Impact OZ Fund Launches and Seeks Accredited Investors for Opportunity Zone Investment in Sustainable Energy Technologies

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Impact OZ Fund launches and seeks accredited investors for Opportunity Zone investment in sustainable energy technologies. Authorized to raise $50 Million, the fund enables investors to take advantage of one of the best capital gains tax reduction programs of our generation.

"While most current OZ funds are centered around real estate projects, ours is different. The fund's primary objective is to invest into an operating company called SolPad" said Oliver Carmichael, Fund Manager, Impact OZ Fund. "SolPad, Inc. is an energy logistics company designing, developing and selling unique energy control and storage solutions for the commercial market" he added.

SolPad's current product suite consists of a patented solar smart inverter, scalable battery storage blocks, a dynamic load controller that helps reduce operating costs of homes and businesses while providing more safety and maximizing resiliency during power outages. The hardware suite is designed and optimized to work together with SolPad's energy management software.

The Fund's first $15M raise is earmarked as an equity investment in Solpad with its headquarters located into an opportunity zone in San Jose, California. The second objective of the fund is slated to go towards financing clean energy projects under SolPad's Infrastructure-as-a-Service commercial offering. Thirdly, subsequent funds are intended to enable SolPad to execute on corporate acquisition opportunities to further enhance the breadth of its clean energy solutions.

"This is a journey, and an exciting one at that." said Terry Jester, CEO of SolPad. "I believe OZ investors will make great partners as energy management and resiliency become top of mind for property owners across the nation and beyond. This novel and lucrative investment program gift investors with an ability to part take and finance clean energy innovation, employment in an economically-challenged zone, while providing a handsome tax deferral vehicle" she added.

Market watchers are predicting $200 to $300 billion in investment in the nation's 8,700-plus Opportunity Zones and recent federal rules include clean economy projects — such as local power generation, microgrids, EV charging stations, energy storage and more. An estimated $6.1 trillion in idle capital stands to be directed toward economic development projects in low-income communities across the country.
