Turnkey Solar Solutions for California’s Affordable Housing Marketplace

Helio mU is the only full-service solar provider for California’s Affordable Housing industry.  We’ve drawn on decades of structured finance, asset management and solar photovoltaic experience to develop turnkey solar solutions tailored to your needs.

Financing Optimized for Affordable Housing

Helio mU has crafted a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that leverages MASH, Tax Credits and other local incentives to deliver energy for below-utility rates with no out-of-pocket expense.   Terms are developer friendly and permit you to buy-out solar facilities at deep discounts in conjunction with LIHTC rehabilitations or other refinancing events. 

Our existing Green Energy Community Investment Fund™ means we’re ready to implement your solar solution immediately.  You focus on developing and operating affordable housing… we’ll develop and operate solar.  Because there’s a lot more to it than simply finding tax equity, government incentives and a good installer!

Asset Management Ensures Reliable Productivity at the Best Price

We own and operate the solar power facility, so we’re motivated to engineer systems for long term green energy generation: we use Investment Grade standards and components and design systems for optimal productivity.  

To install quality at the most competitive PPA price, our Asset Management department leverages our volume to negotiate solar component and installation prices from top quality vendors.  Just like the utility we sell only the energy delivered to your site, so our Network Operations Center meters and monitors solar production in real-time to ensure performance.

Solar Expertise  

It should come as no surprise that Helio mU is the first MASH applicant and rebate recipient as well as the first to leverage MASH for PPA financing.  Our team has over 30 years of solar finance, project development, design, installation and operations experience, and their prior experience includes the financing of some of North America’s most notable PPA projects, including the San Jose Tech Museum, Nellis Air Force Base, the Moscone Center and Alameda County Jail.
