Optimized Financial Structures for Solar Investments

At GeoFire Solar, we offer tailored financial solutions designed to maximize the potential of solar energy projects. Whether you’re looking to reduce your tax liabilities or secure long-term revenue, our expert financial structuring strategies ensure that you achieve the best possible returns on your investment.

Tax Equity Financing

One of the most popular structures for solar investments is Tax Equity Financing. This arrangement allows investors to provide capital to solar projects in exchange for a proportional share of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), depreciation benefits, and revenue from the project. Typically, these partnerships last for five years, allowing the investor to receive a significant return before exiting the partnership through a flip structure.

Benefits of Tax Equity Financing:
• Immediate access to tax credits and depreciation deductions.
• A defined exit strategy after five years, once the primary returns have been realized.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangements

Another commonly used structure is the Sale-Leaseback Arrangement, where the solar project developer sells the solar asset to an investor and leases it back. This allows the developer to receive immediate capital, which can be reinvested into new projects, while the investor benefits from tax credits and long-term operational revenue.

Advantages of Sale-Leaseback:
• Provides developers with upfront capital.
• Investors gain access to tax benefits and long-term income from the project.

Tax Credit Transfers

For investors or developers who cannot fully utilize their solar tax credits, the Tax Credit Transfer option offers a solution. The Inflation Reduction Act introduced the ability to transfer unused ITCs to another entity, allowing the developer to receive immediate value from the tax credits. This flexibility makes it easier for developers and investors alike to monetize solar projects.

Key Features of Tax Credit Transfers:
• Flexibility to transfer unused credits to another entity.
• Immediate monetization of solar tax incentives for projects with insufficient tax liabilities.•
