Investment company Franklin Square Capital Partners, advised by Blackstone Group LP’s GSO Capital Partners, led the financing round, which also included Triangle Peak Partners LP, Houston-based Sunnova said today in a statement. Barclays Plc acted as a placement agent on the financing. Terms weren’t disclosed.

Sunnova intends to raise additional capital before year-end, Berger said. The closely held company, which offers residential solar electricity through leases or power-purchase agreements, raised $110 million in August and $145 million in June.

U.S. solar demand this year may exceed 5.6 gigawatts, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. That’s about 11 percent of the global capacity that may be added.

“The ability to deliver better-quality service at a much better price, from decentralized power, there’s no reason why that should end at the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean,” Berger said.
