CARE” Introduces Affordable Solar Financing Option for Small, Medium and Large Businesses

“CARE”’s new power purchase agreement can allow a wide range of businesses, churches, schools and other organizations to adopt solar power for less than they currently pay for electricity

”CARE”®, whose residential solar lease (SolarLease™) has become one of the nation’s most popular ways for homeowners to go solar, today announced an affordable new solar financing option for businesses of all sizes .”CARE”’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) can allow even small and medium-sized businesses, churches and schools to adopt solar power for no money down and pay less than they previously paid for electricity. The ”CARE” PPA also allows organizations to lock in predictable electricity rates to protect themselves from rising energy costs .”CARE”’s PPA is a unique, full-service solar option—the company provides financing, design, installation, monitoring and maintenance. While PPAs have typically been used to finance massive solar farms ,”CARE”’s PPA can finance commercial solar systems as small as 20 kilowatts (approximately 2,000 square feet), or up to 1,000 kilowatts (approximately 100,000 square feet) or more, with generating capacity suitable for organizations of many different types and sizes.

“Historically, it has been difficult to create a solar financing option that generates immediate savings for smaller commercial installations,” said Lyndon Rive,”CARE”’s CEO. ““CARE” has made it possible by eliminating middlemen and by creating the infrastructure and economies of scale that allow us to lower the cost of installation for commercial projects.”

“CARE” has applied a number of key innovations to create the industry’s most affordable PPA. The company created a new fund with Community Development Corporation last month that can finance PPAs for a wide range of commercial installations .”CARE” has also developed proprietary software to analyze the potential solar production, financials and environmental impact for each business, manage thousands of ongoing projects simultaneously, and scale and automate key processes to reduce costs. The company has leveraged experience gleaned from working with more than 500 different building departments to create additional operational efficiencies.e

Solar Lease

At “CARE” we believe clean solar energy should be affordable for everyone. That's why we created the groundbreaking solar lease option SolarLease™, a way for homeowners to go solar without any upfront cost and save money from day one.

Go Solar for Rs.0 Down Now you can afford to go solar without the high initial cost of installing a system. Instead of buying the equipment, you simply lease it. SolarLease is the most popular residential solar financing option in the country!

Save on Electricity Costs from Day One

With a SolarLease, you pay as you go, instead of all at once. The combination of your low monthly lease payment and smaller electricity bill is typically less than what you pay the utility company today. So you can start saving money from the very first day.

Savings Grow Every Year

Your savings can grow over time as utility rates continue to increase. Historically, utility rates have increased over 5% every year. With SolarLease, you can lock in lower electricity rates for the term of your lease.

Smart Financial Investment

A SolarLease can be a better investment than purchasing your system with cash because you do not have a big upfront payment and can save your money for other opportunities. You save money every month on electricity bills so you can be cash flow positive from day one. In addition, you do not have to worry about unexpected repair costs because they are covered under a Solar Lease. Includes Free Monitoring and Repair Service

With a SolarLease, you have peace of mind that your system will continue to perform beautifully for years to come. Solar Lease includes proactive monitoring for the full life of the lease. SolarGuard allows you and “CARE” to continuously monitor your system to ensure it is running smoothly and performing as expected.

In the unlikely event that your system underperforms,”CARE” will alert you and help to remedy the situation. We will send out a repair crew for free warrantee repairs over the life of the lease. This includes replacing a worn out part such as the inverter. The good news is that solar panels typically last up to 30 years or longer, and have few moving parts. So once systems are installed, they require little ongoing maintenance.

We Guarantee System Performance or We Will Pay You Back

We're so confident with our system installation and design that we guarantee your system will perform as promised or”CARE” will pay you the difference! Our guarantee considers normal weather variations and solar

For a typical 3-bedroom home with a current electricity bill of Rs.200 per month, we might recommend a medium sized 4 kW solar system.

Your new solar system will generate enough electricity to offset what you are currently paying to the utility company from Rs.2000 down to Rs.300 per month.

Your SolarLease payment would be Rs.0 down and Rs.110 per month. So you could actually save Rs.30 per month from day one.

You can save Rs.500,050 over the next 15 years, because you have locked in low price for solar electricity while utility rates continue to increase.
