About

We offer innovative financing solutions that help contractors build a better business

Renew Financial was founded in 2008 by a multidisciplinary team of experts in finance, technology, operations, and government policy to innovate the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing model.

We specialize in affordable financing for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, and we are developing an array of financing products that will help move America toward a clean energy model.

PACE Financing Pioneers

We created PACE, which Scientific American hailed as an “idea that will change the world.” PACE offers unique benefits to homeowners, contractors, and governments:

• Homeowners get low-cost, upfront funding for important energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water efficiency improvements that they can easily repay on their property taxes.

• Participating contractors gain access to a sophisticated technology platform that works seamlessly with their existing sales process to provide secured and unsecured financing solutions to property owners.

• Local governments can offer affordable financing to allow property owners to dramatically reduce energy and water use — and help governments create local jobs and achieve climate action goals.

Renew Financial administers CaliforniaFIRST (California) and RenewPACE (Florida), which provide affordable financing for home upgrades to millions of homeowners  in California and Florida. CaliforniaFIRST and RenewPACE have funded millions of dollars worth of projects throughout their respective state and our program is seen as a model for other states that are implementing PACE programs with our assistance.
