- Purchase – or companies with available capital expense budgets, this is the easiest and most convenient way to obtain a solar system as there will be no additional paperwork or credit requirements . By purchasing a system, your business will receive a 30% federal tax credit, 35% state tax credit and 5-year accelerated depreciation.
- Traditional Financing – We can arrange financing for your solar purchase either through a third party financier or a line of credit through your current lender. Down payments can be as low as 10% with terms between 2-10 years. The business will still receive the 30% federal tax credit, 35% state tax credit and 5-year accelerated depreciation by financing the purchase of the system.
- Tax Lease – Under a tax lease, a financial institution will pay for the system and lease it back to you over 10 years, at which time you can purchase the system at FMV (fair market value). This requires Zero money down, and can usually be tailored so that your lease payment is less than the cost of the energy being offset, thus providing positive cash flow from Day 1. Because the financial institution is purchasing the system, it will receive the 30% federal tax credit, 35% state tax credit and 5-year accelerated depreciation.
- Capital Lease – Under a capital lease, a financial institution will finance the cost of the system over 5-7 years, at which time you purchase the system for $1. A 5% down payment is typically required on these leases. The monthly payments may be slightly higher than the cost of the energy being offset, but your business will receive the 30% federal tax credit, 35% state tax credit and 5-year accelerated depreciation.
