Revenue model

1. Power-Purchase Agreements: International Finance owns and installs power generation systems at client facilities with no capital cost to the client. Clients pay only for power used at a deeply discounted rate (20% below grid rates) through fixed 10-year contracts. Revenue is generated through electricity sales over the contract term.
2. Solar Energy Development: Development and installation of solar energy projects for commercial and industrial clients. Revenue generated from project implementation, system ownership, and ongoing energy supply contracts.
3. Asset Management: Active oversight and restructuring services for energy assets across real estate and construction sectors. Includes reducing multi-million dollar energy costs for managed buildings and providing renewable energy solutions to client properties.
4. Tax Credit Financing: Identification and facilitation of tax credit and renewable incentive opportunities. Takes out funding, facilitates financing, and distributes tax-advantaged instruments in the aftermarket or through private industry contacts.
5. Investment Approach / Early-Stage Funding: Provides capital and financing to early-stage companies with high growth potential in renewable energy and innovative technologies. Generates returns through equity participation and long-term investment relationships.

Core offering

International Finance finances, develops, and deploys solar energy systems for commercial and industrial properties through its proprietary EnergyModule® platform. The company owns the generation systems and sells the produced electricity to clients under 10-year fixed-rate power-purchase agreements priced roughly 20% below grid rates, while also providing asset management, solar project development, and early-stage venture financing for renewable energy companies.

Product overview

International Finance operates as a multifaceted renewable energy and real estate financing company offering a platform of financing services and proprietary energy products. The core product is the EnergyModule® system, a modular solar/heat engine configuration producing hot water, space heat, air conditioning, and electricity. This core product is complemented by four solar technology focus areas (Concentrated Solar Appliances, Photovoltaics/BIPV, Building Membranes, and Balance of System), and four service offerings (Power-Purchase Agreements, Solar-Energy Development, Investment Approach, and Asset Management). The EnergyModule® serves as the primary technology platform delivered to clients, while the service offerings provide the financing structures, development capabilities, investment capital, and asset management support that enable deployment of the energy technology.

• Altus Power: Owner and operator of commercial and industrial solar assets sold through PPAs; directly competes with IF for the same mid-market and enterprise commercial rooftop customers.
• Sunnova Energy International: US residential solar service and financing company with a long-duration PPA/lease model and growing commercial exposure; closely aligned with IF's tax-advantaged, no-upfront-cost solar offering.
• Sunrun: Largest US residential solar PPA company; directly comparable to International Finance's power-purchase agreement model, though focused on residential rather than commercial clients.

• Borrego Solar Systems: Commercial and industrial solar EPC and developer; directly competes for the 25 kW+ commercial rooftop projects that IF installs and finances through PPAs.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla Energy: Incumbent in solar plus storage with broad commercial and residential offerings; competes for the same commercial-rooftop projects IF targets, with substantially greater balance sheet and brand strength.
• Clearway Energy: Large-scale renewable energy owner-operator with utility-scale solar and storage; broader incumbent in the same renewable infrastructure asset class that IF's asset management arm serves.

Emerging players
