Customer Owned
Ownership is usually the best option for companies that can take direct advantage of the available incentives.
Tax-paying customers that can take direct advantage of the available incentives can usually buy a system in a balance sheet transaction with little or no cash up front, receiving payback on their investment in the first five years, and receiving free power thereafter for the remaining twenty years of the warranted life of the solar panels.
- Little or no cash up front
- Cash flow positive from outset
- 15-25% annual return on investment
- Payback within first five years
Solar Nation works with your tax advisors to determine the parameters of a system that will meet your tax and power-consumption needs and minimize your state and federal tax liability. Solar Nation then works with your bank or finance company to model a low-interest equipment or real-estate improvement loan.
Companies that take ownership of a solar-electric system can reduce or eliminate their power bills, making them more competitive, and allowing them to keep more men and women on the job.
Own your property but lease your space?
Property owners who lease their space can install Solar Nation systems and sell discount power to their tenants, reducing and stabilizing their energy cost. This added value is a great way to keep and attract tenants.
Third-Party Ownership
Tax-exempt organizations and companies that cannot put the cost of a system on their balance sheet can reduce their operating expenses and show their commitment to renewable energy by having a Third-Party Owned system installed.
