A commercial solar PPA from Sustainable Capital Finance allows commercial property owners, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to go solar with zero upfront cost. By combining clean energy with commercial EV charging solutions, you can transform your property into a modern, sustainable destination. Our solar PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) mean SCF finances, owns, and operates the system while you purchase clean electricity at a predictable, below-utility rate.
Pair your solar agreement with an initiative to install commercial EV charger infrastructure to reduce energy costs, create new revenue opportunities, and meet sustainability goals without any capital investment or maintenance responsibility.
What are Solar PPAs?
Solar PPAs are one of the most reliable commercial solar panel financing options available today. Instead of purchasing the system outright, Sustainable Capital Finance handles the complete installation on your property at no cost to you. You simply agree to buy the power it produces for a fixed rate over a long-term contract, which significantly reduces your electricity bills.
This structure allows organizations to fully benefit from commercial solar financing without the burden of owning or maintaining the equipment.
How It Works:
-
-
SCF designs, finances, installs, owns, and maintains the solar PV system on your property.
-
You purchase the electricity generated by the system at a fixed rate, typically lower than your local utility rate.
-
SCF assumes all performance, maintenance, and ownership risk.
-
Agreements typically run for 15 to 30 years, giving you long-term stability.

Case Study: John Muir Health
John Muir Health partnered with Sustainable Capital Finance to install a rooftop solar PV system on its Walnut Creek Medical Center parking garage through a Commercial Solar PPA.
The project is expected to generate approximately 580,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity each year and deliver more than $1.4 million in energy savings over the life of the agreement.
In addition to cost savings, the project supports local and state greenhouse gas reduction goals, demonstrating how healthcare organizations can lead through sustainable energy solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Commercial Solar PPA?
A Commercial Solar PPA is a financing agreement where a third party—like SCF—installs, owns, and maintains a solar energy system on your property. You agree to purchase the electricity the system generates, typically at a lower rate than your utility.
Can a Commercial Solar PPA include EV charging stations?
Yes. SCF can bundle EV charging infrastructure into your PPA, allowing your business to support electric vehicles and earn additional revenue from charging.
What are the benefits compared to leasing or purchasing solar?
Unlike a lease or loan, a Commercial Solar PPA requires no upfront investment, keeps debt off your balance sheet, and transfers all ownership and maintenance responsibilities to the provider.
What happens at the end of the PPA term?
At the end of a typical 15–30 year term, you can renew the agreement, purchase the system at fair market value, or have it removed.
