OneRoof Energy, the first U.S. residential solar leasing company to work directly with roofers to sell and install its systems, has secured $3 million in additional financing from clean-tech investment firm Black Coral Capital. The company will utilize the funds to expand current markets and launch new markets this year. Black Coral Capital backs innovative companies in the clean technology and renewable energy sector.

"We are thrilled to be involved as the company expands and brings solar rooftop systems and leasing options to new markets."

"OneRoof Energy's strategic business model has proven to be successful in attracting strong channel partners," said Black Coral Capital Vice President Nikhil Garg. "We are thrilled to be involved as the company expands and brings solar rooftop systems and leasing options to new markets."

In September 2011, OneRoof Energy received $50 million in financing from Black Coral, Hanwha International, and a U.S. Bancorp subsidiary to create the SolarSelect® Lease. The simple lease program allows homeowners the ability to integrate solar onto their roof with little to no upfront payment. Customers make a monthly lease payment for the system, which when combined with their new, lower electric bill, is lower than their existing bill without solar. OneRoof Energy intends to close its second fund later in 2012.

"We are pleased with Black Coral Capital's continued support of our business model," said OneRoof Energy President and CEO, David Field. "The additional funding, coupled with the capital raised last year, puts us in a great position to leverage our first-to-market advantage as we identify additional ways to grow the business."

Rising solar demand and the SolarSelect Lease program has led to the company's extraordinary growth. OneRoof Energy is creating 100-plus new green jobs this year as well expanding into Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado and beyond.
