Solar CFO provides fractional financial oversight and asset management for owners of distributed solar portfolios — the segment too small for a full-scope AM firm but too complex to run on QuickBooks and a shared inbox.

We work along three service lines:

Asset Management Light. SPE accounting, PPA invoicing and reconciliation, REC/SREC tracking and registry management, lender compliance reporting, and vendor coordination. Built for portfolios of 5–30 sites totaling 500 kW to 50 MW.

AI-Forward Financial Services. Fractional CFO support for debt and equity transactions, financial modeling (NPV, IRR, payback), developer proposal review, and PPA-vs-ownership structuring. We use AI-native workflows to deliver investment-grade analysis at fractional-CFO economics.

Repower Feasibility. Strategic analysis for solar repower projects — production benchmarking, equipment options, capex/IRR modeling, and PPA renewal pathways including PURPA QF, avoided cost, wheeling, and corporate offtake.
We currently manage complete financial operations for a 19-SPE, 25-site distributed generation portfolio across North and South Carolina, and we serve owners nationwide with deep market experience in the Carolinas (Duke DEC/DEP, NC-RETS, NC REPS), California (NEM 2.0/3.0), and Massachusetts (SMART).

Typical clients: private equity and family offices, solar developers turned operators, tax equity investors post-flip, and community solar operators who lack in-house financial and administrative staff.

Solar CFO is a dba of Zing Advisors LLC. Founded by Casey Gilley (Founder & CFO).
