Introducing the Team Behind National Trust Energy Capital’s Next Chapter

Oct 21, 2026

A new name is only meaningful if it reflects where a business is going.

For National Trust Energy Capital, formerly NT Solar, the transition represents more than a rebrand. It reflects the evolution of a business that has grown beyond a single technology and now serves a broader energy investment market. While solar remains an important part of our foundation, our expertise has always been larger than any one technology. We are an energy tax credit investment and asset management firm that connects investor capital with opportunities across an expanding energy landscape.

The energy sector is changing. New technologies, evolving policy, and growing demand for tax credit investment strategies are creating opportunities across a wider range of projects than ever before. National Trust Energy Capital was built to help investors and developers navigate that complexity through expertise, disciplined diligence, and investment experience that help strong projects move forward.

As National Trust Energy Capital enters this next phase of growth, we are excited to welcome Mortaza Afghan and Kaylyn Semones to the team. Their arrival comes at an important moment for the business as we continue building the expertise, relationships, and capabilities needed to serve investors and developers in a rapidly evolving market.

Mortaza joined National Trust Energy Capital as Transaction Manager, bringing additional depth to our investment platform as the business continues to grow across a broader energy market.

Joining in 2026, Mortaza supports the execution of energy tax credit investments and helps ensure opportunities move efficiently through the investment process. Working closely with our transaction team, he contributes to the diligence, coordination, and disciplined evaluation that investors and developers depend on when navigating complex energy opportunities.
