About Ygrene Energy Fund
Ygrene Energy Fund is a provider of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing.

Read full description
The company's business model is centered around partnerships with local municipalities. Ygrene works with cities and counties to establish PACE financing programs, making their offering accessible to a wider range of property owners. This partnership-based approach allows the company to scale its operations and reach a larger market.
Ygrene serves both residential and commercial property owners. For homeowners, the company provides a way to finance projects like solar panel installations, energy-efficient windows, and upgraded HVAC systems without large upfront costs. For commercial properties, Ygrene finances larger-scale projects that can reduce operating costs and improve the building's environmental footprint.
The company makes money by charging a fee for its financing services. This fee is typically included in the total cost of the PACE financing and is paid back by the property owner over the life of the assessment. The long-term nature of PACE assessments provides a steady and predictable revenue stream for the company.
