Key Benefits
Year One Cash-flow Savings
We cover the full upfront cost for each of its projects by leveraging a combination of debt and equity finance that is integrated with all available incentive programs. D-SUN offers partners a rate schedule that is guaranteed to remain lower than prevailing all-in retail utility rates throughout the term of the Solar Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA).
While paying no upfront cost, our project partners immediately benefit from a lower cost of electricity. Over the warranted life of the system, our partners can derive hundreds of thousands of dollars in electricity bill savings. Across a portfolio of sites, our partners reduce their cost of energy by millions of dollars.
Property Value Boost
We improve the marketability of partner real estate portfolios. For every dollar saved on annual electricity costs, commercial buildings benefit from an average increase of 11 dollars in property value. This boost in property value can also improve access to capital for project partners.
Branding Opportunities
We increase the marketability and differentiation of partner products and services. Green-branded commercial space tends to enjoy a lower vacancy rate and a higher rental rate than comparable non-branded properties.
Take Control
The energy cost of doing business is currently being driven by global forces beyond the control of owners, regulators, and even local utilities. Escalating global energy demand, accelerating competition for finite energy resources, rising costs of distribution, and the need to mitigate global climate risks are pushing long-term electricity prices ever higher. Our project partners are able to insulate themselves from these trends and lock in lower electricity rates for the next 20 years.
