Chicago, Oct. 30 – Solar Mosaic, Inc. said it issued $307.5 million of solar loan securitization bonds in four tranches at a weighted average life of about 4.1 years with an all-in yield of 4.2%.

Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and Guggenheim Securities are the joint lead bookrunners.

The Mosaic Solar Loans 2017-2 issue drew more than $1.7 billion in investor orders and was then placed with 29 institutional investors based in the United States and Europe, according to a company news release.

The bonds are backed by an initial collateral pool of $275 million of loans with an average FICO score of 738.

An additional $75 million of loans may be purchased during the three-month supplemental purchase period.

The issuer said on Feb. 8, 2017 that it had closed the first securitization of its residential solar loan portfolio on Feb. 2, 2017, raising $138.95 million. It was the first securitization of consumer loans secured by Mosaic’s residential rooftop solar systems.
