(1)This category includes our assets where based on our credit criteria and performance to date we believe that our risk of not receiving our invested capital remains low.
(2)This category includes our assets where based on our credit criteria and performance to date we believe there is a moderate level of risk to not receiving some or all of our invested capital.
(3)This category includes our assets where based on our credit criteria and performance to date, we believe there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to recover some or all of our invested capital. Included in this category are two commercial receivables with a combined total carrying value of approximately $8 million as of March 31, 2021 which we have held on non-accrual status since 2017. We expect to continue to pursue our legal claims with regards to these assets. In addition, there is an equity method investment in a wind project with no book value where we had previously disclosed in 2019 our allocation of impairment losses recorded by the project sponsor. We moved this investment from Category 2 to Category 3 due to continued underperformance.
(4)Total reconciles to the total of the government receivables and commercial receivables lines of the consolidated balance sheets.
(5)Some of the individual projects included in portfolios that make up our equity method investments have government off-takers. As they are part of large portfolios, they are not classified separately. 
(6)Average remaining balance is calculated gross of allowance for loss on receivables and excludes approximately 149 transactions each with outstanding balances that are less than $1 million and that in the aggregate total $59 million.
Summary of Carrying Value, Expected Loan Funding Commitments, and Allowance by Type of Receivable
Below is a summary of the carrying value, expected loan funding commitments, and allowance by type of receivable or "Portfolio Segment", as defined by Topic 326, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

(1)As of March 31, 2021, our government receivables include $32 million of U.S. federal government transactions and $103 million of transactions where the ultimate obligors are state or local governments.
Risk characteristics of our government receivables include the energy savings or the power output of the projects and the ability of the government obligor to generate revenue for debt service, via taxation or other means. Transactions may have guarantees of energy savings or other performance support from third-party service providers, which typically are entities, directly or whose ultimate parent entity is, rated investment grade by an independent rating agency. All of our government receivables are included in Performance Rating 1 in the Portfolio Performance table above. Our allowance for government receivables is primarily calculated by using PD/LGD methods as discussed in Note 2 to our financial statements in this Form 10-Q. Our expectation of credit losses for these receivables is immaterial given the high credit-quality of the obligors.
(2)As of March 31, 2021, this category of assets includes $536 million of mezzanine loans made on a non-recourse basis to special purpose subsidiaries of residential solar companies which are secured by residential solar assets where we rely on certain limited indemnities, warranties, and other obligations of the residential solar companies or their other subsidiaries. Approximately $511 million of our commercial receivables are loans made to entities in which we also have non-controlling equity investments of approximately $29 million. This total also includes $48 million of lease agreements where we hold legal title to the underlying real estate which are treated under GAAP as receivables since they were deemed to be failed sale/leaseback transactions as described in Note 2 to our financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Risk characteristics of our commercial receivables include a project’s operating risks, which include the impact of the overall economic environment, the sustainable infrastructure sector, the effect of local, industry, and broader economic factors, the impact of any variation in weather and trends in interest rates. We use assumptions related to these risks to estimate an allowance using a discounted cash flow analysis or the PD/LGD method as discussed in Note 2 to our financial statements in this Form 10-Q. All of our commercial receivables are included in Performance Rating 1 in the Portfolio Performance table above, except for $19 million of receivables included in Performance Category 2 and the $8 million of receivables we have placed on non-accrual status which are included in Performance Rating 3. For those assets in Performance Rating 1, the credit worthiness of the obligor combined with the various structural protections of our assets cause us to believe we have a low risk we will not receive our invested capital, however we recorded a $22 million allowance on these $997 million in assets as a result of lower probability assumptions utilized in our allowance methodology.

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the beginning balance represents January 1, 2020, the adoption date of Topic 326. The beginning balance includes the pre-tax allowance for loss on receivables of $17 million recorded upon adoption which reflects our estimated loss as of that date under the new standard as well as the $8 million of receivables which were previously on non-accrual status and fully reserved.
