Multiple funding options for commercial solar

Outright Purchase, Fully Funded Solar PPA and Finance options for your business.

Funding Options for Commercial Solar

We will help you find the right funding option for your business.

Fully Funded Solar PPA

A fully funded Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) eliminates all upfront capital investment and ongoing maintenance, as a third-party provider installs and manages the system. You purchase the electricity at a significantly reduced rate, often with a path to ownership at the end of the term.

Outright Purchase

Outright Purchase gives you 100% of the energy generated by your solar system. This is the best option if you have large amounts of capital to fund the purchase, and it also offers some tax advantages.

Finance

Solar Finance makes solar energy accessible with little or no upfront cost, spreading the equipment and installation cost into manageable monthly payments.
