But rather than just offering a chance to help, Mosaic offers a piece of the profit.\u00a0 Think of it as a renewable energy Kickstarter with a kickback.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We connect individuals and institutions with high quality solar project investments,&#8221; said Billy Parish, president and founder of Mosaic. &#8220;The fastest way to grow the clean energy economy is to allow more people to benefit from it.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2011, Mosaic began as a zero-interest way for people to help launch large solar installation projects. For instance, say a non-profit in California needs $100,000 to build a large solar array: You and other investors kick in funding, the project gets built and Mosaic pays you back later.\u00a0 Mosaic raised $350,000 in 18 months with that zero-interest model.<\/p>\n<p>Last year it added interest-bearing returns to the mix and raised $300,000 in one day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know there are lots of people who want to be part of the clean energy revolution,&#8221; Billy Parish said.\u00a0 &#8220;But we also recognize the power of enlightened self-interest.\u00a0 If people can participate in something meaningful\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0have the potential for profit, they are even more motivated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mosaic finds projects that need funding and offers them to investors on their website.\u00a0 The invested dollars help build the systems, and \u2013 as the systems generate energy and revenue \u2013 investors are repaid over the term of their investment with annual returns and monthly payments.<\/p>\n<p>Profits aren\u2019t guaranteed, but Mosaic expects returns far higher than small investors can get elsewhere because power from large solar installations is generally sold up front in purchase power agreements and locked in over a certain period of time.\u00a0 Mosaic\u2019s current projects offer returns ranging between 4.5% and 6.38% per year, and Mosaic\u2019s profit comes from a 1% annual fee on each dollar invested.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the volatility of the stock market or the anemic CD rates offered at banks, a 4.5% return on investment is pretty attractive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4217\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2013\/06\/energyInnovationSeries-Mosaic-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4217\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2013\/06\/energyInnovationSeries-Mosaic-2-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2013\/06\/energyInnovationSeries-Mosaic-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2013\/06\/energyInnovationSeries-Mosaic-2.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Mosaic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s not charity.\u00a0 It\u2019s a real investment. \u00a0Every big energy project needs capital, and one of the fastest ways to spark investment in renewable energy is to make it easier for regular people to participate financially.\u00a0 Renewable energy provides not only a chance for people to participate in the solution with their purchasing dollars, but also the ability to profit from it with their investment dollars.<\/p>\n<p>To date, Mosaic has fully funded 12 solar arrays, totaling 1.4 megawatts of solar energy to the tune of $2 million.\u00a0 Some of the projects are very small, like a 9kw system at People\u2019s Grocery in Oakland, CA.\u00a0 Some are large, like the 550kw system at the Wildwoods Convention Center in Wildwood, NJ.\u00a0 Individual investments have ranged from $25 to $50,000, but the average investment to date is $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>(As is the case with all investments, investors are urged to read the company\u2019s full prospectus for each project.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our biggest project so far has raised more than $1 million from more than 900 investors,&#8221; Billy Parish said.\u00a0 &#8220;And with each new project, we\u2019re growing the number of people who are tangibly invested in the clean energy economy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDF&#8217;s Energy Innovation Series\u00a0highlights innovations across a broad range of energy categories, including smart grid and renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency financing and progressive utilities, to name a few.
