Solar for school districts and charter schools

We build, finance and maintain solar for schools: lower energy costs, and an array your students can learn from.

Where the money comes from

A solar project earns money from four places. Who keeps each one depends on how the project is set up.

Savings on utility bills
Cash from SRECs, which we sell as a registered broker
State grants and rebates
Federal tax incentives: the investment tax credit (ITC) and depreciation

What a project like yours looks like

Our school clients' arrays range from 388.8 kW to 3,764 kW. All 5 use a power service agreement, and Central Columbia's runs 28 years. Schools also use their arrays to teach students about renewable energy.

How a power service agreement works

We set up each project around your tax position. You can own it, or use a power service agreement (PSA) or a power purchase agreement (PPA). All 5 of our school projects use a PSA.

The array is built on your school's roofs or grounds under a PSA.
