NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- StormHarbour, the leading independent global markets and financial advisory firm, today announces it has acted as sole arranger and placement agent to Silicon Ranch Corporation ("SRC"), a leading privately held U.S solar project developer, owner and operator based in Nashville, Tennessee.

StormHarbour looks forward to a continued partnership with both companies."
