“Over the past 12 months, eDGe has worked closely with us to expand our capital stack by helping place ∼$50MM in capital that helped us own and operate our solar assets. We are always pleased to work with eDGe as they have intensive network, and act with trust and integrity as they helped us navigate the various challenges of owning and operating solar facilities. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them to any other businesses looking for similar engagements.”
