Boy Scouts of America - Austin, TX
This project highlights the importance of flexibility to navigate shifting state, Federal and utility solar policies. At the time we financed this through Technology Credit Corporation on behalf of SunPower, Federal policy enabled us to do this as a lease. Austin Energy limits PPA structures. Today we recommend PACE or a 20 year loan for this type of customer.

Lancaster, CA
We financed this solar project for the original owners of Antelope Valley Ford & Mazda with PACE - Property Assessed Capital Expenditures. The owners considered tax leases, but ultimately decided on a direct-ownership financing so they would retain the Tax Credit. The financing had reasonable prepayment costs, so it was paid off prior to sale of the dealership.
