From the page: "Well that's where MMA Renewable Ventures steps in. These guys link investors with companies who want solar panels. The investors pay for the panels and installation, and then charge the companies a locked rate for the power coming out of the cells. The companies save money on their power for the next 25 years, look green, and don't have to lay out huge sums of money. The investors get a healthy return over the 25-year life of the cells and don't have to worry much about risk."
