Goal Structured Solutions, Inc., through a wholly owned subsidiary, will act as the Sub-Servicer and Back Up Servicer for the $105M residential solar loan securitization by Dividend Finance, LLC (Dividend), a leading specialty lender in the clean energy space. This marks Dividend’s second securitization and is the first “AA” rated solar backed security issued in the asset-backed market.

The transaction, Dividend Solar Loan Backed Notes, Series 2018-1, included four classes of notes backed by a pool of mostly prime quality residential consumer solar loans and underlying solar energy systems. Kroll Bond Rating Agency’s ratings on the notes ranged from “AA” to “BBB”, with over 85% of the notes receiving an “A” rating or higher.

The loan collateral in the transaction includes a portfolio of Dividend’s 20-year residential solar loans from its EmpowerLoan program. Effective March 1, 2018, Dividend integrated its EmpowerLoan servicing and collection duties to a subsidiary of Goal Structured Solutions, Inc. (GS2). Ryan Gray, Chief Financial Officer of GS2, stated

“As Dividend continues to deliver new and highly competitive financing solutions to consumers, we are pleased to build our relationship and support Dividend’s innovation in the clean energy finance space.”

GS2, through its subsidiary Turnstile Capital Management LLC, is responsible for collecting and processing borrower payments, managing delinquent accounts, processing charge offs and tracking UCC expirations. GS2, as backup servicer for the Dividend 2018-1 securitization, will confirm monthly servicer reports and assume the duties of replacement servicer in the event of a transfer of servicing responsibilities in the transaction.

“This transaction establishes the continued growth of the residential solar loan asset class and we view our partnership as an exciting opportunity to add value to our partners, like Dividend, and bring proven servicing expertise to the emerging solar marketplace” stated Matt Myers, Chief Operating Officer.

“Dividend is excited to have issued its second solar loan securitization, continuing our commitment to the residential energy finance sector. Partnering with GS2 and utilizing its innovative servicing platform were instrumental in the execution of this transaction,” said Brendan Keane, Dividend’s SVP of Capital Markets.
