Third Sun will design a system to maximize your budget.
Designing a power system is not only a technical challenge, but requires a comprehensive financial understanding as well. After defining your project goals, we will analyze your energy use, your facility and the available incentives to develop a comprehensive solution based on a thorough financial analysis and pro-forma that your board will understand.
Take control of your energy costs with a Third Sun solar system.
Operating budgets are strained by today’s energy inflation, and could be wiped out by tomorrow’s. Take advantage of this opportunity to hedge against the uncertainty and volatility in our energy markets. Turn underutilized rooftops into productive assets by installing your own on-site solar power plant to lock in all or a portion of your power needs.
Is your mission about sustainability? - the benefits of solar go far beyond reduced energy costs.
Nothing demonstrates your commitment to sustainability more than installing a solar plant. More and more educational institutions, units of government and non-profits are serving their stakeholders’ goals of environmental stewardship with the effective deployment of solar technology.
Solar makes sense:
- Seamless interaction with your conventional utility power simply reduces monthly bill. There is no maintenance or operating cost.
- Flat roof mounting systems provide a non-penetrating solar mounting system keeping roof warranties intact.
- Government incentives include state and federal grants.
- Financing options include traditional loans, operational (tax) leases or power purchase agreements (PPAs). The PPA model allows a third party owner to “harvest” the 30% Federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation (MACRS) that public institutions can’t access.
- Solar provides a cushion from electricity inflation. Lock in the cost of your power and hedge against rate shocks as the price of electricity continues to rise.
- Promote your organization with tools including on site kiosks and web based data sites.
- Clean power is better for the environment. Reduce your carbon footprint and do your part to help decrease the emissions that are contributing to global climate change. Employee and stakeholder recruitment, loyalty and retention will benefit as your organization enjoys the satisfaction of doing the right thing.
