Financial Partners

Genuine ® SolarGreen/WindPower Renewable Energy Partners, LLC provides opportunities for financial institutions and other corporate investors to obtain sound financial returns from investments in the solar sector through equity or secured debt.  SGRE typically combines multiple solar energy facilities into a single, diversified investment partnership or LLC for a low-risk, credit-worthy participation in some or all of several benefits:

• Federal renewable energy investment tax credits
• State-specific financial incentives (rebates, incentives, grants and state credits)
• Accelerated depreciation
• Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s)
• Net Income from power purchase agreements
• Proceeds of any sale of solar energy facilities
• On-going asset management and reporting by SGRE

The hallmark financial approach by SGRE is its creative flexibility. We have the ability to accommodate multiple investor interests; those focused primarily in cash flow, others primarily interested in tax-based advantages, and those interested in a combination of all benefits.  SGRE is looking to create a multi-investor fund, while continuing to work one-on-one with major investors.

SGRE is also working with large corporations looking to “go solar” and hedge against the volatility of future energy costs by being both the host customer and also partner / owner.  The advantages of such an option include lower up-front cost and the ability to harvest the tax benefits.

In addition to the initial development of the PV systems, SGRE helps mitigate the risks associated with long-term performance of a portfolio of solar assets by providing ongoing management, state-of-the-art monitoring, and regular maintenance services.

All of these activities help to ensure peak performance of the assets and the longest possible useful life all with the objective of protecting investment returns.

Power Purchase Agreements

An attractive solar finance option-- the PPA.

A solar Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, is a long-term agreement to buy power from a company that produces electricity, and serves as an excellent alternative to financing and owning the system.

We use our own source of funds to build a solar energy facility on our customer's site, and maintain and operate the facility for 20 years or longer. The solar facility generates reliable, long-term clean energy for use by our customer.

Under the terms of a PPA, we:

• Assume the risks and responsibilities of ownership
• Maintain the solar panels, provide preventative maintenance services, and repair any faults
• Monitor the energy production and the system's health and well-being

Our customers run their businesses as usual, without any of the headaches of owning a power plant.

At the end of the PPA term, the facility can be purchased by our customers at fair market value, or the PPA can be renewed on favorable terms.

The PPA enables our customers (and our world) to benefit from the use of "green" energy, while still receiving some of the benefits of ownership (lower and/or "hedged" electricity costs, positive public image, etc. ) and allows them to spend their capital budget on their core businesses.
