Solar for municipalities

A solar PPA for municipalities and governments can help jump-start your clean energy policy without adding to local budgets or calling for any increased taxes.

A solar PPA also offers governments and municipalities a way to take advantage of federal tax programs that are not available ordinarily, as they are not the system owners. This puts towns and cities on the same playing field as businesses and homeowners, as SCF is able to monetize tax benefits, resulting in low PPA energy prices.

With term lengths of up to 30 years, and the ability to purchase the system or renew afterward, a PPA provides instant savings to the municipality without the upfront cost of direct purchase or the recurring costs of a lease. Day One savings can ease a budget shortfall or allow for more investment in the community. An attractive option for rural hospitals that perhaps own a considerable amount of land around the estate is a ‘mini solar farm’, or ground mount solar array.
