Benefits of Solar Panels for Non-Profit Organizations
Non-profits have a lot to gain by going solar.
More Money for Your Cause
Solar panels save you money on a major operating expense—electricity—so you can put more money into your mission.
Better Media Attention
Installing solar panels is a highly visible investment in the environment and your local community. By installing solar panels, your non-profit organization can generate positive media attention that could lead to more donations.
Smaller Carbon Footprint
Solar panels reduce fossil fuel consumption and cut carbon emissions. By switching to solar energy, your organization can reduce its impact on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.
Reliable Backup Power (Optional)
Backup power is invaluable to non-profit organizations as extreme weather increases blackouts across the country. With solar panels and battery storage, your organization can keep its essential operations running during a power outage.
Funding Your Solar Installation as a Non-Profit
Non-profit organizations have just as much to gain from solar panels as for-profit businesses. However, they don’t usually have the same amount of capital to invest in a solar panel installation. Thanks to new solar incentives for non-profit organizations, however, direct-solar ownership is more achievable than ever.
Investment Tax Credit (ITC) Direct Pay
Since non-profits don’t pay taxes, they’ve been historically excluded from tax benefits that help for-profit companies pay for solar panels. The Inflation Reduction Act resolved this problem by adding a direct pay option to the federal solar tax credit. Tax-exempt organizations can now receive a payment equal to the full value of the investment tax credit for solar panels—a 30% savings!
Solar Financing for Non-Profits
Solar Energy Solutions offers solar financing through our trusted financial partners. We can help you find a payment plan that works for your organization. In many cases, your monthly payment will be less than what you’re currently paying for electricity, saving you money right off the bat.
