Since 2018, GoodLeap has financed home solar, batteries, and efficiency upgrades at an unprecedented scale—serving over 1 million customers and originating more than $30 billion in financing for sustainable solutions.
Founder Hayes Barnard saw the bottleneck wasn’t price—it was friction. Homeowners needed fast, hassle-free financing. Contractors needed better tools to manage projects. GoodLeap built a technology platform to solve both—delivering a seamless, app-driven experience that puts financing, project management, and energy upgrades in the palm of your hand.
Now, GoodLeap is expanding into energy management. Homes won’t just consume power; they’ll contribute to the grid. Virtual Power Plants will enable homeowners to generate and sell energy back to stabilize the system and reduce fossil fuel reliance. Beyond that, GoodLeap is financing smart home tech, energy-efficient appliances, and electrification solutions—helping homeowners take control of their energy use and maximize savings.
At the center of this shift is Dan Lotano, GoodLeap’s Chief Operating Officer. After 15 years at NextEra Energy, the nation’s largest utility and its largest producer of renewable power, Dan is now leading a transformation where our homes become active participants in the energy grid and accelerate the clean energy transition.
How will this reshape home energy—and how soon will we be thinking about kilowatt-hours the way we think about the cost of gasoline?
Dan Lotano shares what’s next for clean energy and how our homes will drive the change.
What is Supercool?
Low-carbon innovations are scaling. But innovation alone doesn't win markets. Adoption does. Each week, climate entrepreneur Josh Dorfman talks with the founders, CEOs, and executives who win customers, grow revenue, and capture market share—by making their low-carbon solutions the industry’s preferred choice. Without adoption, the clean energy transition falters. With adoption, we build the low-carbon future. Supercool reveals how we get there.
