Financing Options
Financing Options
- Cash Sale:
Customers have the option of purchasing a renewable energy system directly from Empower to own the project and receive tax credits based on federal and regional incentives. - Onsite and offsite Power Purchase Agreements (PPA):
Rather than owning the renewable energy system, with onsite PPAs, the customer purchases electricity produced by the system from Empower over a typical 25 year term. - Operating Lease:
Customers can lease the renewable energy system from Empower through fixed monthly payments over a typical term of 7-10 years. - Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE):
A long-term clean energy financing option available in many states allows property owners to take out a loan for the renewable energy system that is repaid via a special assessment on their annual property tax bill. - PACE PPA:
Through a combination of PACE and PPA financing, customers can pay Empower for electricity produced by the system through a special assessment on their property tax bill.
