SolEquity
 Description:
Enabling Commercial-Scale Solar PV Systems through Solar Investment Partnerships: The SolEquity Solution
In today’s burgeoning U.S. solar market, tax credits are the incentive used to close the financial gap and make commercial scale Photovoltaic (PV) systems cost effective.
Unfortunately, public and non-profit organizations are not in a position to take advantage of these incentives. This represents a significant barrier to organizations that may be motivated to incorporate solar PV into their energy solutions but also have to demonstrate fiscal prudence. Without these tax benefits, these organizations must pay a premium in order to acquire and operate a solar PV system.
Additionally, the capital-intensive nature of solar power generation may discourage organizations that wish to utilize solar energy, but are under increasing pressure to do more with limited budgets. Some may also find that deploying their capital elsewhere yields greater financial returns.
SolEquity provides the solution to these challenges by enabling the development of commercial solar PV systems through its Solar Investment Partnerships. Solar Investment Partnerships clearly define and structure the various elements of the solar PV value proposition. The Host enjoys the electricity generated from a Renewable Energy source, while the utility rebates, tax credits and depreciation tax benefits are assigned to a commercial partner (the Investor) who can realize the greatest advantage. In this manner, Solar Investment Partnerships create a market-enabling mechanism for advancing the widespread adoption of solar energy technology.
About SolEquity
SolEquity is a new venture backed by Arizona Technology Enterprises (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Arizona State University Foundation). Its mission is to enable the widespread adoption of solar energy (photovoltaic) technology by bringing together reputable hosts (for the solar PV systems), investors and suppliers. SolEquity structures Agreements amongst the parties, which are designed to maximize the benefits of various incentives currently available to the solar energy market.
Solar Investment Partnerships: the SolEquity Solution
Stakeholders:
Host - Typically a Public or Non-profit entity that owns the property on which the solar PV system is installed. The Host agrees to purchase the energy generated by the solar PV system and gains the benefits of a solar investment without the up front costs.
Investor - Owner of the solar PV system, and recipient of financial incentives associated with it. The Investor derives the full benefit of the tax credits, depreciation allowance and other incentives available (utility rebates, etc.). The Investor also derives a revenue stream (annuity) from the sale of electricity generated by the solar PV system to the Host.
SolEquity - Establishes terms of the Agreement between the stakeholders as well as coordinating with suppliers for the solar PV system installation, operation and ongoing maintenance. SolEquity manages the solar PV development process, including finding the right Investor for a given project.
