Solar energy systems can be installed in many capacities across various government offices, garages, parks, schools and more. Solar helps to stabilize energy costs for the long term and create an increased operating budget for capital outlay through lower utility costs.
Most government systems are installed via a Power Purchase Agreement, in which a private equity partner owns the system and basically sells the power to the public consumer at a significantly lower utility rate then they’re paying to their current utility provider. This is usually a 10-20 year term — the public consumer can choose to renew the power purchase agreement or in many cases the private partner will donate the system. From that time on the energy is produced at little to no cost and eliminates most if not all that they pay to the utility provider, resulting in free energy. More and more entities are taking advantage of this system as our government strives to set a benchmark of support for renewable energy and our health and environment.

Ground-mounted solar projects often achieve the highest ROI by allowing for optimal system sizing, design and layout, improving both constructability and long-term energy yields.
Large rooftops are the most popular locations for commercial solar installations. We have completed hundreds of these installations.
Most government entities are becoming more and more pressured to reduce their operating costs and lower their budget each year. Instead of cutting jobs and eliminating programs why don’t we look at the costs that just assume there is no control over, our utility costs?

This is usually a 10-20 year term and then the owner gives the system to the government entity at $0 to little cost. From that time on the energy is produced at no cost and eliminates most if not all that they pay to the utility provider resulting in free energy.
We see this happening in great acceleration across the country as our government strives to set a benchmark of support for renewable energy and our health and environment.
