Non-profit organizations located in Pennsylvania (with a focus on organizations in Allegheny, Lawrence, Lebanon, Lehigh, Northampton and Wayne Counties) and commercial businesses located in Pennsylvania (with a focus on businesses in Allegheny, Erie, and Lawrence Counties) are are invited to submit applications to go solar through Round Two of the G.E.T. Solar initiative. Selected organizations will receive a preliminary solar assessment, assistance selecting a qualified solar developer and financial savings projections.
WHY NOW? Tax-exempt organizations can utilize Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to partner with a financier to take advantage of the 26% federal investment tax credit for solar this year before it drops to 22% in 2021 and accelerated depreciation, allowing them to enjoy the financial savings from solar in just a few years.
The process to go solar with the best savings is time sensitive, as the federal tax credit for solar projects will continue to decline in January 2021. G.E.T. Solar is assisting non-profit organizations willing to take advantage of this opportunity and to install solar before the end of 2020.
Application Due Date: Monday, March 30, 2020 at 5:00 PM
