Solar PPA Solutions for Nonprofits
Nonprofit solar financing should be simple, affordable, and predictable. Sustainable Capital Finance provides solar PPA solutions for nonprofits that want clean energy and EV charging without upfront cost or operational risk.
A nonprofit solar PPA allows organizations to reduce energy costs while preserving capital for mission driven programs.
How a Solar PPA Works for Nonprofits
A solar PPA for nonprofits allows your organization to purchase solar electricity without owning the system. SCF finances, installs, owns, and maintains the system while you pay a fixed rate for the power produced.
This structure is ideal for:
- Charitable organizations
- Healthcare nonprofits
- Cultural institutions
- Foundations and associations
Solar Financing for Non Profits Nationwide
SCF delivers nonprofit solar financing across the United States, helping organizations deploy clean energy regardless of balance sheet size or credit rating.
Benefits of solar for non-profits:
The Boys and Girls Club of San Diego is home to two new solar arrays, totaling 165 kW, financed by Sustainable Capital Finance (SCF). The new arrays are both roof-mounted and carport-mounted and are estimated to offset for more than 80 percent of the school’s energy charges.
“I’m proud we could make it work.” Steve Campbell, Project Manager, was talking about the challenges of financing a small system, as well as the mixed mounting types. “It presented some unique challenges for financing because we needed structural engineering for the roofs and carport, as well as geotechnical investigations and land surveys.” Typically, these costs present a hurdle too difficult to jump for most energy financiers, but streamlined process and reduced project costs has enabled it to take advantage of an untapped portion of the market.
“Dealing with credit underwriting, property law, and title insurance before the system is even constructed requires multi-tooled subject matter experts –which is a testament to the SCF team.”
