Municipal and Non-Profit
Commercial Solar Consulting Services

Third party financing structures known as the solar power purchasing agreement, or PPA, have dominated the municipal and non-profit space.  The popularity of solar electric for municipalities and non-profit businesses comes from the desire to do the right thing for the environment, set a good example for other communities, and to reduce utility costs.  All goals can be achieved with a solar power purchase agreement (sPPA).

Below are some examples of commercial consulting services appropriate for PPA's.

PPA Proposal Evaluation: PPA contracts vary widely in their approach and requirements.  In this evaluation we look at the terms within a proposal and offer comment.  Our perspective can provide your negotiators with fresh ideas with which to negotiate for what counts.  Pricing depends on the number of proposals and size of the project.

Financial Evaluation: A municipal or not-for-profit PPA contract should produce electric savings for the owners of the host property owners.  It must also produce a reasonable rate of return for the investors. 

Contractor Bid Solicitation:  Proposals from PPA and leasing companies can vary greatly in both approaches and savings.  We'll obtain three proposals for your consideration. By assuring these proposals are all appropriate for your purposes, meaningful comparisons can then be made.

Solar Field for Aggregated Municipal PV Production: Installing municipal solar on many municipal buildings when your town may have a suitable field which could accommodate a large PV system would make little sense.  However, to date the New Jersey BPU does not allow aggregated production to off-set needs of separate structures.  This is changing and in time it will surely be allowed.  We can help you make your case part of a growing list of municipalities which prefer the aggregated production approach and are creating pressure for change.

Other municipal / non-profit / PPA solar consulting services can be offered depending on your specific needs and are priced accordingly.
