What Greenprint Capital does

Greenprint Capital is a specialized investment and capital deployment firm focused on tax credit-anchored investments in renewable energy infrastructure. Founded in late 2019 and headquartered in San Diego with offices in St. Louis, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix, the firm originates, structures, and executes bespoke tax equity, hybrid tax credit, and private credit transactions that connect renewable energy project developers (independent power producers, community solar developers, distributed energy platforms, infrastructure funds) with institutional capital providers (insurance companies, banks, and corporate tax credit buyers). The company has executed more than $3.0 billion in direct investments across 228+ clean energy projects in 47 U.S. states and territories, with 70+ closed transactions and 15 closed tax credit transfers since inception.

The firm's product platform spans five core investment structures: Tax Equity (partnership-flip structures delivering ITC/PTC, MACRS depreciation, and operating cash flows), T-Flip / Transfer Flip (a proprietary hybrid combining Section 6418 transferability with traditional tax equity), Preferred Equity (senior claim to operating cash flows with equity upside), Private Credit and Tax Credit Bridge Loans (short- to medium-term non-dilutive debt secured by project milestones or anticipated credit proceeds), and Section 6418 Tax Credit Transfers (direct sale of credits to unrelated taxpayers). These investment products are supported by a vertically integrated service offering covering opportunity sourcing, project diligence and underwriting, committee-ready investment materials, capital deployment and escrow, asset management, and full-cycle accounting, compliance, and audit readiness.

Greenprint's business model is sales-led and relationship-driven. The firm earns transaction fees for tax equity structuring and advisory, arrangement fees for facilitating Section 6418 transfers and T-Flip transactions, and interest income on private credit facilities. Distribution is direct — through bespoke engagement via the company website, LinkedIn, direct outreach, and industry events — with no self-serve channels or published pricing. Coverage spans project types including solar, battery energy storage, renewable natural gas/biogas/biomass, microgrids, nuclear, and advanced energy, and tax credit categories spanning Sections 48, 48E, 45, 45Y, 48C, 45X, and 45U. The team is led by Founder and Managing Partner Peter Defazio and CFO Matt Sommer, with an investment committee whose members collectively bring $20 billion in direct clean energy investment experience.
