ABOUT COAST

Coast ("Coast" or the "Company") is a rapidly growing commercial and industrial ("C&I") solar energy firm. By offering innovative systems which provide dependable solar energy to commercial businesses, Coast is disrupting the way commercial building owners purchase electricity.

Through the backing of its financial sponsor, Crosstimbers Capital Group, Coast expects to finance, develop, own, and operate $400+ million of commercial solar and energy storage projects across the United States over the next several years.
