SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Loanpal today announced several key milestones, including the financing of more than 20% of all new residential solar loans in the United States. Driven by industry leaders who helped create the residential and commercial solar industry a decade ago, Loanpal reduces the friction common to consumer lending through its proprietary fintech platform, which seamlessly connects banks, clean energy system installers, and homeowners.

"Until now, it has been difficult for solar and other clean energy companies to easily integrate financing solutions into their proprietary sales and operations processes for their customers," said Hayes Barnard, Founder and Executive Chairman of Loanpal. "We are grateful that 80% of the top 50 solar companies in the U.S. have adopted our platform in the last 15 months, enabling more than 35,000 customers to benefit from new solar systems."

• Partnering with 80 percent of the top 50 solar providers in the United States
• Lending $110M per month in loans backed by residential solar systems
• Goldman Sachs priced a $241 million securitization of Loanpal originated residential solar loans
