Capital and structure for commercial solar.

Every commercial solar project has to answer the same three questions: who pays for it, who owns it, and who uses the tax benefits. Go Local Energy answers all three.

The capital stack, in plain terms

01

Construction financing

Capital to procure equipment and build the project, so neither the contractor nor the customer carries construction cost.

02

Tax equity

Federal solar projects generate an investment tax credit worth 30% or more of project cost, plus accelerated depreciation. Most building owners and most contractors cannot use those benefits efficiently. We structure partnerships that place those benefits with investors who can, and the value comes back to the project as lower cost and better pricing for the customer. Where a partnership is not the right fit, credits can be sold directly under Section 6418 transferability.

03

Long-term ownership capital

Someone has to own the asset for twenty-five years and collect the revenue. We place that ownership with long-term infrastructure capital so the project does not sit on a contractor's balance sheet.

What that means for each side

If you own the facility

You can get the system with no capital outlay and a power rate below your utility, because the tax benefits and the capital are being handled by parties equipped to handle them.

If you build or develop

You can say yes to projects that used to die at the financing conversation, and you get paid to build them.
