    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SunRocket Capital, formerly known as Sol-REIT, LLC, is proud to announce the successful completion of three construction-to-permanent funding agreements with Donato Solar. These transactions, which took place in the first quarter of 2024, resulted in a total financing of $14.5 million.

<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Enhancing Efficiency and Generating Clean Energy</span></strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The three projects funded by SunRocket Capital have a combined capacity of 9.24MW DC, enabling the efficient operation of GAIL Technology, Inc.'s data centers. During daylight hours, the solar fields produce an excess of energy, contributing to the grid and benefiting the utility. Additionally, the projects will receive Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC's) through the Illinois Power Authority's Adjustable Block Program, also known as Illinois Shines. These credits, earned over a period of 15 years, enhance the overall economics of the projects.</span></p>
