NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company ("Greenbacker") announced that on August 18, 2015, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Magnolia Sun LLC, it signed a definitive agreement to acquire 4 solar facilities in Fayetteville, Tennessee, for a gross purchase price of approximately $7,500,000.  The first assets acquired within the Magnolia Sun Portfolio (named "Powerhouse One"), consists of commercial grade, ground mounted solar systems located on leased property.
