On December 10, 2012, SQN Alternative Investment Fund III L.P. (“Fund III”) funded its first finance project as part of a vendor program with SolarEfic Ltd (“SolarEfic”).  SolarEfic is an equipment supplier based in England that specializes in renewable, energy saving and low carbon technologies such as LED lighting, biomass and condensing gas boilers, solar photovoltaic systems and solar thermal installations.  


Under the terms of the vendor program, Fund III agreed to provide SolarEfic with a minimum of £2,500,000 per year to finance equipment in the renewable, energy saving and low carbon sectors.

  

The first project financed under the program involved the installation of approximately four hundred energy efficient LED lights at Old Earth Primary School.  Old Earth Primary School is an eco-friendly school located in West Yorkshire, England that is committed to green initiatives.  The school grows its own vegetables that are used to prepare school meals, has a wind turbine, a biomass boiler, a greenhouse constructed from recycled material and an eco extension.
