Government agencies typically go solar via a solar lease or PPA so they can use a tax paying entity to monetize the tax credits and depreciation.

BrighterLease

With the Brighterlease, Brightergy owns the solar system and leases it directly to the client for a fixed and predetermined monthly price. Since most non-profits and government agencies do not qualify for tax credits or treasury grants it makes sense to leverage an entity that can. Brightergy will take advantage of tax credits, depreciation, and local incentives to lower the cost of energy for the client.

Your savings will increase over time as utility rates continue to rise. BrighterLease essentially allows you to lock in your electric rate for the term of your lease. Each system will have a performance guarantee to ensure you are getting the amount of electricity you were expecting.

BrighterPPA

With the BrighterPPA, Brightergy owns the solar system and sells the electricity it generates, for a predetermined price, directly to the customer.  The monthly payment will change depending on the amount of energy production. Brightergy will own the system and take advantage of tax credits, depreciation, and local incentives to lower the cost of energy for the client.

Your savings will increase over time as utility rates continue to rise. BrighterPPA essentially allows you to lock in your electric rate for the term of your PPA. PPA’s are a preferred choice for customers in Massachusetts.
