Sun Fund is a vertically integrated renewable energy company that develops and owns profitable solar projects. Our projects generate predictable, long-term cash flows. We target an annual 6% dividend on our preferred shares.
All investors participating in this offer receive both preferred equity shares and an additional Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT).
Sun Fund is a real-world company building revenue generating renewable energy assets that is also developing an Ethereum-based blockchain currency platform. With the ability to implement smart contracts on a distributed ledger, the Sun Fund token will bring liquidity and a store of value for renewable energy assets while also helping to disintermediate global financial and energy markets.
As far as we know, we are more profitable than other renewable energy companies because we focus on the small and medium-scale commercial and industrial solar markets that have better margins and incentives. For example, larger solar companies will construct a 20 megawatt solar plant and only get paid five or six cents per kilowatt of electricity generated. Our projects are much smaller, but generate anywhere from 14 to 25 cents per kilowatt.
We have a pipeline of over 55 megawatts of projects so we plan to put your investment dollars to work generating revenue right away.
Sun Fund is also bringing renewable energy to Bitcoin and other coin mining operations to help make coin mining environmentally sustainable.
Before crowdfunding, companies like Sun Fund could only work with private investors. Now these investments are available to everyone.
We are inspired by the Toms Shoes One-to-One model but we are taking that further with our 250 to 1 model. We will bring electricity to 250 families in the developing world who currently do not have electricity for every one megawatt of solar that we install in the United States.

A Year End Message from Sun Fund CEO Michael Licamele
3 months agoWe would like to thank the over 330 investors to date who have joined to help Sun Fund fight climate change. We have made significant progress in 2018 and are working toward to a profitable 2019.
Sun Fund will be closing its current Start Engine offering on December 31 which is in three days.
We would like our existing investors to consider adding to their existing investments and encourage our over 1,000 followers to take this final opportunity to invest in this current offering this weekend.
What follows is update of where we are now at the end of 2018 and where we are looking to go in 2019.
Sun Fund will be publishing and filing our 2018 audited financial statements and annual report in January. At this point, we anticipate reporting a positive EBITDA from our first full year of operations and we expect to announce our first quarterly dividend for all shareholders of record as of December 31, 2018. We also expect to provide forward revenue guidance for 2019 beginning in January.
Our primary mission at Sun Fund is to fight climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We develop and build solar power generation projects that replace fossil fuel systems. We are developing an asset-backed security token and associated blockchain technology to bring innovative financial technology solutions to the renewable energy market.
We are pleased to report that Sun Fund has made significant progress in 2018.
Highlights from 2018 for Sun Fund include:
•Building and commissioning our first 30 kilowatts of solar capacity that we will retain for long term ownership along with all associated tax benefits.
•Closing on the sale of 99% of our interest in 155 kilowatts of solar projects in a solar tax equity investment transaction. This transaction is closing on December 31 and the majority of revenue from this sale are projected to be earned and recognized in the first quarter of 2019.
•Negotiating commercial terms for the sale of our interest in a 2.6 megawatt community solar project to a regional utility. This transaction is expected to close in January 2019 and sales revenue is expected to be earned and recognized throughout 2019
•Executing lease-option agreements for 145 megawatts of solar projects in the New England region. These lease options will provide for future Sun Fund projects that will be jointly developed with strategic partners in 2019 and 2020.
The primary challenge faced by Sun Fund management was that cryptocurrency markets imploded in early 2018 as the majority of unregulated tokens and currencies were revealed to be either fraudulent or without value. The Sun Fund management team elected to hold off on a token offering until the market settles and stabilizes. A major goal of Sun Fund is the creation of a securitized token offering backed by renewable energy assets was to bring liquidity to our markets.
Our vision for our token – the Sunny – is that it will become a new financial product that will simultaneously act as a currency, a security and a commodity. Because the current regulatory structure for this type of financial instrument does not yet exist, Sun Fund has chosen to start with a securitized token legal structure in order to be in compliance with US securities laws. Over time, we believe that the regulatory structure will develop to allow these tokens to be used as a currency for payments. This liquidity will then bring funding to renewable energy projects that will replace fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, regulated exchanges are completing the regulatory approval process to provide exchange where our asset-backed security token can be traded in a liquid market.
Going forward, management is preparing to launch our asset-backed security token under a new equity offering expected in 2019 that will be a Regulation A+ Tier 2 offering. This offering requires advanced approval by the SEC and will most likely take four to six months to be approved and ready to launch. We expect this offering to be our regulated securitized token offering that will be tradeable on exchanges that will most likely be approved over the next six months as well.
Shareholders in this existing offering will be give two options when the next offering is launched: Option one would be to retain your existing shares with the minimum annual 6% dividend and also receive an equivalent number of shares of the new offering. Option two will be to convert your existing shares to the new offering shares and also receive an equivalent number of shares in the new offering. This is all pending SEC approval of the new offering. The main benefit to shareholders is liquidity because the new securitized tokens will be tradeable when the new exchanges are launched.
Of course, we have to add here that all aspects of the proposed new offering and new exchanges are based on the plan for Sun Fund and there is no guarantee of the timing of the new offering or the new exchanges because that is based on regulatory review and approval.
Thank you for being a part of the Sun Fund community.

