KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to Luminace ABS-2024 Issuer, LLC (the Issuer), a commercial and industrial (C&I) solar ABS transaction. The transaction is secured by forward project revenues from a portfolio of C&I and community solar PV systems, the majority of which are owned by two tax equity partnerships, each of which is a partnership between a managing member and a tax equity investor. At closing, the Issuer will have a managing member interest for each tax equity partnership. Together, the tax equity partnerships, Dorado 2022, LLC and Arcturus 2023, LLC, own 42 project companies which own PV systems related to 112 different projects. Four projects are owned between two project companies that are indirectly wholly-owned by Luminace, and, at closing, the Issuer will own the managing member that owns 100% of the interests in each wholly-owned project company.
