- and low- income homeowners, as well as communities of color.
Andy is passionate about the work he does. So much so that he recently got a desert-themed tattoo featuring a solar panel. So yes, Andy is all in on expanding the accessibility of renewables!
