SOLAR PROJECT FINANCING WITH AN OPERATING LEASE

An Operating Lease may be the ideal financing structure for for-profit companies that don’t have an appetite for the Federal ITC or MACRS (tax credits or depreciation). The tax benefits of the Operating Lease are utilized by the lessor and that value is passed back to the lessee in the form of lower lease payments. Unlike a Capital Lease with a fixed purchase price at the end of the lease term, an Operating Lease requires a residual balance of “fair market value” at the end of lease term that typically ranges between 15-30% of the project total cost.
