Non-Profits & Education

Fund the mission — not the utility.

Non-profits, private schools, and universities run mission-critical facilities on tight budgets, with energy quietly consuming dollars that should serve the mission. Power modernizes generation, efficiency, and resilience with no upfront capital — and, for tax-exempt organizations, turns clean-energy tax credits into a direct cash payment.

Why it matters

Redirect the energy line to the mission.

For a mission-driven organization, every dollar spent on energy is a dollar not spent on the mission. Financing structures let the savings fund the work at $0 upfront, and under the Inflation Reduction Act's elective ("direct") pay, tax-exempt entities can receive clean-energy credits as cash — improving the economics even without tax liability.

Questions we hear

Straight answers, in plain terms.

We don't have capital budget — how does this get funded?
Through structures such as an Energy Savings Performance Contract or Energy-as-a-Service, the guaranteed energy savings pay for the work over the term — $0 upfront, no new bond or capital campaign.
We're tax-exempt, so how do we benefit from tax credits?
Under the IRA's elective ("direct") pay provision, tax-exempt organizations — including non-profits and private schools — can receive clean-energy tax credits as a direct cash payment, improving project economics even with no tax liability.
Can this keep critical buildings online in an emergency?
Yes — on-site generation and storage in a microgrid keep shelters, health centers, labs, and other mission-critical facilities powered through grid events.
