We take the guesswork out of multifamily solar so your business can grow.

Owners and property managers of multifamily and affordable housing properties face several challenges in todays market. This includes rising energy costs, meeting energy efficiency standards, and providing amenities that attract and retain tenants while keeping operating expenses under control. Implementing solar energy systems, EV chargers, and covered solar structures can help address these challenges in several ways. Installing solar panels on the roof or carport can help reduce energy costs for the property. This can be especially important for affordable housing properties where residents may have limited incomes and be more sensitive to rising utility costs. Properties with renewable energy may be more attractive to potential buyers and investors, leading to increased property values over time. Overall, implementing solar energy systems, EV chargers, and carport solar can help property owners and managers reduce operating expenses, meet energy efficiency standards, attract and retain tenants, and increase property value.

Solar & Roofing

Installing solar on the roof can help reduce energy costs for the property. This can be especially important for affordable housing properties where residents may have limited incomes and be more sensitive to rising utility costs.

Solar Structures

Solar structures, offer a practical solution for reducing energy costs and provide additional benefits for tenants. Generate energy, increase property value, provide shade and protection for tenants’ vehicles, and advance sustainability goals.

Battery Systems

Battery energy storage systems can be used to store excess solar energy generated during the day and then use it during peak demand hours when energy prices are higher. This can help to reduce energy costs for the property and ultimately lower the cost of living for tenants.

Backup Power

Backup power ensures that your property has access to reliable power during outages. Especially for affordable housing properties where tenants may have limited resources to cope with an extended power outage.

EV Chargers

Offering EV charging stations can be a significant selling point for those with EV’s and environmentally-conscious tenants who prioritize sustainability when looking for a multifiamly aparment.

Federal Solar Tax Credits for Businesses Available

30% tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act

The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit claimed against the tax liability of commercial investor’s property for investing in solar and energy. This tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes your company would otherwise pay the federal government. The ITC is based on the amount of investment in solar property. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 (H.R. 5376), was signed into law on August 16th 2022 and aims to significantly lower energy costs for Americans and provides very attractive financial incentives for renewable energy to all sectors of the economy. The expansion and additional tax incentives makes the conversion to renewable energy significantly more enticing to property owners and managers. The US Federal Government is now offering a 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for the installation of a commercial solar system. This is a 15% increase from the previous 26% tax credit. The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) will remain in place for the next 10 years through 2032.

The investment tax credit (ITC) reduces the federal income tax liability for a percentage of the cost of a solar system that is installed during the tax year.
The production tax credit (PTC) is a per kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit for electricity generated by solar and other qualifying technologies within 10 years of a system’s commission and operation. This reduces the federal income tax liability and is adjusted annually for inflation.

Your property may also qualify for additional Federal ITC add-ons, State funded programs, local incentives and asset depreciation tax deductions (Bonus and Accelerated Depreciation). BPi will guide you through the process and provide the consulting and financial modeling to reflect what your solar and energy system will yield. We design the energy system to meet your financial and sustainability goals.

Environmental Benefits & Requirements

Reduce your facility's carbon footprint.

Traditional electricity received from the power grid can generated by burning fossil fuels. This process releases harmful pollutants that lead to significant health and environmental impacts. Some multifamily apartments may be required by State, Federal and Local municipalities to install renewable energy on the property. It’s estimated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that electricity usage creates the second-largest segment of greenhouse gas emissions, which causes significant impacts to the climate. Solar power is a clean energy alternative that reduces your impact. Installing solar and renewable energy on your multifamily property demonstrates corporate, social, and environmental responsibility that drastically lowers your carbon footprint.
