Greentech Finance Solutions (GFS) Direct Pay is a program whereby LightReach will pay Greentech directly for equipment used for LightReach installations. The program allows Installers to order equipment on a per-job basis, with LightReach paying for the equipment directly. Equipment costs are netted from EPC payments, reducing cash flow burden on Installers.

Installers can opt into Direct Pay on a whole pipeline basis. This means that all future LightReach jobs will be under Direct Pay.

To opt-in to Direct Pay, partners can:

Opt-In Step

6.

Request to Opt Out

Proactively remove deals from CED at any time prior to CED shipping equipment to keep their pipelines in sync across LR and CED.

1. Go to the project's account page and click on Opt Out under Greentech Direct Pay details.

2. Opting Out unblocks payment on accounts held up for CED invoices that will never come because the EPC isn't using CED for that job.

  • That blocked list is on the Payments "Invoice Needed" tab

  • If partner clicks opt-out or opt-in, CED will be notified and the status will change on CEDs side too. If Opt-ed out, CED will bill EPC's account at CED, not LR.

Installers will continue buying pre-approved material at their established green tech pricing.

  • Choose from any AVL approved manufacturer

  • Option to select only Inverter and Rail

Example: Below is for illustrative purposes
