The C&I solar market has historically been the most difficult to scale… Integrating SCF’s PPA pricing gives developers the ability to get transparent, bankable financing at the click of a button.

The SUSD project was a testament to the power of partnership. Working with SCF allowed us to navigate the complexities of a multi-site school district rollout with a streamlined financing process that kept the project on track and on budget.

What we like about working with SCF is their ability to look at the ‘middle market’ deals—those 100kW to 500kW projects—that most institutional investors won’t even pick up the phone for. They provide a path to ‘Yes’ when other financiers just say it’s too small.

SCF performed all site diligence and secured unencumbered access to 24 different locations, allowing us to focus on what we do best: design and engineering. Their experience with school districts made the deployment across a massive portfolio feel seamless.

Completed Project Case Study

John Muir Health: $1.4 Million in Lifetime Savings.

Modernizing energy infrastructure shouldn’t require a compromise on patient care or capital budgets. By choosing a Power Purchase Agreement, John Muir Health was able to deploy a high-efficiency solar system that generates roughly 580,000 kWh of clean power annually, all with zero upfront investment. This project serves as a blueprint for how large-scale health systems can stabilize their long-term operating costs while meeting sustainability mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much rent could my property generate?

Annual rent depends on the number of charging spaces and the specifics of the site. As a general range, a 6-charger installation could generate approximately $7,000–$18,000 per year, while an 8-charger installation could generate approximately $9,600–$24,000 per year in rent to the property owner.

Final rent is determined by factors such as location, site characteristics, charging demand, and project economics.

How much does the project cost the property owner?

For qualifying projects, SCF funds the development, installation, ownership, and operation of the charging infrastructure, so no upfront capital is required from the property owner.

Who owns and operates the EV chargers?

  • SCF owns and operates the charging infrastructure for the duration of the agreement, including ongoing management and maintenance.

How long is the agreement?

Site agreements are typically structured for long-term operating periods of 20 years or more, depending on the property and project.

Can shopping centers install EV charging without disrupting existing parking?

Yes. EV charging for shopping centers is typically planned around existing parking layouts, with stations placed in underused or high visibility spots so normal center operations and customer parking are not disrupted during installation.

How many parking spaces does my property need?

There is no single minimum that applies to every site. SCF evaluates parking layout, traffic, charging demand, utility infrastructure, and project economics to determine whether a property is a good fit.

Is a solar powered EV charging station more cost effective than a grid connected one?

A solar powered EV charging station can reduce electricity costs over time by offsetting grid consumption with on-site solar generation, and it is often paired with battery storage to manage demand charges, though the right setup depends on site conditions and available roof or canopy space.

Does EV charging actually increase foot traffic at retail properties?

Retail properties that install charging infrastructure often see increased dwell time, since EV drivers tend to shop, dine, or browse while their vehicle charges, which can translate into higher in store spending during that visit.
