Whether you choose to purchase your system outright, or opt for a Power Purchase Agreement, you’re getting the same quality panels and inverters installed by the same highly skilled union workers. The systems and the amount of energy they’ll produce are exactly the same —the difference is only in the financing and ownership model.

Right now, federal incentives can offset the cost of solar for Places of Worship by up to 50%. This is due to the Inflation Reduction Act which expanded tax credits to tax exempt entities for the very first time -- in the form of a direct pay benefit. Projects installed in 2025 will qualify, but the future of the program is uncertain.
Be a Good Steward
Your house of worship is already doing good work in your community — empower your organization to do more. Every dollar saved is a dollar you can spend giving back. Solar Holler offers two financing models to ensure all places of worship can be good stewards of the environment AND your financial resources.
2 WAYS TO SAVE WITH SOLAR:
OUTRIGHT SYSTEM PURCHASE OR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
FAQ’s:
Outright Purchase
Outright Purchase
We sell net-metered solar systems to any business, church, school, government organization, or nonprofit that’s interested in making the most of their solar investment. Purchasing works best for organizations that can afford to pay for the system outright or who can secure their own financing. We find that small business owners are the most likely customers to choose purchasing over a Power Purchase Agreement.
Purchasing generally delivers the greatest lifetime savings. And there are some incredible tax incentives and grant programs available right now that significantly offset costs – in some cases, nearly the entire cost of the system!
Thanks to the IRA, tax benefits are now transferrable! In other words, you can sell any tax benefits that exceed your own tax appetite. What’s even more? Solar Holler will broker the sale of them on your behalf!

FAQ’s:
Power Purchase Agreement
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
In a Power Purchase Agreement, we install, own, and maintain a solar array on your property then sell the energy back to you at a per kilowatt hour rate— typically 10-20% lower than the rate you currently pay your utility. So you purchase the power produced, but don’t own the actual equipment.
We’ll evaluate any business, church, government organization, school, or nonprofit to see if a PPA makes sense for your goals. It all depends on your situation and current utility rates, but PPAs tend to work well for schools, churches, some small businesses, and organizations that just aren’t ready or able to invest in a system of their own.
There’s no investment or upfront cost at all because you aren’t actually purchasing the solar system itself. You’re simply allowing us to build the system on your property and agreeing to buy the power it produces. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy an immediate savings of 10 – 20%.
Yes. After 6 years, there is an option to purchase the system outright at a fair market value as determined by a third party evaluator.
Commit to solar by May 31, 2025, for an installation this year, before these benefits can be rolled back.

There’s certainly a common understanding that we’ve got to be good stewards of the environment — it’s a Christian value, but it’s really a human value. It’s something that resonates with people, and it’s something that we know we need to do, especially in West Virginia.”

“It was perfect timing — God has a plan,” said , a mother of two preschoolers who was one of the instigators of that project. “We follow the theory ‘think globally, act locally.’ … We have a responsibility to care for God’s creation. It just makes sense. Who wants to drink dirty water? Who wants to look at trash?”
