Mosaic connects investors to high quality solar projects. Its mission is to open up clean energy investing and fundamentally change the way energy is financed.
Since its founding in 2010 Mosaic users have invested more than $5M in solar projects.
Mosaic connects investors to high quality solar projects. Whereas stock markets, mutual funds and other forms of investments are intangible and can be adversely affected by geopolitical and other unforeseen events, solar panels, being real assets, aren’t affected for these external factors. Once a solar panel is connected and operating, it will produce clean electricity as long as the Sun shines regardless of geopolitical issues. With yield rates often at least 2-3 times higher than other comparable fixed income investments such as bonds, Mosaic’s steady returns are a great option in an uncertain world.