Sun Fund to Begin Marketing Connecticut Community Solar Subscriptions
4 months agoSun Fund is pleased to announce that it will begin marketing community solar subscriptions in Connecticut starting January 1, 2019 for projects expected to come on line by September of 2019. Sun Fund community solar subscribers will be able to go green with their electric bill and save money on their monthly electric bill.
The first community solar project is a 2.7 megawatt (MW) facility that will be located in Thompson, Connecticut. Sun Fund is completing the approvals for this project over the next six months and the project is expected to serve up to 600 customers.
This solar project will eliminate over 2,600 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year which is the equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 2,805 acres of forest each year.
Thank you again to all Sun Fund investors! Your investments are directly helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Notice of Material Change in Offering

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the Sun Fund offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:

Sun Fund View on Renewable Energy and Blockchain Technology - July 2018 Update
9 months agoFirst, thanks again to our first 257 Sun Fund investors! If you are one of the over 700 Sun Fund followers on Start Engine who have not invested yet, we invite you to take a closer look at Sun Fund and consider investing today. We hope you find this update helpful.
The first six months of 2018 saw a major boom and bust in blockchain cryptocurrencies, with hundreds of once highly-promoted coins and tokens falling to fractions of a penny and investors losing billions. What happened? In our view, hundreds of coins and tokens were issued by unregulated entities - many without even a physical address - and investors paid the price for this lack of transparency. While several key digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum survive, the majority of coins and tokens issued in the last 12 months are nearly worthless and will most likely never recover.
This early-stage boom and bust cycle for blockchain technology is very similar to the early days of the Internet. Investors poured billions of dollars into just about any company with "dot com" in its name, only to find out that there was no viable business model behind the web site domain name. But just as the underlying technology of the Internet brought major technological change in the last twenty years, so will blockchain technologies fundamentally change most business and industry over the next twenty years.
Now that the initial hype of blockchain technology and digital currencies is over, we believe that solid companies with real technology and solid business models will begin this blockchain technology transformation. Sun Fund is looking to bring the benefits of blockchain technology to the renewable energy industry with a profitable business model for the long term.
Sun Fund will continue to build solar PV projects with long-term revenue contracts while also building a blockchain-based digital currency backed by these assets. Our goal is to launch this digital currency as a regulated token tradable on US exchanges in the fall of 2018. Investors in our current offering will automatically receive these tokens as part of that launch.
Today, regulation of digital tokens and currencies is limited by the existing antiquated regulatory structure. At times, a digital token or coin is simultaneously a currency, commodity and a security all at the same time. The problem is that there are different departments with different sets of regulation for each category. Over time we believe that new regulations will be developed to give blockchain technologies the freedom to develop while at the same time providing protections for holders of these cryptocurrencies. We look forward to working closely with regulators to help develop this framework.
Thanks again to our existing investors and we invite our followers to join us as investors.

Sun Fund Fights Climate Change with Blockchain Technology
about 1 year agoSun Fund is pleased to announce that we will be working with SolarCoin (www.solarcoin.org) to develop Internet-of-Things (IoT) connectivity for solar inverters. Sun Fund is actively developing this technology that will connect solar projects with our blockchain Producer-to-Investor (PIP) platform.
By creating these connections, the Sun Fund blockchain platform will seamlessly monitor the performance of solar assets that will back the value of Sun Fund's token the Sunny. This data will be transparently and immutably recorded on our blockchain, facilitating real-time asset valuation. Investors on our PIP platform will be able to efficiently value solar assets using real-time data on our public ledger.
Sun Fund and SolarCoin plan to work together to create an open-source IoT environment for use by the entire industry.
This connectivity will also accurately record the contribution of each solar installation in reducing reducing greenhouse gas emissions, allowing investors to quantify and track their personal role in the fight against climate change.

Sun Fund Selects Project as First Solar Asset to Back Cryptocurrency
about 1 year agoSun Fund has selected a 23.75 kilowatt project in Bridgeport, Connecticut as the first solar project to become part of Sun Fund's solar assets backing its new cryptocurrency. The project, which will provide over 28,000 kilowatt hours per year for this senior housing complex, will be turned on in February and will eliminate over 16 tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year.
Sun Fund is creating the first cryptocurrency that is backed by revenue generating solar assets (see full details in our offering statement about our Simple Agreement for Future Tokens which all investors in Sun Fund receive as part of their investment). This project will generate revenue from both a 20 year power purchase agreement and a 15 year renewable energy contract and those revenues will be reinvested to increase the value of the Sun Fund token over time.

Sun Fund Obtains Final CT PURA Approval to Develop 2.4 Megawatt Connecticut Community Solar Facility
over 1 year agoSun Fund is pleased to announce that the company has received final approval to develop, build, own and operate a 2.4 megawatt community solar facility to be located in Thompson, Connecticut. The project was one of three selected by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) in a competitive bid earlier this year. The project obtained final approval from the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) on November 8, 2017 (see link below).
Sun Fund created a separate entity CHIP Fund 5, LLC to place the bid that was selected for the project which is called the Riverside Thompson Clean Energy Facility. This 2.4 megawatt solar facility will generate over 2.8 megawatts of AC power annually. Under the award, Sun Fund will be able to provide up to 600 families with clean energy while cutting their monthly bill by 20 to 30%. 80% of system production will be dedicated to low income renters who need these savings the most.
Sun Fund will operate the program under a special tariff created by the utilities specifically for this pilot program. The 20 year tariff establishes a guaranteed rate the utilities will provide to the new Sun Fund facility. The facility is projected to be placed into service in 2018 and will generate over $4.2 million in revenues during the 20 year tariff term.
