In its initial stages, Mosaic facilitated a number of solar energy projects in the areas of Arizona, California and New Jersey. Four hundred individuals financed 12 rooftop solar plants with an investment of $1.1 million. By 2012, Mosaic has financed the construction of five solar power plants using a zero-interest investment scheme. About $350,000 were invested by 400 people in these plants that generated 73 kW of clean solar energy for the community.
In January 2013, Mosaic introduced an online platform where individuals can make small investments of $25 to finance specific solar energy projects for a return of 4.5% yearly. On its part, Mosaic earns 5.5% interest on capital provided to developers.
As part of the SunShot Initiative of the Department of Energy, Moasaic was awarded grants of $2 million in 2012.
