Webinar: C-PACE for Solar

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing is most often used for energy efficiency upgrades to buildings, such as new lighting and HVAC systems. However, C-PACE can also be used to finance renewable energy systems in combination with energy efficiency improvements, or solely for renewable energy systems such as solar PV. Because C-PACE financing offers long loan terms (up to 30 years), it works advantageously in making PV systems pencil, reducing energy costs long term for building owners, and growing the distributed solar market. C-PACE allows a building owner to finance purchase of the PV system and take advantage of the available Federal Investment Tax Credit.

The Mid-Atlantic PACE Alliance (MAPA) is offering a free webinar on May 26th. Our presenters will discuss the advantages of using C-PACE to finance rooftop solar PV systems, as well as provide case studies on how three different commercial buildings in the region were developed and financed. 

Presenters:
• John Burns, Solar Developer for Taylor Street Storage

Solar + Green Roof project in DC
• Paul Fuhrmann, Sustainable Energy Systems; Solar developer for Frederick Indoor Sports Complex and Bar-T Ranch projects in MD
• Moderator: Abby Johnson, Virginia PACE Authority

POSTPONED Webinar: Financing C-PACE with Regional and Local Lending Partners

Due to the impact of COVID-19 in communities and businesses in the Mid-Atlantic, and out of respect for our presenter's need to attend to more urgent matters for their clients, we will postpone the Mid-Atlantic PACE Alliance (MAPA) webinar scheduled for March 18 to a later date, to be determined.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and look forward to bringing you more information about Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing in the future.

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) is a versatile financing tool for property owners looking to upgrade commercial or multifamily buildings, or find a low-cost alternative to mezzanine debt or preferred equity for new construction projects. C-PACE programs provide 100 percent up-front financing for renewable energy systems, energy and water efficiency improvements, and are active in the District of Columbia, much of Maryland, and coming online quickly in Virginia.

Please plan to join the Mid-Atlantic PACE Alliance (MAPA) for our next webinar, featuring two community-based lenders with experience in closing C-PACE financing for new construction and retrofit projects.
