Newest addition to Alto Marketplace offers accredited investors access to a yield-generating portfolio of community solar projects in Brazil

Alto, a leading self-directed IRA platform bringing private markets to individual retirement portfolios, today announced a new investment opportunity with Energea, a global renewable energy developer and operator.

Energea Portfolio 2 LP (the “Community Solar in Brazil Portfolio” or “the Portfolio”), which aims to provide monthly income from distributed generation community solar projects in Brazil, is now available on the Alto Marketplace, Alto’s curated platform where accredited investors can discover and invest in alternative assets directly through their self-directed IRA.

The addition of Energea expands Alto Marketplace’s real assets offering, giving eligible investors access to renewable energy infrastructure and long-term capital appreciation. Through Alto, investors can now access the Community Solar in Brazil Portfolio with a minimum investment of $25,000.

The Portfolio acquires and operates distributed-generation community solar projects in Brazil, generating revenue through recurring energy payments from a broad base of commercial and residential subscribers. It is backed by long-term energy supply agreements and seeks to benefit from growing electricity demand, rising utility costs, and the continued expansion of energy infrastructure.

Since its inception in 2020, the Community Solar in Brazil Portfolio has delivered a realized net IRR of 14.0% and has paid monthly distributions to investors every month since its launch.¹ The portfolio’s assets currently include solar installations across the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, the majority of which are actively cash flowing.

“Alto is focused on expanding access to differentiated private market opportunities that can help investors build more resilient long-term portfolios,” said Eric Satz, Founder and CEO of Alto. “Energy infrastructure is an asset class that has historically been difficult for individual investors to access, particularly within a retirement account. Through this partnership between Energea and Alto, we are making it easier for eligible investors to access a professionally managed renewable energy opportunity that combines real asset exposure with the potential for recurring income.”

Energea’s vertically integrated platform allows for direct control across the lifecycle of its solar assets, from origination and development to energy sales, subscriber management, operations and maintenance. The company operates assets across six countries, including Brazil, the US, South Africa and Colombia, and its proprietary technology platform supports operational transparency and scale. In addition to its investment offerings for individuals, Energea has managed or partnered on energy infrastructure portfolios alongside institutional investors including BTG Pactual, Brookfield Renewable Partners, and Victory Hill Capital Partners.

“We founded Energea to make access to energy infrastructure investing more transparent, efficient and broadly available,” said Chris Sattler, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Energea. “Our partnership with Alto reflects a shared belief that investors should be able to access real asset opportunities that are tied to long-term global demand trends. Through our Community Solar in Brazil Portfolio, accredited investors can participate in contracted, revenue-generating solar assets, productive solar assets designed to generate consistent cash flow while supporting the continued buildout of energy infrastructure in the country.”

For RIAs and other wealth managers, the launch offers a new way to consider energy infrastructure as part of a broader alternatives allocation for their clients. The Portfolio’s monthly distribution history, contracted revenue model and exposure to essential energy demand may be of interest to investors seeking differentiated sources of income outside of traditional public markets.

The Community Solar in Brazil Portfolio is available now on the Alto Marketplace at http://altoira.com/marketplace/energea-portfolio-2-lp.

As part of the partnership launch, Alto will be hosting a webinar with Energea. Attendees will hear from Energea’s Chris Sattler and Evan Deussing, CIMA, SVP of Revenue at Alto, as they cover the nuances of the investment and what investors should understand before committing capital.
