Financing & Incentives

Corporate Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE)

C-PACE allows commercial property owners to pay for energy-related investments (like high efficiency HVAC, insulation, on-site solar) to be financed and paid for through their county property taxes. This results in a lower interest rate and allows the payments to be spread into a new property owner. 15 counties in PA have C-PACE up an running.

​

C-PACE now includes non-profits and multi-family residences. C-PACE expansion news.
