SunRocket Capital Closes $1.4 Million in Financing for a 3.029 MW Industrial Rooftop Solar Project Developed by Solar USA in Illinois

July 9, 2024

SunRocket Capital, a structured finance partner to solar developers, is pleased to announce the completion of funding for an industrial Solar USA project in Romeoville, Illinois. The completed 3.029 MW (DC) roof-mounted project was commissioned to support the power needs of a national retailer’s distribution facility.

The project enables the distribution center to operate efficiently, with any excess energy benefiting the utility and the grid. In return, the project receives Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) from the local utility, ComEd, enhancing overall project economics.

"SunRocket Capital is fueling our growth through its financing of this project," stated Al Busano, President of Solar USA. "By transitioning this project to long-term debt, we can retain it in our portfolio and realize the long-term benefits for both our client and the market, which will consume energy from this project for years to come."

"We are excited to initiate our relationship with Solar USA and Mr. Busano’s team with the funding of this project," added Derek Gabriel, Sr., Chief Operating Officer and Head of Originations at SunRocket Capital. "They have a diverse range of projects across multiple states and sectors, presenting us with an opportunity to assist their firm in building a robust portfolio of assets that they will own and operate long-term."
