Redball Energy, established in 2021 and based in Arlington, Virginia, specializes in offering flexible financing solutions for residential and commercial solar projects. Focused on accelerating solar adoption, Redball partners with developers and installers to support projects that may not fit traditional financing models. The company prioritizes long-term partnerships to deliver seamless financing options, empowering individuals, businesses, and governments to lower energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint. Since its launch, Redball Energy has facilitated over 1,000 solar installations across Washington D.C., Maryland, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, demonstrating its dedication to advancing clean energy initiatives.
In late 2023, Locus partnered with Redball to provide a revolving construction line of credit, enabling the installation of residential solar systems in Washington D.C. and Maryland. These systems, offered at no cost to homeowners, deliver 20 years of free solar power generation, significantly reducing monthly electricity bills. With Locus’ support, Redball successfully completed 413 solar projects, totaling 3.3 MW of capacity, with 82% of the installations located in low- or moderate-income communities. Over their lifetimes, these projects are expected to offset approximately 1.1 million pounds of CO2 emissions. In 2024, Locus expanded the construction line, allowing Redball to scale operations, reach more LMI homeowners, and further contribute to clean energy adoption in the D.C. area.
