Ownership Options

Making the right choice

Federal, state, and local incentives for the installation of solar-electric systems can underwrite the cost of a system by up to 100% and provide returns of 15%-25%. The question is, “Who should own the system and receive the greater part of the economic benefit?”

Direct ownership keeps more money in your hands

Owners typically receive a 3-5 year payback and 20-plus years of free power, drastically reducing operating expenses and adding to the value of their facilities, all while reducing carbon emissions and demonstrating a commitment to renewable energy. Owners can handle the minimal service and maintenance or outsource to Solar Nation at a cost of less than 4¢ per kWh with 3.5% annual escalations.

Third-party ownership required no investment and provides guaranteed low-cost power

Third-party ownership is available for credit-worthy organizations that cannot place the cost of a system on their balance sheets, that are not tax-paying entities, or that are not interested in owning a system. Third-party ownership requires no investment and allows organizations to reduce and stabilize operating expenses as they lower their carbon footprints. Customers typically enter into 20-year agreements to purchase power at a 20 to 30% reduction from current utility rates, providing long term power savings and a hedge against rising energy costs.

Financially driven

Solar Nation prepares financial models for each customer, detailing their options, and works closely with their financial advisors to design a solution that meets the customer’s power-usage and financial needs.
