The initial commitment will consist of an unprecedented $10 million fund dedicated to $0 down energy storage financing.

TIP Capital has developed an effective energy-efficient financing program, which allows building and property owners to leverage their utility savings to earmark for TIP Capital's fixed rate monthly financing payments for lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades, energy storage and other qualified energy-efficient projects.
