Horizon Technology Finance’s RoHo Joint Venture Provides up to $30 Million Loan Facility to NeoVolta
Horizon Technology Finance's RoHo joint venture provided a $20 million senior credit facility to NeoVolta, with the ability to increase the facility to $30 million by mutual agreement; the initial $20 million was funded at closing.
RoHo is a JV formed by Horizon and CR Financial Holdings, the holding company for Roth Capital Partners, pairing Horizon's venture lending expertise with Roth's public markets relationships to deliver growth capital to small- and micro-cap public companies.
NeoVolta develops and manufactures domestic battery energy storage systems and, together with partner LONGi, is building a 210,600-square-foot facility in Pendergrass, Georgia, with initial annual capacity of up to 2 GWh that could scale to 8 GWh.
For HRZN, the deal is an incremental income-generating origination through the JV rather than a balance-sheet mover, but it marks early capital deployment through the RoHo channel.
