Funding Structures

External PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)

A contract between a solar developer and a customer, where the developer builds, owns, and operates a solar power system on the customer’s property and sells the electricity generated to the customer at a pre-determined rate. The customer does not have to pay for the cost of the system or its maintenance.

Internal PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)

A contract between a different departments or divisions within a company, where one division operates and maintains a solar power system on the company’s property and sells the electricity generated to another division at a pre-determined rate. The company as a whole, bears the cost of the system and its maintenance.

Tax Equity Partnership

A partnership between a developer of a solar power project and an investor who provides capital in exchange for a share of the tax benefits generated by the project. This structure is commonly used by property owners that do not have a tax liability, such as a religious institutions and charities.

Private Lending

A loan that originates from an investor or group of investors that are not tied to a bank or credit union

C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy)

Financed through a voluntary assessment on the owner’s property tax bill. C-PACE financing can be a useful option for commercial property owners who want to install solar systems but may not have the upfront capital to do so. It allows them to spread the cost of the solar system over a longer period of time, making it more affordable. However, there are large fees associated with a tax assessment. C-PACE programs are typically administered at the local level, so its availability varies by county.

Equipment Financing

A loan used for the purchase of equipment that is secured by the equipment.

Asset-Based Financing

In solar, a loan that is secured by the equity in the property.

Capital Lease

 A type of lease in which the lessee has the option to purchase the solar energy system at the end of the lease period. Capital leases typically have higher monthly payments than operating leases, but the lessee can take advantage of tax benefits and other incentives associated with solar energy systems.

Operating Lease

A type of lease in which the lessor (the entity providing the solar energy system) retains ownership of the solar energy system and the lessee (the entity using the solar energy system) makes payments to use the system over a set period of time. Operating leases typically have lower monthly payments than capital leases, but the lessee does not have the option to purchase the solar energy system at the end of the lease.
