Solar Solutions for Government and Public Sector

Government agencies, municipalities, and public institutions are under increasing pressure to reduce expenses without cutting essential services. One of the most effective ways to achieve long-term savings is by lowering utility costs with solar energy.

The Smart Solution for Public Entities

Lower Operating Costs – Reduce energy expenses and free up budget for other priorities.
Predictable Energy Costs – Stabilize energy spending with long-term fixed rates.
Leverage Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) – Secure solar with no upfront capital investment.
Support Sustainability Goals – Set a benchmark for renewable energy adoption.

From government offices and garages to schools, parks, and municipal buildings, solar energy is a proven way to increase efficiency and financial stability while reducing environmental impact.

How Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) Work

Most public sector solar projects are funded through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), allowing government entities to go solar with zero upfront costs:

A private equity partner owns and installs the solar system.
The government entity purchases the energy at a significantly lower rate than their current utility costs.
After 10-20 years, the system can be donated or transferred at little to no cost, leading to free energy for years to come.

With no capital investment required, a PPA eliminates the burden of rising utility costs and allows public entities to redirect budget savings to other critical needs.

Types of Solar Installations

Ground-Mounted Systems – Optimal system design for maximum efficiency and long-term energy yields.
Rooftop Solar – Leverage existing space on public buildings for high-ROI installations.
