Why LightReach Over the Alternatives

How Trinity Solar's LightReach partnership stacks up against every other TPO option in the market.

vs. Sunrun

Stock crashed 28-37%. NSV collapsed 30%. Cutting 40%+ affiliate volume. $14.7B debt, ~$1B/yr interest. Altman Z-Score -0.47. Their affiliate cuts create recruiting opportunity for LightReach EPCs like Trinity Solar.

vs. GoodLeap

Loan company trying to become TPO. All 3 rating agencies downgrading ABS. Retreating from FL & TX. FBI fraud investigation. Only 15 states, ~250 EPCs. LightReach: 31+PR, 700+ EPCs, tighter spreads.

vs. Participate Energy

Emerging TPO entrant without the ABS track record or capital markets depth of LightReach. No serial issuer status. No TCD media platform for lead generation. Limited product lease lines.

vs. Propel / Enphase

Equipment manufacturer entering finance — hardware-first, not finance-first. Tied to Enphase ecosystem. LightReach is equipment-agnostic, finance-native, with $1.136B ABS issuance and Wall Street's tightest spreads.

Long-Term Customer Value.
Not Just Customer Acquisition.

Solar 3.0 is the shift from one-time customer acquisition to building long-term value over the 25-year contract life. For Trinity Solar, that means multiple revenue streams from every rooftop — not just solar.

4 Product Lease Lines for Trinity Solar

Cross-sell across the installed base. Every LightReach customer is a 25-year revenue opportunity — not a one-and-done install.

Generator Lease

Water Heater Lease

Heat pump water heater leasing — electrification play that pairs naturally with solar. Deepens the customer relationship and adds recurring revenue over the contract life.

HVAC Lease (Comfort Plan)

Heat pump HVAC leasing — the largest home electrification opportunity. $0 upfront for customers, new install revenue for Trinity Solar, and LightReach handles the financing.


The Cool Down (TCD)

Palmetto acquired The Cool Down in Nov 2025 — the world's most popular clean lifestyle media platform with 40M+ monthly users, reaching 1 in 8 Americans. TCD powers lead-gen campaigns for ALL 4 product lease lines across all EPC partners. No competitor has anything like this.

Why This Matters for Trinity Solar

Competitors just acquire customers and flip them. LightReach creates long-term customer value with multiple revenue streams over 25 years. That's what makes LightReach an enterprise partner, not just a capital provider — and it's why Wall Street prices our paper tighter than anyone.

The EPC Opportunity

Every solar install is a door opener to storage, generators, water heaters, and HVAC. Trinity Solar earns on the initial install AND on every cross-sell over the contract life. TCD-powered campaigns drive warm leads directly to you.
