Solar Project Benefits

Reasons to "Go Solar"

  • Cost savings and predictability: solar energy production is predictable; you pay a fixed price for what had previously been an uncontrollable operating expense.
  • Public support: 92% of Americans, across all political parties, overwhelmingly support development and funding of solar energy.
  • Benefits of ownership: Tax-exempt Lease Purchase (TELP), Federally subsidized Bond or General Obligation Bond financing options (for public sector clients) allow clients to reap the benefits of ownership, including:
    • building equity in a valuable long-term generating asset
    • lower capital costs that produce even greater cost savings, and
    • accumulating valuable environmental attributes, e.g., renewable energy credits (RECs)
  • Benefits of financing: or, by choosing to use a third party finance structure like a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), the client avoids solar facility performance risks and the long term operations and maintenance costs associated with ownership.
