Benefits

solar panel and sunflowerSolar energy  systems have obvious energy, environmental, and economic and community benefits. Secure Futures designs custom photovoltaic deployments to maximize all three benefits within each customer’s unique situation and priorities.

Benefits to customers from Secure Futures deployments include solar leases or Power Purchase Agreements (SPPAs) which leverage tax-exempt financing rates, energy tax credits, rapid depreciation, and other solar incentives to offer the lowest cost solution for customers.

This arrangement offers customers:

  • Freedom from capital expenditures for on-site renewable power generation: Customer has no capital costs or equipment costs. Equipment is owned and warranted by Secure Futures and leased to the customer.
  • Long-term price stability: Up to 25 year equipment lease or power purchase agreement contract with contracted escalation rate per year. Secure Futures’s SPPA pricing achieves grid parity price across customer’s entire peak demand and usage levels, even after cost of financing. Recent historic grid-supplied energy rate increases have been far higher than our set escalator for most customers, further magnifying savings over time.
  • Price stability on electricity expenditures to customers for 25 years.
  • Environmentally benign source of power and recyclable structural materials that results in 33,000 tons of CO2 saved per each 1 MW solar PV installed = carbon savings from 2,000 acres of mature pine trees (25 years).
  • Further establishment of customer as a solar development leader, and model of sustainable energy production within their community.
