Solar Projects

Commercial solar strategies designed for accredited investors seeking potential tax efficiency, cash flow, and long-term asset participation through qualified solar projects.

Investors may receive a combination of:

Accelerated depreciation benefits

Investment Tax Credit (ITC) benefits

Potential long-term cash flow from the project

Key considerations and potential benefits:

Depreciation may be used in the current tax year and/or carried forward depending on individual tax situations

ITC credits may be used against current year taxes and may also be carried back up to three prior tax years to potentially generate refunds

Potential cash flow and long-term project participation

May help offset multiple forms of income, including business income, W2 income, capital gains, and Roth conversions

Certain projects may qualify for additional incentives tied to U.S.-manufactured content

Sponsor structure, compliance processes, and project documentation are extremely important

Important items to understand when evaluating a sponsor:

Whether personal guarantees are required

Material participation requirements and support

U.S. manufacturing and domestic content qualifications

Whether the sponsor is the manufacturer or simply a reseller

Legal, accounting, and compliance infrastructure supporting the project

An investor owing the IRS $100,000 in taxes may choose to redirect those dollars into a qualified solar project instead.

In certain structures, a $70,000 solar investment may potentially reduce or eliminate the $100,000 tax liability through a combination of depreciation and ITC credits, while also providing future cash flow potential and continued project participation.
